<ol>
<li>Are you applying for Pratt or Trinity?</li>
<li>What is your area of interest?</li>
<li>Does your school offer AP chemistry. If so why didn’t you take it in Grade 10?</li>
<li>Which part of california do you live?</li>
<li>What are your grades in AP classes?</li>
</ol>

<p>Once I get the answers to the above, I will provide some suggestions</p>

<ol>
<li>Trinity</li>
<li>Something business, finance related, will probably do economics</li>
<li>School offers AP Chemistry, never thought about taking it in 10th grade, pretty much all advanced students took Honors Chemistry along with Honors Biology the year prior.</li>
<li>I live in Orange County, Southern California.</li>
<li>Grades in AP Classes were all solid A’s, one A- in Spanish, and two AP+'s in Biology and World History.</li>
</ol>

<p>Based upon what you wrote, here is how I would rate you on each of the 6 categories. For details on the rating scale see <a href=“http://www.dukechronicle.com/articles/2010/03/29/application-increase-overwhelms-review-system”>http://www.dukechronicle.com/articles/2010/03/29/application-increase-overwhelms-review-system&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>1) Curriculum: 4
2) Achievement: 3-4
3) Letters of Recc: ?? 3-4
4) EC/Personal Qualities: 2-3
5) Essay: ??? 3-4
6) Standardized Testing: 4</p>

<p>Based upon this your score would range from low of 14 to a high of 23. This is quite a wide range and I say your chances of admission are highly dependent on what happens with your Recs and essays. Best of luck</p>
