<p>you have decent sat i, killer math, good writing, nyeh chem (i have 720 writing, but >750 on the other, two, as you do, so don't sweat). ur nih is a strength!!! hospital volunteering is a bit low, but u can compensate it with nih experience. the only flaw i see is a "lack of leadership" in clubs (altho u got the leadership award in "class cabinet"). did u hold office in nhs, baseball, or science club? w/e, write good essays and get good recs and i'd say you have a great shot. lol, i have mixed feelings about nylf--upon receiving my invitation, i thought it was either a scam (i got sooo many other things that i couldn't take any of them that seriously) or a rich-kid camp (i don't want to identify with that crew). u have good grades too (4.0 unweighted--man...), so don't worry about the conversion champ lol...good luck!</p>

<p>i regret not trying for offices in nhs...as for science league there is no leadership position (i got second place if that means anything)...baseball was just intramural and i was considered a "co-captain"..hopefully leadership in class cabinet and spanish club will help me out</p>

<p>nylf was OK...definitely not a rich-kid camp...completely opposite people. It was either do that or nothing my sophomore-year summer...i learned how to stitch, i "shadowed" a doctor, and saw a surgery which was pretty cool</p>

<p>i was actually satisfied with my chem sat II..i thought i did terrrriiibllee. i was considering retaking the sats but i opted not to...i doubt it would have improved too much</p>

<p>nih was really good...i did research on how using drugs against malaria actually increases ur chances of getting other diseases...really good stuff</p>

<p>i doubt i'm brown plme material...what do u think?...and i probably aiming for bu, gw, or rpi..what r ur thoughts on those...thanks a lot</p>
