Hey guys, let’s use this thread as discussion for Duke Fall 2024 transfer admissions. First matter of discussion, chance me if you can. I am a freshman at Rhodes College majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology on the premed track hoping to transfer to another school. I applied to Duke, Vandy, Northwestern, Rice, Penn, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Hopkins, Emory, and I have already gotten into UNC and Tulane.

Stats:
1570 on SAT- 800 math, 770 English
35.25 composite ACT- 35 science, English, reading and 36 math.
3.98 College freshman GPA
Doubled up on science first semester and tripled up including orgo this semester
Finished with All As midterm report this semester

Area of study:
Applying as Biochem Major focusing on Immunology and talked about why in essays

Applying as Classics minor in which I heaviity participated in in high school and I related this to medicine in my essays

Also want to study charity entrepreneurship and related it to the health non profit i started this year

Premed hoping to apply to MD/PhD programs

ECS:
Started Health-related non profit last semester which international aims
Research at Top Celiac Disease Lab in world (I have celiac Disease and brought it up in my essays)
Volunteer at St Jude (top children’s hospital in world)
Week of Shadowing at Vandy Celiac Disease Clinic
one of two undergraduates on National Pakistani APPNA Youth Board
Published Science Writing Article about a cure to Celiac
Work as a Tutor
Started another Non profit on helping autistic kids get more awareness

All ECS above were done while in my freshman year of college which is what I am still in right now. Not going to list high school ECS, but assume an equal level of intensity and depth. Alot of them are about Classics and LAtin, and science, and leadership.

Finally, put many many hours into my essays and put by far the most effort into the Duke essays. Did the Glimpse video for every college. Also, have been putting extra effort by making sure to email my duke admissions counselor and have talked to her a good amount over email. Please chance me.
