<p>I’m sorry if these annoy you, but looking at a couple have really scared me.</p>
<p>I’m a girl, i’m indian.<br>
GPA: 3.9 unweighted and 4.5 weighted
I’ve always taken honors classes, and my APs are:
AP US Govt, AP Bio, AP Environmental, AP Lang, AP Lit, AP Spanish Lang, AP Calc. I got 4 on govt and environmental, 5 of lang and bio.</p>
<p>I don’t have many extracurriculars, I’m in spanish honors society and have been part of bay club and am part of the international night comittee. But I have done internships at the NIH summer before junior year and last summer. The internship last summer, i am carrying over to this school year.</p>
<p>My SAT score is 2220, I will be taking the ACT, and have gotten 34s on the practice ones. </p>
<p>For SAT IIs I did Bio, and got 750, and will take Lang (which i am very good at) and maybe world history.</p>
<p>As with everybody, you definitely should apply. But with admissions so cut-throat, I hope that either you write a remarkable essay, or do something about your Extra-Curricular activities, which, pardon me, are a bit shallow. But even if you have just 1 EC and have devoted a LOT of time to it, it's fine! But, do apply! </p>
<p>The internship at NIH sounds interesting to me, especially since you carried it over and stayed with it.</p>
<p>"a remarkable essay" -- don't be limited by the idea of school extra curriculars. How DO you spend your non-studying time? I'm figuring that with your good grades and limited EC list, the time could be going somewhere else that could make a unique essay. Whether it's in family or community, express yourself authentically about what you do and have done outside of classes.
You might be overlooking something that you take for granted, that would be considered unusual here and contribute to a college community.</p>
