<p>I am currently a junior at a public competitive high school in nj. I am an indian (from india/ parents born there) female. Both my parents went to college and I am probably from a relatively high income bracket. I will probably be applying early decision to Barnard College in NYC next fall. Do you think I'm on the right track? Also, what other colleges do you think I could get into?
Academics:
-My school's gpa system is weird, they don't weight but a 95-100 is counted as a 4.5, 90-94 is a 4, 85-89 is a 3.5, etc. So, on that scale, my gpa is a 4.19/4.5, but it would be a 3.8 on a 4 scale
-I took the SATs already and got a 2180 (M:730, CR: 710, W:740). I've already done a lot of prep stuff so I'm not really expecting much improvement if I take it again, but I might take it again in the spring.
-SAT IIs so far:
US history-780
Math II-750
-I have a pretty heavy course load:
freshman year: Honors Bio, Honors Algebra II, Honors English, Honors World History (my school doesn't offer AP), Spanish 2 (my school doesn't offer honors)
sophomore year: Honors Chemistry, Honors Math Analysis, Honors English, APUSH I, Spanish 3
junior year: Honors Physics, AP Calculus AB, AP European History, APUSH II, AP English 3, Spanish 4
next year I will probably take: AP Statistics, either AP Bio or AP Physics, AP English 4, AP Spanish, maybe AP economics
-Honor Roll all years
Extracurriculars:
-I've been on the school fencing team since freshman year, I currently have my E-rating
-In my sophomore year one of my friends and I started a Model UN chapter at my school and I have been Co-President of it ever since, we will be attending the Model UN conference in NYC this spring
-I am currently president of JSA (sort of a debate club) and have been a member since freshman year. I have been to various conferences through that as well.
-I am a junior class representative to my school's Interact club (community service club)
-I am the Opinions Editor for my school's newspaper, Editor in Chief is only open to seniors (my teachers loves me and I'm the only junior on newspaper so I'll probably get that next year)
-I have published articles in a local online newspaper (I was also payed for these)
-I am a member of Spanish Club and Future Business Leaders of America
-I have submitted short stories to my county's teen arts festival for the past two years
-I currently have 352 volunteer hours (at local hospitals, summer camps, nursing homes)
-I was a local special olympics volunteer and have volunteered for local Habitat for Humanity projects
-One of my mom's old friends in India is a chairperson for this NGO (non-government funded charity organizations in India) that helps people with eye problems who can't afford treatment; she is an eye doctor, but over the summer I went to different villages with the organization to help with whatever I could and even ended up doing other things there such as teaching at under-funded schools
-I participated in Relay for Life outside of school and Pennies for Peace (organization started by Greg Mortenson) through school
-I am in the National Honors Society and National Spanish Honors Society and have tutored fellow students through them
