<p>So yeah, I made a chance topic awhile back but I'm redoing it. FYI I've already applied to Penn CAS ED and am planning to send in my Chicago EA app as soon as I finish these essays. Here's my "stats":</p>
<p>Asian male senior, coming from a high school of under 800 total students, with 186 kids in my grade. This is located in very very northern Wisconsin, almost in the UP lol.</p>
<p>3.973 cumulative unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Class rank: 3rd out of 177 (unweighted ranking).</p>
<p>Have basically taken the hardest course load available at my school, including most every AP available.</p>
<p>AP scores: 4 Bio, 5 Lang, 5 US Gov, 5 Calc AB. Am taking Psych, Lit, Spanish Lang, and Stats this year.</p>
<p>ACT: 35 composite -- 36 reading, 35 math, 35 English, 35 science. 10 essay.</p>
<p>SAT: 2270 composite -- 730 reading, 750 math, 790 writing. 9 essay.</p>
<p>SAT II: 780 math 2 & literature.</p>
<p>233 PSAT and NMSF.</p>
<p>AP Scholar with Distinction.</p>
<p>My EC's:</p>
<p>Gold medal (perfect score) at state forensics two years in a row. Got a silver medal my freshman year and am participating again this year.</p>
<p>I also spearheaded the first sophomore Model UN trip at our school and was basically the founder of that (just for sophomores) and also went to the Model UN conference as a junior and am going this year too.</p>
<p>I've participated in many clubs for all four years, including Math League, Forensics, Teen Court (an alternative to the traditional court system for first-time teen offenders) and Mock Trial. I'm a captain in all of these AFAIK.</p>
<p>In the Math League, I was first in the state as a freshman, second as a sophomore, and fourth as a junior (I was in a harder category in 10th/11th grade than I was in 9th).</p>
<p>For Mock Trial, I was part of the team that went to state my freshman year and placed 7th out of 12 teams.</p>
<p>I've been fairly active in music, participating in all of the bands my school has to offer (concert, jazz, pep, and pit) and also participating in Solo/Ensemble and receiving 1's (perfect score) at state for piano and saxophone my sophomore year and piano my junior year. I received a 2 at state for sax my freshman/junior years. Also received an award for Outstanding Musicianship at the UWSP Jazz Festival. Also I've volunteered as a member of the local community band since 8th grade.</p>
<p>I've played soccer for all four years and was JV captain and offensive MVP my junior year, and JV captain this year. I played tennis freshman and sophomore year and plan to play again this year.</p>
<p>I've been in NHS since junior year.</p>
<p>In the summer I've volunteered at the Dandelion School English Summer Camp in Beijing for two consecutive years, where I stay for 10 days at a summer camp in relatively poor conditions, teaching English as a volunteer teacher to Chinese migrant middle school children who are generally from rather low-income families in China.</p>
<p>As for essays/recs, I think they should be good but I'm not really one to judge :P For what it's worth my essays have all been read and revised many times by several people.</p>
<p>Anyways, please chance me for UPenn CAS ED and UChicago EA. Thanks!</p>
