Parents Income Bracket: Does this matter? I don't think I will be applying for financial aide (is it possible to get it if income is over 60 k?)
I go to a public high school in Pennsylvania. Its just a normal public high school, we have had kids go to MIT, Upenn, and others.
UW GPA: 3.543
W GPA: 4.047
Im not sure what type of GPA system my school uses but I believe an A+ = 4.33 and its on a .333 increment scale. So like 4.0 = A and 3.66 = A- and etc.
Most Rigorous Schedule Offered
SAT I: 690 Reading, 720 Math, 700 Writing, Total : 2110
SAT II: Just took Chem and MATH I, I don't think I did too well... getting results this week I believe.
APs: Only took two last year and scores were not too great. 3 for U.S., 4 for Comp.
Rank: 49/498 (barely top 10%)
Notable ECs:
3 Years of Cross Country,2 years JV, this year varsity
This is the third year of tennis for me, unfortunately it is in the spring so Im not sure what I will write on my college aps. Maybe captain this year and def. varsity this year. I was varsity last year and JV two years ago.
Other random sports for school: 1 year winter track (JV), 1 year swimming (I think everyone is varsity on swimming), 1 year regular track (JV)
3 Years of FBLA
3 Years of Key Club
3 Years of SADD
Actually Make all those 2 years because my school went on strike this year! yay. And now all the teachers are refusing to hold clubs. My highschool is also from 10-12th grade.
NO LEADERSHIP positions. WOW.
I work as a CVS pharm tech.
Pathetic amount of volunteer hours
maybe around 20.
Other random stuff I did:
I have played piano for maybe 4-6 years, who knows. Im not that great though.
Went to a Johns Hopkins Summer program this year and got a college credit.
Won first place at a FBLA competition for public speaking.
Went to some random summer program during freshman summer to study biology and genetics. <- I really dont think its note worthy.
Im sure I did some other stuff too but I really cannot remember right now. CC has taken away all the confidence and pride which I once held dear to me and now I am a weak and insecure high school senior stressing out about college. I have no clue what I want to do in my life or what college I want to try to get into this year. Im at a complete loss, someone help me!
But I wouldnt mind trying to apply to:
NYU
Carnegie Mellon
VA Tech
Penn State (Safety) <- It is incredibly easy to get in there if you live in Pennsylvania
Johns Hopkins <- why not try? Probably will not get in though.
UPITT</p>
<p>Any other recommendations as to which college/university I should try to go to would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! And dont hate!</p>
<p>I'm also probably going to go as undecided if thats possible?
Additionally, I must admit to some bad things. I have been suspended in school for about a week (interesting story) for getting into a fight. And currently i'm not doing too well in my classes, i overloaded. I have B's in AP CHEM, AP CALC, and AP BIO. We have block scheduling so thats 3/4 of my classes. </p>
<p>additionally does NYU offer interviews?</p>
<p>If it helps, i've been told i'm an interesting person :)</p>
<p>i'm also debating if I should apply ED to NYU
thanks!</p>
