I鈥檓 currently a Sophomore in HS hoping to major in medicine/dentistry.
I鈥檓 currently enrolled in my school鈥檚 Dental program (by selective acceptance) which are taught by two decently connected teachers. Though, they aren鈥檛 connected to schools like NYU but rather CUNYS.
My EC鈥檚 so far:
- Key club web manager (9th) Planning to run this year too.
- Summer internship (Geoscience based, conducted secondary research that created a non published poster and assisted in collecting data for official research.)
- Became my schools STEM ambassador (9th-graduation) where we basically teach elementary and middle schoolers about science and tech literacy.
- Track & Field JV
- STEM Saturday programs at a university for 4 weeks
- Performing in school concerts
I鈥檓 also planning to apply to NHS my junior year and debating on joining my schools Science Olympiad.
I believe my current GPA is a 3.8 (I鈥檓 still unsure how the GPA weighted and unweighted system works). I average about a 98%-99% every semester.
Only honors in 9th grade was Chemistry and Geometry but I鈥檓 talking full honors this year. Aps starting next year.
Coming from a 鈥渓ow鈥 income family.
If I can鈥檛 get into NYU, what other schools can I get into with my fields of interest?
wow that looks great just keep your grades up and right a great essay and you have a great shot. I know since I live in CO, that CU Denver is great for dental stuff but just do your research and determine what factors are the most important to you in a college like cost, program, environment whatever that may be just look into colleges based on that. Have on big list and then keep narrowing it down
