<p>college ad coms want to see that you have a fully developed passion. it looks like your best bet would be the med stuff. perhaps go to the local elementary school and teach kids about basic bio stuff or anatomy. put in more hours, register others to volunteer. make it very clear what you care about and how you spend your time.</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot at JHU and UCB…are you applying for aid?</p>

<p>McGill doesn’t care aboot [sic] ECs, and based on your scores I think that you’d have a great chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Good shots basically everywhere. Don’t believe the hype - you don’t need to win national awards to get into top colleges (it makes it harder, though). Your scores can put you through at a lot of schools.</p>
