of getting in? I am a Junior in High school and I do quite well in a very tough High School by the end of my Senior year I hope to have around a 3.75 or 3.8 unweighted GPA(my school doesnt raise GPA if you take APs). I hope to have taken around 9 or 10 APS getting 4s or 5s on all, around a 32 ACT score, and taken 3 SAT subject tests scoring in the 700s. I also plan on having a Summer internship in a medical bio engineering lab.
I would say I am a very hard worker and a good essay writer, I put this stuff in the question to show I am not just trying to bum my way into top universities but that I feel that I belong in them and can do well in them. My father attended Northwestern University in Chicago for undergrad and Columbia in New York for med school. Will these two colleges be more likely to accept me since my father attened them and I can get atleast 1 letter of reccomendation for Northwestern from a former Northwestern grad?
