Hi--I'm a senior in high school getting ready for college. I've been rejected by the Ivies I've applied to so far (Cornell, Yale, Harvard). It's just that for my dream--which is to become a dermatologist, these schools have top notch medical schools. It's just a dream, but I really want to get into one of these schools. I don't know what I don't have that my friends do. I'm half Japanese and half white, and I speak Japanese fluently. I got a solid 1800 on the new SAT and okay scores on the SAT II's (600's and a 750 on the Japanese) and a 27 Composite on the ACT. I've taken 5 AP's and gotten 4's on two of them (3 I have to take in May this year) and my GPA is a 3.8. Extracirriculars: Literary Magazine, Newspaper articles, Japanese tutoring, volunteering at a hospital, and a job in sophomore year. Do you think there is something I should work on so that I can successfully transfer into these schools later on in college? Thank
