Chance a quirky kid from Texas!

<p>Hello CC! First post, here it goes.</p>

<p>I'm a Hispanic male, of Colombian descent, entering his senior year.
-Little bit about me: I'm an outgoing, fun-loving/hardworking senior from the great state of Texas. My parents are both immigrants from Colombia. They are both doctors educated here in state universities. I am the only American-born in my family. I am a dual citizen of both Colombia and the US. I speak fluent Spanish, abet at home most of the time. My hope is to follow in both my parents' footsteps and pursue a medical career. My moderately populated high school sends only a handful to competitive schools, with students rarely traveling far from home. </p>

<p>GPA: 4.25 (W) 3.8 (UW)
Rank: 30 out of 650
SAT: 2060 (M:700/CR:670/W:690)
SATII: MathII:750 Bio:700 USH:800 Spanish(with Listening): 800
AP Scores: 4 4s (English Language, Spanish Language, US History, Human Geography)
Major: Biology or Biomedical Engineering</p>

<p>EC:
Volunteer at a local hospital for 2 years. 150+ hrs.
Volunteer Museum Guide at the Museum of Hispanic Culture for 1 year. 60 hrs.
Vice-President of the Class of 2010.
Member of Student Council (4yrs)
Secretary of Spanish Honor Society (2yrs)
Member of NHS
JV Tennis (3yrs)</p>

<p>Awards: (that I am sorely lacking)
AP Scholar with Distinction
(Perhaps Honor Roll? Need to check)</p>

<p>Course Load: AP where available, other than that mostly honors.</p>

<p>Essays/Recommendations:
Recommendations should be great. I've truly bonded with most of my teacher.
Essays I am assuming will be fine. However, I am currently suffering from writer's block on what to write about. (Perhaps some input here? There are some hardships I have in mind, and also my outgoing personality and quirky(!) nature)</p>

<p>Colleges of Interest:
Rice
Duke
Northwestern
John Hopkins
Georgetown
Cornell
Brown
Columbia
and HYPS (I'm guessing high reach)</p>
