why would you want to base your confidence or chances of getting into a school on the opinions of people who don’t even know you? What if someone was to say that he has no chance in hell of getting in? It’s not our opinions that count, it’s the admissions peoples’. I don’t see anything wrong with asking questions such as, “what does NU or HPME look for in a student?”, but I do think it’s ridiculous to ask about chances because that’s so suggestive and well qualified students get turned down from competitive schools every year.

I think he has a decent chance at NU and at getting into HPME. I’m 100% certain that he’ll get an application after filling out the card (send it as soon as you can, like Aug or Sept). All that’s left are the essays and recs, etc. You really have to sell yourself creatively. Be honest and let them know why you wanna be a doc. I think half the battle is being memorable and having passion. Maybe i’m being idealistic, I dunno. Good Luck though! I’m rooting for you. =)
