<p>Caucasian Male (New York City)
I go to an elite and extremely competitive public high school which is ranked as one of the top in the nation.</p>
<p>I plan to do Chemical Engineering...</p>
<p>GPA: 92.5 UNWEIGHTED, school does not rank but I would venture around top ~10-15% out of a pretty large grade. My grades have been on a constant upward curve, going from a 90 average (for the term) freshmen year to a 95 average (for the term) junior year.</p>
<p>Courses (Senior): AP Physics C (Mechanics and E&M), AP Calculus BC, AP Macroeconomics. Please keep in mind that its an actual challenge to get into AP courses in my school. </p>
<p>I have taken all of the chemistry courses the school offers including AP Chem (Junior year) which I received a 97 in. I also received a 5 on the AP Exam. That year I also took physics so I was doubling up on science. </p>
<p>ACT: 30 SAT IIs: Chem: 800 Math IIc: 750</p>
<p>ECs: (Don't be frightened by the short list)
- Robotics team for a year (worked on website)
- (Since freshmen year and continuing to this date) I run my own computer consulting business in the city. I have clients from all over the city, and yes this takes up most if not all my time away from school, and yes I have website which I am not going to post, sorry! Recommendations have been sent from clients in addition to my teacher recs. This is also something I plan to continue until I move into my actual career.
- For the past two summers, I've worked on two professional magazines, giving technical support as well as design assistance. </p>
<p>My essays focus on my business and how it has helped me realize my natural ability to solve problems (relating to engineering).</p>
