<p>yes ok......... i know im not that impressive resumewise but I need to satisfy my concerns and extinguish this anxiety of mine (temporarily)..........</p>

<p>-SAT: 730 verbal, 540 math
-cofounder and VP of language club
-active (as opposed to inactive) member of school honor society (CSF:California Scholarship Federation) since 9th grade
-GPA: 3.86 (if someone could explain the "weighted/unweighted" concept to me please...)
-I was in EAOP (early academic outreach program) for University of California until it was shut down due to budget cuts
-I'm in my school's service organization
-I'm in a community college choir
-I volunteer at my local library every saturday
-both of my parents dropped out of college (that can be good or bad)
-I take 7th period psychology, and over the summer i took two community college classes
-I'm gonna take my SAT II's very soon...... (i'll update my stats with them)
-I also have a learning disability (Nonverbal Learning Disorder or NLD) which seriously impairs my mathmatical/logical/spatial crap but somehow propels my verbal and rote memory skills (this can explain my scores for the SAT, in which I had no testing accomodations[i'm not complaining; I didn't ask for any])
-yes I'vnt entered any competitions, but I would like to know if there are any essay-writing or literature/history competitions available</p>

<p>Thank you for giving me a chance to vent my anxieties for better or worse......</p>

<p>PS: Do the colleges that send you mail after the PSAT actually see your scores if you specify that the information can be made public???</p>

<p>I think you may have a chance at UCLA or Cal. Pomona likes high math scores, sorry, and you're way out of range for Dartmouth and Stanford.</p>

<p>A good essay contest is the Ayn Rand Essay... Google it. There's also the Shakespeare Fellowship essay. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. </p>

<p>No, the schools don't see your scores. They just get a mailing list of people whose scores fall into a certain range.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>hmmmm........ i was expecting these responses........ </p>

<p>all i really want is a good UC to go to so I can do well there and get into a great grad school, where it really counts...... </p>

<p>my prime example here is my brother's friend at UCSB, who went on to get an MBA at Yale......... and a great job</p>

<p>so, if i at least have a chance at getting into Cal Berk or UCLA (or maybe even UCI) than i'm reasonably cool</p>

<p>If anyone has any comments, do please post them..............</p>
