<p>Leadership-
*Besides things [coordinating] at the hospital, none. I was/am VERY involved with Key Club + Student Council. Both the “heads” love me for my involvement and might be willing to give me an officer position.
*Anyone have any good thoughts? I always wanted to start a FDA [Future Doctors of America] club at my school, but its so hard to. I also want to tutor kids but again, don’t know where/how this would be possible.</p>

Rank: 12/1,000 [big school with 4,000 selective enrollment kids]</p>

<p>ACT: 30 && Retaking… get the easy ones wrong [stupid mistakes].): </p>

<p>Alright, my fingers hurt from typing.(:</p>

<p>Well your weighted GPA is amazing even though your unweighted isn’t too good. try and get one leadership position before you apply to colleges and aim for a 33 on the ACT. i think both of those schools are safe reaches though, you have a pretty good chance if you do the things i said. good luck!</p>

<p>Trying my best to do so. Thanks.(:</p>

<p>um.
there are people who ACTUALLY need a miracle you know.</p>

<p>If you think you need a miracle to get into NWU or Vandy, you’re mistaken. You might not be a shoo-in but you’re competitive.</p>

<p>Aw thanks. But I’ve seen people who have near perfect scores get rejected.</p>
