<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I am going to try this for the last time because responses have been slow lately. Anyway, here we go! I am an international IB student and i want to go into Pre Med. I am not sure about my major yet but i will figure that out soon enough. I am a South Asian Male who is a first generation immigrant to Canada. As for my Stats, I have straight As(80+ in Canada) in my Freshman and Sophmore years with approx. 3.8 GPA and then a 3.82 GPA. Upward Trend! </p>

<p>Rank: Top 5%. Around 3 or 4/100</p>

<p>SAT 1: 670 CR, 750 Math, 720 Writing (Total:2140) I am going to improve to 2200+ hopefully.</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests have not been taken yet. However, they should be 700-750 Range. </p>

-I have gotten many certificates for achieving top percentile in the Waterloo Math Contests. A Few medals here and there for Math Contests.
-Ranked 4th out of 1000 in our school at Ping Pong if that counts for anything. We have no Asians lol</p>

<p>The following are possible colleges i am going to. Please chance honesty. Let me know about my chances, what i need to improve etc.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins(ED)
Cornell
U of Chicago
U of Michigan
Emory
NYU
McGill
UW-Madison
Harvard(I have 65$ to spare)</p>

<p>Feel free to suggest some places. Chances are appreciated…no jokes! Thanks.</p>

<p>I am thinking JHU is your first choice because of ED? If so, i think you have a good shot. As for most of the other schools, you have a good shot too except Harvard. lol sorry.</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins(ED)- low reach
Cornell- low reach
U of Chicago- low reach
U of Michigan- low reach/ high match
Emory- high match
NYU- match
McGill- safety
UW-Madison- safety
Harvard-high reach. donate your 65$ to charity.</p>

<p>Overall, i think yu will get into some if not a lot of those schools. You may also want to look into University of Pittsburgh. It fits in with what you are looking at. Good luck.</p>

<p>If you write passionate, unique essays and have good recommendations, i cannot see what will hold you back from a lot of those on your list. </p>

<p>McGill is probably a safety because you are from Canada. Haha, Harvard is a big reach but then again, some people with your stats sometimes get in. Never say never!</p>

<p>Good Luck to you!</p>

<p>Thankyou guys for your chances and essays are definitely something i will work on. Hmm… U of Pittsburgh… thanks i will look into that. </p>

<p>McGill right now is my safety because it is fairly easy for Canadians to get in there. May be a different story for Canadians. Anyway, more chances are appreciated.</p>

<p>Bumper bump</p>

<p>What school/major are you applying to hopkins?</p>

<p>that is the thing… i am not sure about my majors but like it is not going to be BME for sure. so what do you think</p>
