Hi guys! I'm new to this forum, but I've been lurking for the better part of a year now, so I thought I'd finally join. I recently applied to the Icahn FlexMed program (submitted Jan 15, 2016) and I was wondering if anyone would help with my chances/any feedback. I'd love to reciprocate as well!
College: Not Ivy League, but definitely a selective university
Year/Major: Sophomore/Math major, film studies minor
SAT: 2300 (780 W, 770 M, 750 CR)
HS GPA: It was out of a 100 for us, so 96.0 UW (I was also salutatorian, if that matters at all)
College GPA: 3.84 (I have taken two semesters of chem, one of orgo, bio, and physics, and am currently taking biochem and second semester of physics, so by the end of this semester, I just have one semester of bio left)
College EC's: Undergraduate researcher in computational chemistry lab, member of Film Series, Math Society, and BUILD India (focuses on global development), did SAT tutoring last year at a local high school
Other EC's: I am EMT certified (applying to be part of university's EMS club, will probably find out if I got in some time this semester), I have a film blog (unsure if this matters), I am a Neubauer Scholar at my college, National Merit (still relevant? idk), hospital volunteering, high school research exp.
In terms of "flexibility offered by FlexMed", I really focused on my research, since it's heavily math/computationally-based, as well as attending math-based study abroad programs, like Budapest Semesters in Mathematics. I also discussed my plans to get a film minor and how I could expand upon this (although this was not entirely my focus). I'm pretty confident my recs were fine, as well as my essays (esp the one about disappointment, since I had a pretty unique experience for that).
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I just realized I used like 10000 parentheses in this post, sorry haha.
