<p>Hi! This is my first post on this site...I'm curious about my chances of getting into my absolute dream school, which is Oberlin College. Also, I'd be interested in knowing how my stats might look to colleges like Middlebury, Muhlenberg, Vassar, and Bucknell.</p>
<p>Like I said, this is my first time posting...so my stats may not include everything I need to have yet--tell me if there's anything else to know!</p>
<p>GPA: My cumulative GPA (so far) is a 3.7. My school does weird things with the weighting, so for some odd reason, my UW average is the same as my weighted one. My freshman and sophomore averages were both around an 88/100, but my first semester average for junior year was a 96 (which I think is like a 4.1?) and I'm on track to keep it that way. I've taken all honors classes, and I've also taken AP Language and Composition, AP Global (and got a very disappointing 4 on the exam), and AP US. Next year, I'm planning to take AP Spanish & AP Lit. I've also taken Psychology and Contemporary Moral Issues at a college very near my high school.</p>
<p>My school doesn't do class rankings--we have 100 kids in our graduating class, but you have to take a very competitive exam to get in, and it's in the top twenty of US Business News and World Report's rankings. I've made Principal's Honor Roll (which is the highest achievement, it's for having a 95+ marking period average) four times, the High Honor Roll (90-95) once, and Honor Roll (85-90) every other time. </p>
<p>Testing: I'm taking the ACT for the first time in April, but I'm projecting getting something around a 30-32.
I took the Global SAT II, but I did horribly...I may take the US History one if I feel brave enough!</p>
<p>Extracurrics/Misc.:
I've been singing in a word-renowned children's choir since I was twelve. I've performed at Carnegie Hall upwards of six times, Avery Fischer Hall, Jazz @ Lincoln Center, Symphony Hall in Chicago, and many other places. I've competed in a professional choir competition in Llangollen, Wales (we came in fourth out of twenty choirs for our division--not bad!). I literally cannot describe how many hours I've spent rehearsing, so I feel like it shows commitment. </p>
<p>Also, I'm working on getting some of my poetry published. </p>
<p>Member of my school's Environmental Club (Secretary) for two years, member and Vice-President of my school's Glee Club (VP for one year, member for two), member of Drama Club for 1.5 years. </p>
<p>I had a two week internship with an environmental organization in my hometown the summer before my sophomore year, and I plan to intern this summer for a legal agency. I'm lacking in internships/volunteering--I volunteer a bit at my synagogue, but it's so informal that I never actually logged the time. </p>
<p>I also have worked as a camp counselor for two weeks for the last three summers.</p>
<p>That was a lot to write! It seems much less impressive when I'm being brutally honest about it as well...thanks in advance for reading/any advice you may have!</p>
