<p>Hi, I was wondering what people thought of my chances of getting into some really good schools. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)
Rank: 1/400(+ or - 50))
PSAT: 227 (80 Critical Reading, 76 Math, one stupid question, 71 Writing)
APs: (sophomore only)
Biology- 5 (no idea how that happened, my teacher was horrible)
Calc AB- 5 (that one I did really well on)
Extra Curriculars
Boy Scouts:
I'll be Eagle Scout by the end of this year.
I'll be the senior leader in my troop by the end of the year as well.
Order of the Arrow (scouting's honor society)
Active as well
Chapter Treasurer (10)
Chapter President (11, hopefully, I have a good shot)
Band:
Jazz Band (trombone)- second chair(9, 10) should be first chair this year
Concert Band- First chair all years, will continue
State Solo and ensemble competition(10)- gold ratings in solo and ensemble
Marching Band
Quiz Bowl (JV- 9 and 10, V this year)
Soccer: (JV-10, I don't have time to do it again this year)</p>
<p>I don't have a lot of ec's, but I spend a lot of time with the ones that I do.</p>
<p>Awards:
AMC 12 School Winner (10)
Participant in AIME (I got like a 3, had never seen that type of questions before the test)
Other little awards</p>
<p>My Schedule for Next Year (IB Diploma):
00 Jazz Band
01 Concert Band
02 Biology HL
03 English HL
04 History of the Americas HL
05 French HL
06 Math (Calculus BC at IUSB 1st sememster, either linear algebra or multivariable calculus after that)</p>
<p>I hope to begin the Honors Mathematics Course Sequence (using the same textbook as CalTech) at Notre Dame next year (I was invited to begin this year, but my schedule would not fit around it).</p>
<p>Distance Learning (CTD Learning Links): AP Physics C, maybe AP Chemistry, if I have the time</p>
<p>Science Research: Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (a student a grade ahead of me got a third award in the Intel International Science Fair for a more extensive version of my research)
Oh yeah, I'm white and not underprivlaged (both of my parents teach at Notre Dame).</p>
<p>Should I volunteer more (I was thinking of starting a Math Club and offering tutoring)?
Is there anything else I should do?</p>
<p>Schools:
MIT (EA)
Cal Tech
Harvey Mudd
Princeton
Brown
Northwestern
Notre Dame</p>
<p>any other good ones people could suggest?
Thanks a lot.</p>
