<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Gender: M

SAT I: 800 R 700 M 720 W
SAT II: Will take 3 in December (Spanish I w/o listening, American History, and World History)
ACT: 34
AP: 5's on Human Geo, Biology, US History. 4 on Psychology</p>
<p>Senior courses: AP Eng 4 Lit, AP US Gov, AP Calc AB/BC, AP Chem, AP Stats
Previous AP courses: AP Bio, AP USH, AP Psych, AP Enviromental, AP Human Geo</p>

<p>Major: Undecided, but leaning towards pre-law and accounting. I will look out for comedy writing/acting in college once I get there, however.
Recs: Have good relationships with my recommending teachers; one of my club advisor is a former teacher and knows me pretty well.
Essays: I consider myself a good writer; I go for the "creative" option on essay supplements/Common App. </p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!!</p>
