<p>One of my friends asked me to find out his chances. Here are his stats, his background etc.</p>

<p>School: Competitive public
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: African(From Nigeria, but a green card holder), son of surgeons</p>

<p>GPA: Between 4.3 sophomore year, 4.4 junior year. 1 B in Spanish.
SAT: 2330(236 PSAT). Is a national merit semifinalist.
SAT 2s: 800 in math, and 780 in Biology
5s in Calc AB, Biology, and Comp Sci AB. This year taking AP Chem, AP Gov, AP Calc BC, and Physics Honors.</p>

<p>ECs are his weakness. He has about 150 hours of public service at a local hospital and membership in key club and premed club but no leadership. I think he was under the impression that extracurriculars didn’t matter because he came here from the U.K. in 8th grade and extracurriculars don’t matter there. Interested in medicine.</p>

<p>Most applicants have chances, those who demonstrate passion for something(s) have major chances…lol</p>

<p>Oh, you’re such a nice person, helping your African friend who is the “son of surgeons.” So I suppose he was made by surgeons? Any genetic engineering going on there?</p>
