<p>Applying to Brown (ED), Dartmouth, Cornell, BU, Duke, U of Chicago, U of Miami, Virginia Tech, William and Mary, UMass-Amherst and GMU (safety), maybe Berkeley
Fell like the ivies might be a stretch because of ECs, but fell somewhat confident in grades and scores. I hope to get interviews at Brown and Dartmouth this summer.</p>
<p>Live in Fairfax, Va
White male
School is ~90th ranked by that one magazine</p>
<p>Rank: unsure, definitely top 10% out of 600-700, maybe around top 5%
GPA: 3.9U, several B's in Freshman year, 1-2 B+s in junior year. good grade progression
SAT I: 710 CR 770 M 740 W (might retake if I wish to)
SAT II: Math I 750 (I think) Chemistry 770
Major: Biochem, premed</p>
<p>Will have test scores for AP Statistics, AP US History, and IB Chemistry II SL after this year. Next year, I plan to complete IB Biology HL, IB Physics HL, IB English HL, AP Calculus AB, and AP US Government. Think I can expect high scores for the math/science tests, maybe a little lower for English/history. </p>
<p>No honors, unfortunately. School I went to for 9th-10th didn't offer any.</p>
<p>EC's... mine are very limited, I know. I went to school out of the country for four years and course selection, EC opportunities, internships were very limited. I plan to inform the colleges of this. Desperately trying to get as many as I can now and for next year but I still think they're fairly weak. Here they are:</p>
<p>FIRST Robotics, Head of CAD (2008- present)
Medical/Biology Club (2008- present)
Sophomore Class Treasurer (2007-2008)
JV Basketball (2006-2008)
JV Tennis (2007)
Varsity Outdoor Track and Field (2008)
Indoor Track and Field (2008- present)
Will take ACM math test</p>
<p>For this summer, I have a biology research internship for 10 weeks. I also will start volunteering at the local hospital throughout the summer and my senior year. I already have about 50-70 hours of community service from volunteering at the Air and Space Museum, homeless shelters, etc.</p>
<p>Honors:
Academic Honor Roll (2006-present)
National Honor Society (2008-present)
Mu Alpha Theta (2008- present)</p>
<p>Work experience:
Summer hire in 2007 at a US Army garrison
Might work at a local grocery store part-time my senior year</p>
<p>Could people chance me and give me suggestions on what to work on? I want to know if I should try to look more rounded and try to add more English/social studies ECs or try to focus mainly on sciences and math.</p>
