<p>I'm senior at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, MD. My school does not have class rankings. I've got strong essays which I really poured my heart into and I have two great optional references, had what I thought was a good interview when I flew to the campus in October, good teacher references and a strong musical supplement (15 minutes of classical piano). I also submitted some scientific research I did with a lab during my NIH internship. I'm a little worried, though, because my grades have had something of a downward trend, and I submitted a written explanation of how some anxiety problems and therapy slowed me down a little in school. Any idea as to my chances? Accepted into my safety (UMDCP) and rejected by my highest reach school (Pomona)</p>

<p>EC's: Mostly the piano. 12 years experience, DOZENS of awards and competition prizes. I also have done two service trips to Mexico to do charity work (with church). I have spent two summers as a summer intern in a diabetes laboratory at the National Institutes of Health. I have medical research published in scientific journals, the paper was presented at the American Diabetes Association meeting for 2006. During Junior year, I held down a job, 15~20 hours a week, at a organic food store. For child development class during the year, I volunteer to teach preschool kids for about 5 hours per week and have done this for three years.</p>
