<p>nyu is safty for u.</p>

<p>wait is this a chances thread or a "what are my safety/matches" thread?</p>

<p>uh. if chances..
unfortunately, you're right, "nothing spectacular here" mainly because there's no leadership that i can see. and you are doing medicine related internships o.0</p>

<p>safety/matches?
JHU, NYU probably, um.... tufts/northwestern perhaps.</p>

<p>Well, I do have an interest in science in addition to business. That's why I said I might double major. And yeh, the leadership aspect sux for me. I did do some organizational stuff in NHS, Spanish NHS, and class cabinet (led several fund-raising committees). Also, at my Chinese School I was a student representative, chief newspaper editor, and was the principal's advisor and assistant on student issues. I don't know if that counts towards leadership because it's really out of school. But yeh, I'm gonna try to write a mind-blowing essay, haha.</p>

<p>Georgetown is a good match school</p>

<p>UChicago is a good match/safety. They have an excellent economics department, one of the best.</p>

<p>UChicago is a match-safety? Since when?</p>
