Chance me for NYU and UChicago

<p>My HS education has been a bit weird, but good, so bear with me please. I am technically homeschooled, but I take all of my classes at local universities and online systems. So this means that I don't have a GPA that makes sense the same way, and my extracurriculars are a little thin. My classes are very strong, though.</p>

<p>Recommendations:
Very strong, both from uni professors</p>

<p>SAT (superscore): 2260
ACT: 32
SAT IIs: haven't taken them yet, will likely take Math I and Physics and get mid 700s.</p>

<p>ECs:
*2-300 hours of mathematical research with a paper authored by me submitted to the Journal of College Mathematics, and has been presented at the Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference
*150 hours of Internship over the summer of '11 with a small investment firm
*5 hours a week of options trading and research
*Administrative and creative work for a local farm as a part time job, about 10 hrs. per week
*Eagle Scout
*4 years of track, 3 years of cross country
*I play piano
*~50 hours of helping at a soup kitchen
*Wrote several smaller mathematics papers over the years</p>

<p>GPA: It's about 3.83 UW altogether, but for comparison, it's 3.88 at the University of Massachusetts where I took Multivariate calculus and Linear algebra, so it's stronger than a straight 3.83. It's also about 3.88 at another local University.</p>
