<p>If I can get chances/advice on what to include and not include in the common app portion that would be awesome.</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT: Didn't take
SAT II: Haven't taken any. Should I?
ACT: 33 (33E,33M,33R,32S) I got a 34E and 34R with an 11 on the essay, but I got a composite of 32 so I don't think I should send that. Not sure though.
GPA: 4.09W,4.0UW (We only get weight for AP classes, not honors. We have 7 classes and summer classes also count, which "dilutes" the weighted I guess.)
Rank: School doesn't rank anymore, so I asked my counselor if she could include my rank somewhere in my letter. Pretty sure I'm #1.
Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): 4 on AP US, 5 on AP Eng Language. Will be taking AP Spanish, Chem, Eng Lit, and Calc this year.</p>
<p>Also dual enrolled at community college for American Government
Subjective
Essays: Going to work really hard on them.
Teacher Recs: Have a few good teachers in mind, so hopefully they will be good!
Counselor Rec: Hoping for a good one as well, I think it will be because I go to a school where Top 25 school acceptances are basically unheard of.
Supplementary Material: I might send an art portfolio, not sure here because I am not intending to major in art, but it's a big EC for me.

Extracurriculars:
-Playing Viola. I'm in the top orchestra at our school and it's my biggest EC. I'm the section leader, and was last year also.</p>
<p>-Sinfonia. After school combo of band and orchestra. 4 years. We meet weekly for rehearsal, and also have sections some weeks.</p>
<p>-Pit for musicals. I volunteer at a local highschool with no band/orchestra program to play pit for their musical. I've done it for 4 years.</p>
<p>-Viola Lessons. I take private lessons for viola, have for a while now.</p>
<p>-Drawing Commissions- I take commissions online for digital artwork, usually of peoples pets and things like that. It's a job, but I guess I'm not sure how to verify it because I don't take many art classes because my schedule is full. Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>-NHS. We don't have leadership positions.</p>
<p>-SLS, Students Leading Students Club: Promotes safety in the school, no drugs, texting and driving, etc. Only have 2 years for this.</p>
<p>-Interact Club. 2 years. Oriented towards volunteering within the community. We go to food banks to volunteer.</p>
<p>-Tutoring. This could probably be lumped in with NHS, but I tutored a lot last year for science and math, and will be again this year.</p>
<p>Not sure if I can add this, but I love reading. I've probably read over 200 books in the past 2 years, and 300 if you count all of highschool. Doubt that counts as an EC, though.</p>
<p>Awards:
-1 rating (highest) in State Solo Ensemble for my string quartet and a chamber ensemble, 2 in a few another quartet/ensembles
-Rensselaer Medalist (Awarded to the top math/science student in the 11th grade).
-Geophysical Science Student of the Year (9th)
-Honors Bio Student of the Year (10th)
-Spanish 4 Student of the Year (11th).</p>
<p>I'm not 100% sure what I want to do yet major-wise, but it will be something with science or math.</p>
<p>Basically any tips would be appreciated because I really want to get in. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I can also chance back, esp for places in the Midwest/some east as I have researched them most</p>
