<p>Helllllllo! Please tell me what you think...desperately waiting to find out where I'm going to end up...</p>

<p>Asian permanent resident</p>

<p>GPA: 3.821, 4.316
Rank: 8 of 60
SAT I: CR680, M750, W650, Combined 2080 (ACT's more important...)
SAT II: Chem 740, Math II 780, Biology Molecular 780
ACT: 33 (English 31, Math 36, Reading 29, Science 34, Essay 9)
Intended Major: Biomedical Engineering/Civil Engineering/Material Science
AP: school offers none.</p>

<p>Course load (the hardest in class, I know everybody's courses because its such a small school):
Senior semester 1:
History of the United States I,
Western Humanities I,
Calculus w/Analytic Geometry II,
Studies in Applied
Ethics,
Physics I,
and Physics Laboratory I.
Senior semester 2:
Calculus w/Analytic Geometry III (I THINK it's either the one above BC, or the latter part of it, I really don't know),
Differential Equations,
Physics II,
Physics Laboratory II,
American National Government,
World Religions,
Intro to Speech Communications,
Basic Computer & Info Literacy,
Life Management,
Fitness Lifestyle Design,
and Personal Fitness.</p>

<p>EC: School was small and did not offer anything besides those I participated in and an Ethics Bowl Team.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (11-12, Champion and 3rd place in NAGA International Florida 2008),
Science Bowl (12, 4th place state, first year available),
SGA (12, President),
Saxophone (9-12, many county level awards, 1st chair all county),
Also NHS (10-12, nothing major here)
Rotary Exchange student right now in Germany, speaks English, German, and Chinese fluently.</p>

<p>And my HS offers no AP, it's one of those schools where all the students take classes from a local college for their 11 and 12 so they graduate with a Diploma and an AA.</p>

<p>Please chance for...
Columbia,
UPenn,
Dartmouth,
Vanderbilt,
Lehigh,
Northwestern,
University of Michigan Ann Arbor,
Duke</p>

<p>lobster, thanks! </p>

<p>I think I should’ve mentioned a couple more things tho…I’ve already graduated, these stats are as final as final can be. And all my classes in the last 2 years are in a local college, which means there are no APs, and no honors, only dual enrollment courses…which I guess has its ups and downs.</p>

<p>It looks like you’re taking a really rigorous course load, and your SATII scores reflect that as well. I think you’ll be admitted to at at least half of the schools to which you’ve applied, but that’s just my random guess:) Good luck!!!</p>

5

<p>There is no Calculus above BC, other than Multi-variable, so that’s probably the latter half. </p>

<p>Thing is - your school may or may not put you at disadvantage for not offering APs or a variety of EC’s. However, your grades and ACT scores are great, which might be enough to counteract that.</p>

Dartmouth - Low Reach

<p>Thanks xrCalico and livelovelaugh (btw I LOVE your username, its so happy, haha)!</p>

<p>Yeah its multivariable calculus, I’m not familiar with the AP classes so I wasn’t sure if BC included it. I hope it won’t be such a problem with the ECs and APs, but I’ll find out soon…its a nerv wreaking 2 weeks…</p>

7

<p>Isn’t multvariable more advanced than Calc BC? I think people usually get to take multivariable after they graduate from BC.</p>

<p>Not having AP classes is not a problem if they are not offered at your school.</p>

<p>Anyway, good luck=)</p>
