<p>I'm a junior and interested in applying to Gtown, UPenn, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Emory, Harvard, NYU, UNC Chapel Hill (in-state), Stanford, Tufts, UVa and Wake (sorry for the long list, I haven't narrowed it down much yet). I live in Charlotte, NC, and I go to a catholic high school. White male. </p>

School doesn't rank.</p>
<p>APs:
Junior year- Stats, Language, US History
Senior year (projected)- Lit, US Gov, Micro/Macro, Physics C, Calc AB, French</p>
<p>Aside from APs, course load is all honors in any subject that APs aren't offered.</p>
<p><em>ECs:</em></p>
<p>Speech and debate- national qualifier, secretary sophomore and junior years, captain of policy debate and congressional debate, president next year (barring extenuating circumstances), all-time team NSDA points leader
Investment Banking Club- founder, club provides students with the opportunity to learn more about IB as a career and a discussion forum to talk about IPOs, mergers, etc.
Golf team- junior and senior years. Scoring average that could probably get me to play DIII or low DII, but wayyyy out of the D1 realm. I also play competitively in the region.
Writer for a student-run think tank. We discuss global and domestic issues, but I focus primarily on international affairs and how the US interacts with other countries in the world.
Editor and writer for a scholarly publication that discusses speech and debate as a whole, and is one of the most widely-read news sources in my primary event (congressional debate). Some of you probably know what I'm talking about, but I don't want a direct link to the site because it reveals a lot more about me than I feel comfortable sharing on here.
Investment club- currently leading our virtual stock trading game by a wide margin (think several thousand dollars). Not sure if it means anything but I thought I would add it here.
Carolina Premier Bank Student Board of Directors- Selected as part of a group of students to learn more about careers in finance and business, and to act as a group to help incubate ideas for the bank.</p>
<p>Considering founding a philosophy club to discuss the subject. I'm interested in post-modern writings, particularly those from Deleuze and Guattari, along with Virillio's writings and Foucault's. </p>

<p>Planning to study finance, international business/finance, economics, and/or international relations. Something in that area, but not sure what.</p>
<p>I know I'm light (read: absent) on safeties, but I haven't found one I truly like yet.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
