Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi to all,</p>

<p>Background: I'm a junior at a top Illinois public school. I skipped the second and third grades but went back a grade for athletics when I transferred to a public middle school. My ADHD really affected my freshman and sophomore years as it went untreated, but with medication I've really been able to buckle down and get some decent work done.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic</p>

<p>GPA: (W on 5.00 scale, since classes were all honors/AP)
Freshman--3.80 (My freshman year was completely mediocre--see above--with a 3.80/5.00 while in all honors classes. I think that was mostly due to the ADHD, an elongated acclimation period and my immaturity compared to my peers.)
Sophomore--3.70
Junior--4.20 (first sem, if finals go well could be 4.40 or 4.60)</p>

<p>Class Rank: somewhere in the top 10 or 11%</p>

<p>AP's: Junior--AP English Lang/Comp , APUSH
Senior--AP English Lit, AP US Gov't, AP Comp Gov't, AP Econ, AP Bio, AP Comp Sci, AP Calc AB</p>

<p>EC's:
-two year class council member
-<strong><em>baseball soph/jun--getting recruited by Ivies, smaller D1 schools, multiple D3 schools</em></strong>
-<strong><em>club/travel baseball every summer</em></strong>
-swimming frosh
-1st chair alto sax in wind symphony frosh/soph

-<strong><em>writer for extremely popular teen/college hip-hop blog jun</em></strong>
-<strong><em>organized large-scale, charitable hip-hop concert (coming to Chicago this summer!)</em></strong></p>

<p>Honors:
-National Honor Society jun
-Foreign Language Honors jun
-English Honors jun
-Science Honors jun</p>

<p>Schools: Yale (baseball recruit), Harvard (baseball recruit), Princeton (baseball recruit), Washington & Lee (baseball recruit)</p>

<p>If I don't play baseball: UIllinois engineering (legacy), SMU, Northwestern (probably ED), Notre Dame (huge legacy, my family's donated $$$$$ for whatever reason), Miami University (Ohio), Wisconsin, Indiana, Vanderbilt (may ED), Wake Forest, Boston College, Boston U, Tufts</p>

<p>Standardized Tests:
-AP Comp--36 (36 R, E, S; 34 M)
-SAT--not taken yet, hopefully somewhere above 2350
-PSAT--223
-SAT II: not taken yet</p>

-Baseball coach</p>

<p>Thanks, everybody!</p>

<p>thanks, yooo. i’ll hit you up.
bumpsky?</p>

<p>got to love a fellow bro</p>

<p>I’d say you’re doing well, but that senior year schedule is plain impossible.</p>

7

<p>foozball, fashoo, let’s bring some more broseidons here</p>

<p>peggz, why? ab’s pretty easy, econ’s easy, i’ve got a 96 in ap english lang right now, and gov’t’s easy. it shouldn’t be that bad, i’m not taking BC or physics</p>

8

<p>A Hispanic with a 36 has an extremely good chance anywhere. Being recruited in baseball, you should be a lock, or close to it.</p>

9

<p>Don’t bother with the SAT I; your ACT will get you into your top schools.</p>

10

<p>which would look better, though? a 36 or a 2370-400? i took the sat in 8th grade and got a 2210, and i thought it was absolutely impossibleeee. i got a 34 on my act without knowing any trig or pre-calc and considered it 10000x easier, so i feel like admissions counselors might feel the same way</p>

11

<p>The ACT. It’s a perfect score and adcoms don’t prefer one over the other.</p>
