<p>Please, chance away...I'm currently a junior and would like to know any improvements I can make while I still have the time.</p>
<p>Schools: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Michigan, Northwestern, Stanford</p>
<p>GPA: 4.08 (unweighted)...not entirely sure about weighted, probably 5.08? (never gotten anything less than an A)</p>
<p>Rank: Roughly 13 out of 400 some (this is, again, unweighted), roughly top 2%</p>
<p>Core Classes (just the basics): Freshman--World History (standard class, no honors available), Honors Geometry, Honors English, Honors Science, French II</p>
<p>Soph--AP US History (5 on AP Test), AP Bio (5 on the AP Test), Honors English, Honors Advanced Algebra, French III</p>
<p>Junior--AP Language and Composition, AP Chemistry, AP Gov, Honors Precalculus, French IV
(I'm hoping to be in the 4/5 score range for these AP Classes)</p>
<p>and I plan on taking four APs senior year as well</p>
<p>Last ACT Test (I haven't taken it for real yet): 33 composite </p>
<p>Teacher Recommendations: I feel pretty strong in this area, so just assuming I get glowing recommendations :)</p>
<p>Essay: Again, I love writing so presuming I have a strong essay </p>
<p>Extracurriculars:</p>
<p>After freshman year, I interned at a local newspaper and, while it was mostly busywork, I did have the chance to write solo articles</p>
<p>After soph year: I interned at the Ann Arbor Chronicle, which was a truly amazing experience--I was given much appreciated freedom and it was somewhat time consuming (at least 15-20 hours a week). I continue to work with the chronicle throughout this school year</p>
<p>Summer after junior: I hope to either continue with the Chronicle or be a Senate page...</p>
<p>Model UN--since 9th grade; I am now an officer and hopefully will be next year as well</p>
<p>Saline Youth Council--since 9th grade; I am the president now (probably will be next year too)</p>
<p>NHS--this year; I am now on the Executive Council and hopefully will be an officer next year</p>
<p>Cross Country this year
Thank you! Let me know if I forgot anything major</p>
