<p>I have heard certain schools such as UChicago & Princeton calculate GPA's only with Sophomore thru Senior year grades, as some sort of "clemency" to applicant's freshmen year grades. So I'll just post up the GPA if these schools or others out there do this:</p>
<p>Un-weighted GPA: 3.88

SAT II Math Level 2: 800
SAT II Chemistry: 780</p>

AP Chemistry Exam: 5
AP Computer Science Exam: 5
AP Exams taken in Senior year: US Gov, Calculus BC, Statistics, and Biology</p>
<p>I didn't do that well my sophomore year due to personal/family matters which I wrote about, also I tried to justify the decent grades sophomore year with junior year grades.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1) Key Club International - Divisional Officer (of 11 Schools as compared to just 1 school)
2) Intense Commitment to the Sports of Olympic Weightlifting & Powerlifting since 7th grade
3) Fellowship of Christian Athletes (Campus Ministries at HS) - President
4) ALLIES (Another Campus Ministries club at HS) - Leadership Team, no designated position yet
5) Church Youth Group (Sounds cliche, but we met up often and got down to business)
6) Government/Constitution Team - Intense and many hours a week of working towards fulfilling tradition of winning regionals, state, and national titles
7) An official highschool committee that works "backstage" to revive our old HS traditions and encourage school spirit, we also collect funds from the school to donate to our mascots, the Apaches tribe
8) Track & Field Team as Long sprinter! Captain of froshsoph track team as freshmen and sophomore, sounds petty but not really because I was next "in line" to take over for varsity track. Not important to note, but won medals at invitationals. After Sophomore year, my coach is making me convert more towards distance as an 800 meter runner.
9) Arcadia Boys Cross Country! varsity. Traditionally, we win many CIF southern section d1 titles, we've won 2 CIF State d1 titles, and previously won 1 Nike cross nationals title in 2010 + got 4th Place at NXN in 2011. In 2012 this year as varsity we won CIF Southern section d1 champions, CIF State d1 champions, Nike cross national champions. Also got 3rd place team wise at usa junior olympics national championships for certain age division. Note: not fast enough to run in college representing myself, cross country is a team sport.
10) Job: is at minor places with no relevance to career aspiration
11) Volunteer: at hospital, served through Key Club, helped set up Nike Arcadia Invitational (believe me its hard work to put on a meet of this prestige), served senior citizens, built houses through habitats for humanity</p>
<p>Athletics:
I plan on applying to many prestigious schools as a student-athlete, so I'm talked to some coaches to see if i can run in their programs. I do not plan on getting in with my athletics alone! Only as a supplement along with my academics. For programs that are d1 powers, I don't plan on running for them as I'd be near useless, however the ivy league is not too strong so I could help out many schools and other d3 schools as well. I've read that for the sake of diversity, the ivy's would really like to have a decent asian student-athlete on their ncaa team.</p>
<p>800: 1:57 expected by the end of this track season
400 speed (my primary event) 51 handtime, it would have been about 50 or 49 seconds had I stayed with long sprints my entire 4 years, so even if I joined colleges as a pure 400 runner, I should be able to run at least 50 by freshmen year. a 50 can help out many ivy league 4x400 teams or run the open 400. an 800 runner can run open 400, 800 or 4x400. </p>
<p>Sorry for the length. Chance me for some schools please like:

Northwestern
