<p>Hey all, I'm really tired of waiting for the decisions to start getting back from all my Early Decision/Admission colleges, so as I work on some more apps, I figure I might as well get chanced for a couple of my favorite schools. Some I know are quite a reach, but I figured, "Why the Hell not?" :P Here goes...</p>
<p>Sex: Male
Ethnicity: White/Asian (Japanese)
GPA: 3.83 UW (School doesn't weight)
ACT: 27 (Ouch, don't remember the subscores. I know I got a 35 on English, though. And the Reading... I fell asleep haha. It was also the morning after my parents told me they were getting a divorce, great timing guys. :/ But I just took it again and felt like I did a lot better, but we'll have to see.)
Class Rank: 12/360</p>
<p>APs/Honors:
Psychology: 4
US Government: 4
Composition: 5
US History: 4
Macroeconomics: 2 (Again, ouch! Just couldn't get the stuff for the life of me.)
Honors Earth Science, Biology, and English Freshman year (Only year Honors was offered)</p>
<p>I'm currently taking AP Stats, and even though I didn't take the class, am probably going to take the AP Literature test as well. I also took Japanese and Chinese classes after school at the local community college.</p>
<p>As for ECs, I've had the lead role in our high school musical for the last 3 years and the play for one year. I played Varsity Tennis my Sophomore year, and did Show Choir for two years, receiving State honors each time for multiple events. I also helped to co-found a chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions at my school, and am the current Vice-President. I also did Drama Club for a couple years and helped to get that program started as well. I spent the summer between Sophomore and Junior year in Washington, DC as a student delegate to the Congressional Youth Leadership Conference, which was a great experience. I did NHS my Junior year, but I ended up quitting and declining admission back to the program. I really hated it. I was given an award for community service excellence last Fall as well for my work with election efforts. I know there's a few I'm missing, but whatever.</p>
<p>Also, I feel like my essays were incredibly solid, and my counselor/teacher recs were really great, too. Now onto the schools...</p>
<p>Applied ED/EA:
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
Michigan State University - James Madison
Hillsdale University (MI)
Loyola University Chicago</p>
<p>Still Working/Thinking About:
University of Chicago
Northwestern University
University of Wisconsin - Madison
New York University
George Washington University</p>
<p>If you only wanna chance one, UMAA's by far the most important to me right now. Also, I've lived in Michigan all my life, so I guess that's a factor for UM and MSU. And if it helps at all, I've been in constant contact with U of M and Loyola, visiting both and attending a number of seminars, so I'm definitely on their radar. So, whaddya think?</p>
