<p>I am going to be a senior and am interested in studying chemistry in college while pursuing a career in medicine.
Here are some of my credentials:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.86
Weighted GPA: 4.77
I have taken the ACT three times and received 3 32s. I have not had time to review yet, so I plan on taking it again in September because I am shooting for a 33 or 34.
Class rank - 2/285
I go to a top tier private school, best in the area.<br>
Income: Above 250k </p>
<p>I am a 4 year member of the varsity golf team. I am being recruited by a few DI but mostly DII and DIII schools all over the country. Won a state championship this past season. I am also on the bass fishing team (actually a varsity sport.. who knew?) and we qualified for state this past season as well.</p>
<p>I am a member of Natural Helpers, National Honors Society, and Student Council. (4 years- President this year)
I am a member of the Mayor's Youth Council, a board of limited students chosen by the mayor who go into the community on a weekly basis and help poverty stricken families. Very, very eye opening experience.
I have volunteered weekly for 4 years now in a program that helps disabled children play sports.
There are other community activities I've participated in and awards I've received, not as notable though. (ex. won ribbons at county fair, excellence achievement in select classes, all-area sports recognition, etc.)</p>
<p>I have received straight A's (1 A-) and have been on the highest honor roll my past two years. My GPA is not higher because my freshmen year grades were pretty horrendous (3.1 UW GPA). I am taking the most rigorous schedule my high school has to offer, and by the time I graduate will have taken 9 AP classes. I have never taken anything lower than an honors class.</p>
<p>AP Classes so far: AP US History (5), AP Microeconomics (5), AP Macroeconomics (5)
AP Classes next year: Language and Composition, Physics, Chemistry, Calculus, Psychology, Government </p>
<p>For the past month I have been at Northwestern University taking 2 college chemistry classes. I was the only non-Northwestern student in the class. I received an A in both classes. This will go on my transcript because they are credit as well.</p>
<p>I will have letters of recommendation from the mayor of my city (150k population) as well as one of the most renown chemistry professors in the country.</p>
<p>I have a few schools on my mind, such as Northwestern, Notre Dame, Duke and University of Illinois as a safety. (what do you think?) My dream school is Notre Dame but I am not sure if I have the credentials. Any other schools you think I'd fit in?</p>
<p>Since this was very long and painful to read, I will definitely chance back everyone.</p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
