<p>at HPME Northwestern you’ll probably get the application, and you would be quite competitive in getting an interview (if you’ve done actual research), and beyond that it’s left up to your interview if you’re offered one</p>

<p>match at NU undergrad</p>

<p>also, if you are considering UChicago at all, you should apply ED b/c it’s not restrictive and your chances won’t halve in the RD admissions round.</p>

<p>thanks fahdh2

thanks for the tip!</p>

<p>I think you have good chances for many of the universities. Your SAT score is strong, but make sure your SAT II scores are as high as you have predicted. Your ECs are good, write strong essays and I would say:</p>

<p>High Ivies (HYP) are reaches.
Other Ivies (Penn, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell) are mid/low reaches - though it may be harder to get into Penn Med school than Harvard because competition is though.
I am not sure about Northwestern.
I hear JHU’s med school is very tough to get into so I would say mid reach, just a guess though.</p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/909649-chance-ivies-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/909649-chance-ivies-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I incorporated your scores, GPA, leadership, and extracurriculars into a systematically devised function of calculatory means that I developed to precisely calculate percent chance of admission to various universities in the US and abroad. The results are as follows (these are the percent chances that you will be accepted at the below named institutions of higher educatory education):</p>

<p>Northwestern University: 18.020%
Johns Hopkins University: 17.311%
University of California Los Angeles: 22.007%
University of California Berkley: 19.845%
Additional requested universities are too vague or undefined for calculatory evaluation.</p>

<p>Please note that these are only derived from my own personal formula which seems to accurately predict admissions chances pretty well. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>uh. thanks?
any tips on how to improve my chances?
and should i be comparing these numbers with the admit rates of those respective colleges?</p>

<p>Pretty good chances. EC’s good, esp. the hospital and pharmacy thing. Though I hear that these med programs just don’t want kids who were born doctors. Perhaps (don’t quote me), but try saying how you really enjoyed politics in JSA but ultimately realized through ur work experience at a pharmacy and hospital that medicine was where u needed to be.
Just saying, it may rouse em up a bit. Sat’s GPA good.</p>
