I'm sorry if this is in the wrong board. If it is, please move it to the "What are my chances?" forum.
This is just a hypothetical situation. The grade, the credentials, everything else is all real. Lets just pretend that this was the end of my junior year. Where do I stand?
Grades:
Chemistry Honors (Not AP or IB) - 91
Anatomy and Physiology - 95
IB Physics SL - 95
Health (required) - 99
IB English HL I - 90
IB History of the Americas HL I - 89
IB Psychology SL - 90
IB Math HL I - 93
Gym - 95
My total average is a 93, equivalent to a 3.72 GPA.
I only have my PSAT scores from my Sophomore year, and only practice ACT scores to go by. My highest practice ACT was a 29, and my PSAT was a 210.
-PSAT 210
-ACT 29
Extra Circulars:
-Hospital Volunteering 250+ hours (did it since the 9th grade)
-Physician Shadowing (Anesthesiologist) - 100+ hours (The doctor is awesome for letting me shadow him this long so far)
-Martial Arts for 7 years. Currently hold the Junior Black Belt Rank
-Piano for 14 years
-Played at the nursing home every month for 2 hours last year.
-Played at charity recitals that my school district has held for the past 10 years. So yes, even when I could only play "Yankee Doodle", I played in it.
-Piano Guild Participant for the last 5 years. Am currently on the 5 year national roll
-NYSSMA participant for the last 5 years. Every year had a grade of "Outstanding".
-By the time I am a senior, I will be preparing, selling tickets for, and performing in my own piano concert. It will be 4 hours long. >_>
School "Clubs":
-Student of the Month
-National Junior Honor Society (junior high)
-National Honor Society
-Track and Field (Junior High)
-Concert Chorale for the past 3 years
-Youth Group
"Will Be" Letters of Reccomendation:
-Chemistry Teacher
-Anatomy Teacher
-Guidance Counselor
-Martial Arts instructor
-Music Teacher
-Anesthesiologist I shadowed
-Hospital Volunteer Coordinator
These are all of the people who said they would write me one should I ever request it one day. I'm thinking about waiting until December to ask so they can have all the time they need *until June that is*.

1) Union College with Albany Medical College (8 years)
2) George Washington University with George Washington School of Medicine (7-8 years?)
