<p>Hello fellow CCers. I am a rising junior and am new to College Confidential (this is my first post). I was wondering how I stand against the competition. I have spent a considerable amount of time reading other threads and realize that I am average at best but decided to make my own anyways. Here are my stats (will update next year as I am a rising junior). Most of these are projected (I have been completely honest).</p>
<p>SAT I (breakdown): I am taking it in October but have been rigorously preparing for about 8 months; my last practice test was a 2390 so lets assume a score of 2350.</p>
<p>ACT: Not taking it</p>
<p>SAT II: 800 Chem, taking Math II, Physics, and maybe English this year. (most likely 800s; I am an adroit standardized test taker) </p>
<p>Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): projected 3.7-3.75 (9-11), 3.9 (10-11; for Princeton and Stanford)</p>
<p>Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): School does not rank, top 5% though</p>
<p>AP (place score in parenthesis):Physics B (5), Chemistry (5)</p>
<p>Junior Year Course Load: Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra, AP English, AP Euro, AP Physics C (taking AP Psych and AP Calc BC tests for National AP Scholar)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):9th-freshman volleyball team, MUN 10th- JSA (won best speaker award in Washington), law club, chemistry olympics (team placed 2nd in NJ) (basically nothing), 11th (projected)- JSA, law club, science league, science olympiad</p>
<p>Job/Work Experience: none</p>
<p>Volunteer/Community service: camp counseling, tutoring, maybe something else small this year</p>
<p>Summer Activities:9th-chem I over the summer so I could take AP chem, 10th- AP calc AB with john hopkins online so I could take multivariable calc</p>
<p>State (if domestic applicant):NJ</p>
<p>School Type: Public</p>
<p>Ethnicity: South Asian (Indian)</p>
<p>Gender: Male</p>
<p>Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.):none</p>
<p>Strengths:Scores</p>
<p>Weaknesses:ECs and 9-11 gpa</p>
<p>I know I essentially have no ECs. As a result, I am going to enter the physics olympiad this year to try to obtain a hook that way (very good at physics and taking AP physics C next year; hopefully can at least make semis but I know its not a hook without being a finalist/ipho participant). Also, going to try to do well in science olympiad or science league to try to get some state recognition or something. Furthermore, I am contemplating applying to Wharton ED. Would the fact that my father's company was listed in Forbes Magazine (sometime in 2001-2004, cannot recall at the moment) as one of the top 50 fastest growing companies in America (like around 46 I believe) count towards my Wharton application? He was CEO and founder (probably a good essay topic but not worth anything right?). Thanks in advance; I really appreciate it.</p>
