<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>
<p>hey man apply to brown anyways–i’m in the same boat as you are, i think…how long did ur nih thing last, btw?</p>
<p>it lasted 5 weeks and i think 2 days</p>
<p>what is this NIH thing. please explain i want to know??</p>
<p>its an internship program in DC…its basically lab work but its really in depth…i talk about my experience a few posts up i believe…its also government work so u feel really cool haha…its really tough to get into (basically…u need connections)</p>
