<p>Essay

  • i believe that this essay will be able to strongly cover my freshman and sophomore year grades.</p>

<p>Recommendations

  • my math teacher, saludictorian at bates, pretty much garunteed me he would write the best essay possible for me, because of our good standings. ( he can pretty mcuh write “this guy is a genius”). my guidence counsellor also holds a similar view.</p>

<p>other HOOKS?
-brother is autistic
-parents are divorced

  • large family (5 children).</p>

<p>im looking for great pre-med programs, although i may major in mathematics.</p>

<p>northeastern is my safety school, so im looking for matches all the way to reaches. Please help</p>

<p>[PARADE's</a> College AList PreMed | Parade.com](<a href=“http://www.parade.com/news/2010/08/22-college-a-list-pre-med.html]PARADE’s”>http://www.parade.com/news/2010/08/22-college-a-list-pre-med.html) is a list of some top premed programs. As for premed I would recommend applying to a Liberal Arts college, maybe something prestigious such as Davidson.</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>im applying to davidson, bowdoin, vanderbilt, and JHU on that list. but are there any other good ones? (U Alabama would give me a free ride as a NMSF but i dont think that their pre-med is as good as some other colleges i could get into)</p>

<p>Rice University is a definite for future medical personnel, its location in Houston which has the greatest array of hospitals and research? I personally would choose Rice over Vanderbilt</p>

<p>ill look into rice…thank you :)!</p>

<p>also applying to emory. possibly ponoma (probably wouldnt get in?)</p>
