| Decision: Accepted (Arts and Sciences) - biochem
Stats:
* SAT I or ACT: 2250 (800 M, 760 CR, 690 W) (stupid 8 on essay? weird as English/Lit is one of my best subjects)

* GPA: Don't do GPA around here... say around 95+%
* Rank: Top 3% - only ranking school gives, but received award as top male academic student last year (note that top 5 included one girl...)
* APs: None final (not available at my school until senior year)
Projected 5s on Calc BC, Bio, Lit
Projected 4s on Chem/Physics B (mad about these two, should be able to get a 5), French
Subjective:
* ECs: Piano, violin (both with awards) guitar, varsity rower (bow), student council, prefect, fairly prestigious summer internship at local cancer research centre, presentations at many local high schools about internship, volunteered as teaching assistant at local learning centre, school outdoor leadership program, debate

Location/Person:
* State: BC, Canada!!!
* School Type: University Prep Private, one of top in province

* Other thoughts: Am an American citizen... hoping for the Vagelos program, wrote about that in my essay. Was sweating because I didn't do the optional essay... still worked out thankfully
Hooks: Believe the internship and accompanying presentations was huge, outdoor leadership (and corresponding Leadership Award) in my favour, and I believe my recommendations were quite strong
NOTE:
@ theoneo how were you notified about the Vagelos program. Might have to bug you with a PM... send me one if you see this heh!
ONE FINAL NOTE:
Congrats to all of those accepted, and the very best of luck to all those waitlisted/rejected! |
