<p>Member of the “Who’s Who in America High School Students” (2005) </p>

<p>^^ I think thats a BS award. shouldnt put that.</p>

<p>anyway, major?</p>

3

<p>i was thinking either biology or political science</p>

4

<p>as for the “Who’s Who in America” thing, it may b a BS award…but it can’t hurt</p>

5

<p>Isn’t that the one that if you buy the book you’re in? If that’s the one then I wouldn’t put it on there.</p>

<p>What about Santa Clara, USF, Loyola-Marymount, Gonzaga, U of Portland? I think they all have nursing programs.</p>

6

<p>there is a book, but i didn’t buy it. </p>

<p>I’ll check those schools out, but I think it may be too late. We shall see!</p>

<p>Thanks mombot! :)</p>

7

<p>Yikes–I’m surprised your school didn’t push you towards those schools. It sounds like you are in a parochial high school–is that correct?</p>

<p>“Leadership Forum on Medicine Poster Session Finalist”</p>

<p>Is that a real award? Damn it. I forgot to put that down on my resume.</p>

9

<p>no, it’s a private catholic school</p>

10

<p>i did get an award for that poster session, i presented it infront of 500 people and I got a some recognition (though I didn’t come in first).</p>

11

<p>**Just a side note, catholic high schools are a type of parochial high school so you actually do go to a parochial school.</p>

12

<p>does anyone wanna guess my chances at these schools? i’m sort of curious about them</p>

13

<p>i’m thinking about just withdrawing from Georgetown, is that a good idea?</p>

14

<p>You’re definitely in at Loyola-Chicago. Admissions aren’t that hard there, my friend had a HS GPA of 3.4 and a 24 ACT and was admitted there. </p>

<p>I think with a college GPA of 3.9 you should be in at USC, I spoke to their admissions officer and it sounded like he automatically admitted students who had a 3.3 or better, as long as they had the required classes.</p>

<p>thanks a2wolves, i hope you’re right about usc! :)</p>
