<p>Hey there CC, I know that it’s hard to really say if someone is definitely in or not at a school, but despite all that i’ve done, I’m looking for some way to have my anxiety assuaged. Here’s what my credentials look like right now:</p>
<p>-Senior
-Non-ranking but pretty noteworthy high school in NY
-Have visited the campus
-sibling is an alumnus</p>
<p>In terms of academics:</p>
<p>3.94 GPA
30 on the ACT 10 on the writing
770 on the US SAT II
680 on the Bio SAT II
5 on the US AP
currently taking AP Bio and AP Spanish language; currently have an A in Bio and B+ in Spanish
All four years I’ve taken very challenging classes and I’ve never taken free periods or anything like that</p>
<p>I’m a heath TA for sophomore students (only 14 seniors are chosen)
Member of the school newspaper (two years)
Have work experience for a year and a half in ski retail and service, and also as an entrepreneur (started pet care business over one summer and currently am a freelance writer)
Member of my school’s science olympiad (compete in scientific competitions in state)
My volunteer hours are dispersed over a lot of community events as well as events that involve teaching kids about science and health
My letters of recommendation are pretty solid and my essay was as well</p>
<p>Currently writing a paper out of class that is assessing why success is not based on the institution but the individual; it’s a social science paper and I’ve been writing it for a few months now. </p>
<p>So that’s basically everything at the moment; if my grades aren’t up-to-par then i’d be basing my chances on my personal achievement/quality</p>
<p>So what do you guys think?</p>
