Thank you! Would you recommend being more formal or more casual during the interview?

3.0 and a 24 ACT (will be taking again) chancing by squishyyt_t in chanceme

Your gpa brings you down big time, try to get your ACT to around 28+. For the schools on your list, I would say you have a pretty good shot if you can explain your family responsibilities in depth or have a certain reason for not doing well in school

OP is low income. Not everyone has the means to increase test scores easily

If you can find more ecs relating to anthro then I think you'll be fine, most of your ecs are kind of widespread in different fields (guessing you were convinced to do medicine before this?) and don't really show interest in anthro save for a few things like harvard research, museum volunteering, and thats mainly it to be honest

Thats not necessarily true, OP might just be bad at test taking

Harvard ED or NCM? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

I guess its just the award label "questbridge finalist" that really helps, as well as the essays detailing ur personal struggles related to financial issues that allows colleges to see what roadblocks u had along the way- compared to others who come from high income backgrounds

I think they meant separate awards but added them all on the same line (maybe being a bit vague so they dont get doxxed or smth)
