Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Indian Male from Long Island, NY</p>

<p>GPA- 96 or 97 weighted, 95ish unweighted (my school does not do it on a 4 point scale)
Upward trend every year-freshman= 93, sophomore= 95, junior= 99 W</p>

<p>Class Rigor- For my freshman year and half of my sophomore year, I was in Pennsylvania and took Gifted classes(under honors but higher than regular, and unweighted), however these show up as regular level classes on my transcript from my current school. My junior year I took 2 college and 2 honors classes. This year I'm taking 4 AP classes and 1 college, and do not have any free periods(the same for junior year)</p>

<p>Class Rank- Exact unknown right now, almost positive top 10%, probably around top 6%, 400 students total</p>

<p>SAT(took only once, March)
Composite- 2060
CR- 640
Math- 690
Writing- 730</p>

<p>ACT- Took in September, awaiting results, most likely 30-31ish</p>

<p>SAT II's- Will take Math I and Chemistry in November</p>

<p>AP's this year- Biology, Gov & Politics, Micro, & Psych</p>

<p>EC's-
*Volunteer at local temple- 250 hours (9-12)
*Volunteer at local hospital- 100 hours (11,12)
*Co-founded religious youth group- help organize events such as food drives, tutor children, etc. (11,12)
*Created a short film/documentary on Sikhs in America, sent it in to an international film festival, and I am waiting for the results...fingers crossed :)

*Annual Literature Competition at temple (10,11)- first prize 10th, third prize 11th
*Counselor at Summer camp for Sikh Youth (11)
*National Honors Society (11,12)- only for juniors and seniors</p>

<p>Awards-
*Principal's List every quarter throughout high school
A few small time awards here and there, nothing big</p>

<p>Common App Essay- my experience being a Sikh and being a religious and visual minority(I have a turban and beard) in the US and how it has affected who I am as a person</p>

<p>Intended Major- Astronomy(i've been interested in this for a long time, unfortunately I don't have the EC's to show it, so should I apply undecided?)
Also, what schools with good astronomy programs would be a good fit for me? I would like to stay in the Northeast or Mid-atlantic regions</p>

<p>Colleges I'm looking at:
Vassar ED I
Cornell
BU
Columbia
Harvard(I know...)
Haverford
JHU
SUNY Stony Brook
Swarthmore
UPenn</p>

<p>your SAT scores are not as high as they could be for the ivy league schools, but for the others they should be fine. As for your EC’s, they’re fantastic and they are definitely good and will turn some heads. You have a good chance, especially being ED with Vassar. Your essays are going to be crucial to seal the deal, as will recs. I wish you the best of luck!</p>

<p>Stonybrook- in (safety)
Bu- low match
Cornell- low reach due to scores and easiness of course load (hopefully colleges wont think that you took the easy way out
Penn harvard and Columbia I don’t think you have a big shot but hey you have nothing to lose by applying! Continue about others sorry</p>
