<p>Hello! I would first like to thank you guys for taking the time to help me out and assessing my realistic chances of attending any of these colleges. </p>
<p>I'm currently a male junior in a very competitive los angeles public school with a humanities based curriculum. I have a 3.3 (not weighted) gpa and about a 3.5 weighted gpa (approx.). However, I actually failed my math analysis class this year. I know this is a big problem. I will be in my school's top 15%, and maybe the top 10%.</p>
<p>I have a 2020 on my SAT, and plan to take the ACT as well.</p>
<p>Hook: I'm a Mexican male. A lot of the schools I plan on applying to have very small minority populations, so this is a good.</p>
<p>My junior year schedule:
-AP Art History
-AP English Lang
-H US history
-H Spanish 3
-Math Analysis<br>
-Leadership
-Chemistry </p>
<p>My senior year schedule:
-AP Psychology
-AP Environmental Science
-AP Government
-AP English lit
-Marine Biology
-Leadership
-Math Analysis (retaking)</p>
<p>I also took AP Biology my sophomore year.</p>
<p>I'm interested in majoring in environmental studies, and then going to law school.</p>
<p>My extracurriculars:
-1)Involved in a secular Jewish community for 13 years, have been an employee for them since sophomore year. Was promoted to leadership position for this, and next year.
-2)Founder/President Amnesty International student group since sophomore year
-3)Young Democrats club since freshman year
-4)Currently participating in a very selective high school internship program sponsored bu the city of Los Angeles in which I am working with one of the top 5 environmental consulting companies in the world.
-5)Wrote for my school's newspaper my sophomore year. Was promoted to sports section editor for this year.
-6)Member of Jewish club since sophomore year
-7)Member of UCLA afterschool leadership program since sophomore year.
-8)Associated Student Body junior class representative. Will be the ASB executive president for my senior year (so I will represent the 3300 students in my school)
-9)Actively volunteer for school events (i.e. open house, freshman orientation, etc.)
-10)Volunteered approx 200 hours at an elementary school.
-11)Volunteered for Obama's phone banking organization
-12)Member of Jewish club since sophomore year.
-13)Member of my Magnet's leadership council since junior year
-14)Spanish Honors society since junior year
-15)Selected by my school to attend a leadership intensive camp during the summer before my junior year. Will be attending this year as well.
-16)Participating on a summer board which will help to inform citizens of Los Angeles about the new Genetically Processed Foods proposition on the ballet this year.
-17)Involved in various clubs, such as Vegetarian club, Environmental club, and Debate club.
-18)Member of my school's Penn Model Congress, which is a selective club that drafts bills/legislature, and then goes to UPenn to debate drafted bills.
-19)One of the three students chosen to represent the student body on the committee that delegates what my school's funding goes towards. (big deal)
-20)Also, I don't know if this counts, but I plan on running and completing the Los Angeles marathon this year (will be after I've applied to colleges, though)</p>
<p>So my grades are pretty iffy (1 failed class), my extracurriculars are great, and my SAT is pretty good. My letters of rec will be from my AP biology teacher (also on the foods board), my AP English Lang teacher, my Leadership teacher, my internship company (the top 5 in the world one), and the Jewish Sunday school that I work at. My essays will be well written.</p>
<p>I'm planning on applying Single Choice Early Action to Tulane, as it is by far my top choice.</p>
<p>These is my entire college list. What are my chances on some of the reaches?</p>
<p>1)Bates
2)Bowdoin
3)Bucknell
4)Colby
5)Colgate
6)Denison
7)Hamilton
8)Lewis and Clark
9)McGill
10)Middlebury
11)Tufts
12)Tulane</p>
