Hi, incoming senior here, applied to COSMOS at UC Irvine, SSP, and Boston RISE on bio or biochem thinking that I would have a good shot at maybe COSMOS at least, but got rejected from all 3.
My stats arent bad: 4.3 GPA, 35 ACT, last summer interned at a biotech lab that has closed this year (rip), however I am an asian male trying to be a doctor (haha).
I'm also planning to apply to college as pre-med, and the original plan this year was to something more medical or research related, but that got shut down real fast.
Currently I'm thinking of getting like a basic minimum wage job at a fast food place, been writing cold emails to professors near me (so far 17 emails and no responses (( ), but honestly don't know what to do from there.
The Pre-College programs seems like just a big waste of money for not much in return in terms of competitiveness for college admissions. Most of the applications I'm pretty sure have closed by now, I just want to do something this summer that look at least okay to admission officers.
Anyone have some ideas?
much appreciated
