University of Virginia, UCLA, Tulane, University of Maryland, Michigan
White male, junior.
Come from a very prestigious public school in New Jersey, approximately 80 in the nation according to Newsweek
I transferred to the school my freshman year as a tuition student, so I was completely new to the area and my classes I had taken in middle school were far less advanced than the courses the typical student was taking at my age, so I needed to do a lot of catching up. (Which is why my courseload my freshman year is completely different than that of my Junior year)
Intended Major: Double Major with Business and Spanish
GPA: 98.2059 (Junior year is about a 101 so far so this will go up come the end of this year)
SAT: 2090 (CR 720, W 690, M 680 - this was second time, will take again once more)
SATII: None taken yet, but plan to take Spanish, U.S. History and maybe Chemistry at the end of this year

Senior (Intended) - Honors Physics, AP Literature and Composition, AP Comp Sci, AP Calc AB, AP Spanish
**My previous school didn’t offer a spanish program or a higher math program, so I needed to take basic level Spanish and Math that year. Also, I was told that it wasn’t a good idea to take too many honors classes in this school upon arrival, so I took classes that were too easy. Note the gradual moving up in each class
*Took Spanish III over the summer

Haven’t thought too much about recommendation letters, but I feel my 11th grade english teacher and academic counselor would write very good ones about me.
Also, one question. I had once thought that I wanted to be a doctor, so I decided to pursue extracurriculars in that field, i.e. Junior Urban Medical Program. Will the fact that now I want to major in business void this as an extracurricular? Thank you for the consideration.
