<p>SUMMER EXPERIENCES
LFGA, 2008 - basically a college-prepatory camp that helps u get into colleges. it was free to attend and it was 5 weeks long. really hard to get into, national.
Lead for Diversity (Anytown), 2007 - diversity camp - went for 5 days, free of charge, had to be interviewed.</p>

<p>EMPLOYMENT<br>
Waiter, Pizza Hut, 2007 </p>

<p>SKILLS
Certified in Basic Life Support, First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Proficient in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop </p>

<p>unfortunately, I have no science or major math awards/clubs because my school has nothing of the sort. however, i want to be a doctor and I do show that passion through my work as an emergency medical technician. i will try to highlight that passion in my application.</p>

<p>Plan to major in biological sciences with a minor in sociology...pre-med track.</p>

<p>The LFGA thing will send an additional reccomendation to the colleges that I apply to. It will be from someone who went to harvard, another who went to columbia, another who went to London school of economics, and another who went to SUNY (dont worry, all of them are commenting on one application, not 4 seperate ones)</p>

<p>Essays: should be great, unique, personal
Reccomendations: should be excellent, really good.
GC Reccomendation: the best of the best</p>

<p>Schools:</p>

<p>Make sure you say that part about the AP Physics test, and I don’t think you need to say your proficient in Microsoft Word, haha. But overall, looks pretty good! :)</p>

<p>UPENN Early Decision - I’d say you have a good chance, 60-70%
Princeton - reach
Georgetown - accepted
UChicago - pretty sure
Duke - 40-50%</p>

<p>you’ll have a great shot at upenn if you apply early and write your essay about being an EMT (though be careful not to sound like a self-congratulatory ******).</p>
