I will be applying to Nagoya for biological sciences this fall. I was also considering Tohoku's IMAC program, but I decided against it because of the late application dates. I actually think that Nagoya is the only one with early admissions, which is fortunate because Nagoya was my first pick.
Would anyone like to chance me for university? I know this is not the same as admissions in the US, but I would appreciate anyone's input.
GPA: 3.8 unweighted, weighted would be >4.0 ---my gpa is not as high as it could be because of my difficult course load
SAT: 2300 math:780 cr:750 writing: 770 (12 essay)--- actually my highest single score is 2290 but Nagoya asks for all scores---they don't ask for subject tests
ECs: I heard from a professor teaching at Tsukuba that ECs don't hold much importance; I will still add ECs to my app however
Work/Research: performed research at Drexel Plasma Institute

I am definetely forgetting a lot of items; however, I hear gpa and SAT are the most important.
