<p>Hi, I am a senior in a high school in Illinois. I am very interested in applying for the UIC GPPA program. I really want to become a doctor and it has been my dream. I don't want to do it for the prestige or for the money, it was because I want to help people. I hope that whoever got accepted last year or is going through the same process, is able to help me. Thanks guys.</p>

<p>Also, I believe I have received the most credits for my year (taken the most courses and most AP courses). Also, I really wan to emphasize that I'm Hispanic because if I get in (hopefully lol) it will be because my ethnicity can help me.
So, do I have a chance?
