<p>SAT: 2120
SAT II (Bio and US): 750 & 780
GPA (weighted): 4.3 (unweighted): 3.8
Rank: ...uhm, top 10%. (maybe it'll go up after this year)
APs: Took (or will take) 9 APs, with various scores of 4 or 5.
Awards: First place in two art contests. Second in one regional contest. If you want to look at my artwork, that'd be cool, too. (and if you like it, you can tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends...)
ECs: Speech & Debate, Independent Film, Art Club, Maison Chance Club (founder/president) <---the fun clubs.
NHS, and all of those other boring "schooly" clubs (i.e. MUN, Make-A-Wish, Academic Decathlon). <---- the...other clubs.
Volunteer: Worked at a soup kitchen for three years, every Sunday (and i served that soup until my thumbs hurt, the boss there says she is willing to write me a letter of rec).
Summer Activities: Volunteered at various orphanages in Vietnam for a month, taught them a little English, fed them food, wiped up their barf, etc. (I plan on writing my essay about my little culture-shock there).
Took Philosophy and Calculus (i already did calculus at school, but it was not AP, i still wanted college credit, so i took it here) at the local community college. Took a math class over the summer at the community college so i can have a free period to do art the following year. I am also currently enrolled in a community college course as of now because of a schedule conflict at school.</p>
<p>And I'm pretty close to all of my teachers and my counselor, especially my English teacher, so I hope they will write me good letters of recs.</p>
<p>Other: I designed the logo for the company Aegis, an image protection agency. I am in the progress of getting a book published. I recently have gotten a poem published in a literary magazine.
I've also gotten my artwork published in three art magazines.
I've played the piano for about twelve years. Banjo for three.</p>
<p>Cons: Parents' income, Asian. ('tis life. Ah.)</p>
<p>So, what do you think? I expect blatant honesty.
PS: Should I retake the SAT?
PPS: If Stanford does not work out, what other schools should i consider?</p>
