<p>I really didnt get what you meant up there? Would indicating a school where you want your scores sent mean I can apply ED even if I take my SAT II in Nov or do I have to rush them?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, that’s what I meant.</p>
<p>right, that clears out the air. :)</p>
<p>Have any of your guys’ schools started? i have a feeling our new school guidance councilor sucks.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>At-least you have one. :D</p>
<p>how many majors and minors can you have in college
as in minimum and maximum
and does having more of them push up your undergrad gpa?</p>
<p>I am not sure but you can take maximum of 240 credit hours, which is equal double major. Having two major may push up you gpa but its not a guarantee. It can also fall dramatically if can’t handle the pressure.</p>
<p>Who is applying Early?

<p>And for the essay, I have my story of how I got really interested in the medical sciences. And also wanted to ask if it is evident through my EC’s that I’m really passionate about healing and medicine.
I have a LOT more EC’s but these are the ones I’m really proud of.
If anyone here’s gonna bash me for a thread I posted earlier, let me point out that that was my cousins posting their chance threads without bothering to make accounts.</p>
<p>Good for us really. My school was facing some problems in finding my records so they just faked em (in front of me) with the scores of my choice…@usama</p>
<p>@Shahrez, your academics ECs, and SAT scores are like pretty awesome I should say.</p>
<p>Haha, well faking it is another thing, I was talking to my teachers about the recommendation letters, they were like, “Beta ap khud likh kar le aen, We’ll sign them and verify it for you”. I was like wth.</p>
<p>Yeah and to me that is AWESOME!</p>
<p>Do you guys face long delays at US airports? Like 3 hour question and stuff? I’ve heard it is really bad for Pakistani guys.</p>
<p>not really. i get out in like 10 minutes.
@shahrezsyed
Wow thats amazing man, where do you plan on applying?
and the teacher rec thing is pretty awesome. our goras are like so honest they like even write the bad aspects, but i’m probably not asking any of the gora teachers anyway.</p>
<p>im not sure they can fake your sat and aps though :p… that would be awesome</p>
<p>@ maryam. well you can double major in most places, and i guess you could take a couple of minors aswell. but from what i have found double majoring requires extra time, usually a year.</p>
<p>@PAKISTAN2012
are you sure of minors because I think that most colleges ‘ask’ (as in its compulsory) you to take some minors</p>
<p>people is there any other way to improve your gpa at college other than taking two majors?
could it be taking challenging subjects in your major and minors?</p>
<p>no i mean along with the majors you can declare a minor, which is usually the way most people go. about the question of 2 minors i think colleges differ on their preferance, so you could always email them and check.</p>
<p>I’m actually taking an extra year to improve my app.
And I don’t have a set college list yet.
But I’m definitely applying for HYPSM
And btw I’m gonna make my own transcript which will be ‘verified’ by my counselor…:D</p>
<p>hahaha i dont think i would spend a YEAR fixing my app… although it would be nice :p</p>
