2

<p>Columbia SHP 12th grade
Ranked 2/135

<p>The only problem is that my writing is not that great. I am also a immigrant from india 9th grade which i want to emphasize in my essay with making it a cliche. I want to emphasize how i had a hard time getting used to the language and all and was still kind of successful in the end. Is there some topic you guys can help me with.
Do i even have a chance at those schools? I think my essay is the deciding factor and i really need help making it strong.
Any help will be great
thankss</p>

<p>You don’t have any real safeties. NYU might be a match. This list needs to be revised. All of them are mostly reaches and some matches but not very comfortable matches.</p>

<p>Northwestern HPME is very very selective, almost as selective as Yale or Harvard.</p>

4

<p>Are you male or female?</p>

<p>MIT, did you get any counselling before you applied to colleges? If you want to go to a college, any college, you should have some safeties. Blanketing the Ivies and reach schools and programs with applications is not going to get you in.</p>

<p>If you want 7-year or 8-year medical programs and want to become a doctor, have you looked at Penn State’s 7-year medical program, or TCNJ’s 7- (or 8?, I don’t know) medical program?</p>

<p>And what is your class rank/gpa, weighted as well as unweighted?</p>

6

<p>oh sorry… my safeties are RPI and StonyBrook</p>

<p>I recieved the gold medal for RPI</p>

<p>Achat: I know 7 year is hard to get into but i’m just going to give it a shot. </p>

<p>My rank is 2/135 GPA is 3.8 unweighted … my school grades harder comparatively.</p>

<p>Am i really that far behind others?</p>

7

<p>What gold medal? Did you get the Rensaellaer medal like someone else’s son here? Are you admitted already to RPI and Stony Brook?</p>

<p>Also, you haven’t answered the question about your gpa/class rank and male or female.</p>

<p>But seriously, if you want to become a doctor and want the 7year or 6-year joint programs, you should target some other schools as well such as Penn State.</p>

8

<p>No, then you aren’t far behind if your rank is 2nd in class. You could give these a shot.</p>

9

<p>U of Miami, too. You could get merit scholarship</p>

10

<p>Well, i guess now its too late
I’m an asian male
GPA: 3.8 unweighted</p>

<p>The RPI medal gives me $60,000 scholarship to their school.
I need help with essay though!</p>

<p>Aha…you can send me an email (through my profile). I can try…but remember, I’m not that experienced or anything, just trying to be helpful for what it’s worth. I’ll reply tomorrow morning.</p>
