Chance Me for Richmond, NCSU, Minnesota

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I am currently a high school sophomore in Arizona and wanted to make sure I was staying on track to get into my top 3 schools. I am interested in becoming either a doctor or chemical/bio-medical engineer. Taking the toughest course load possible currently.</p>

<p>SAT/PSAT:
Haven’t taken either yet but people are saying I’ll do fairly well, shooting for +2,000</p>

<p>Currently: 3.66 unweighted 4.30 weighted. Projected 4.43 weighted by senior year.</p>

<p>Classes: Next 9 out of my last 11 classes are Honors, 7 of them are AP including AP Physics, Biology, US History, English 5-6-7-8, Calc. Honors are Chem and PreCalc.</p>

<p>EC: I haven’t been super involved due to complications in getting to events, barely at all:/</p>

<p>-Shadowing and Assisting two doctors in their practices 3 years (Endocrinology, Pathology)
-Working the summers at least for two years
-Phoenix V.A. Does this look good on college apps?
-I have volunteered about 100 hours so far at the V.A. in the summer, just learning more about patient care and how to better improve it.
-I’m planning on doing Stu Gov. for the next two years with a leadership position as VP
-I’m doing NHS for the next two years
-I’m going to be a Freshman Mentor also
-Starting a Medical Club
-Charity Water, Invisible Children, Rotary Club 2 years</p>

<p>So the big question is…how do I look so far for my top three?</p>

<p>“I’m going…” I’m planning…" “projected” make sure these things actually happen and these three schools should be more than manageable. Also I am aware that these three have leading engineering programs, but why apply to all of these out of state public schools? Seems expensive.</p>

<p>Im sorry, with the exception of Richmond.</p>

<p>Hahaha agreed sir, but if I do complete these things do you think I have a good chance?? What can I improve in my plan, or improve on generally?
And I’m aware, Richmond has amazing financial aid, and NCSU and Minnesota are two of the very few GOOD oos schools I have found, I can afford.</p>
