<p>Hey everyone, another junior posting (a junior who’s been lurking around the Brown board for months now :)) I’m posting because I want to know how I’m gonna compete with my stats, mostly my ECs.</p>
<p>By the end of my junior year, I’ll probably have an average GPA, 4.20 (W) and 3.88 (UW) (I had a bad freshman year). My SATs (the new one) will probably be okay - good, but I think my ECs make me stand out.</p>
<p>By the beginning of my senior year, I’ll have done the following things:</p>
<p>2 straight summers of interning at the Breakthrough collaborative. Basically BC, is where you become a teacher for 8 weeks, and teach a course to middle school students. Although BT is a large internship, its mostly for college students, with probably only 50 (out of 300) interns being HS students. Last summer I taught physics, this summer will probably be bio.</p>
<p>I helped start a tutoring company called Results Tutoring Group. This is pretty straightforward (in addition to being VP, I’m also a tutor, tutoring 5 hrs/wk).</p>
<p>I’m currently starting a branch of RTG called Results Music Group, where several high school students provide music lessons for junior high/elementary school students.</p>
<p>I’ve started a few clubs at my gigantimous high school. National History Club, and next year I’m going to start a branch of UNICEF at my HS (been researching all this year)</p>
<p>And finally, I’ve done some scientific research dealing with UVB/UVC rays and white blood cells. I’ve won a couple awards for this. </p>
<p>So whats your input? Do you think these things will help me in the app race? Heh, Ive had my eyes set on Brown since my soph. year.</p>
