<p>I've posted at "What are my chances" thread before, but, as we approach the end of the school year, I figured I'd update it and see if anyone wants to chance me again. </p>
<p>School:
3.84 uw gap, 4.35 w
Has taken three aps: HuG (grade 4), APES (grade 4), APUSH (grade 5)
Have won some academic awards, including best "APUSH" student and best AP Government student
SAT: 2190 (Cr 770, M 720, W 700), 31 on the ACT and am considering not submitting it
Have taken the usual required classes for math and science (such as Algebra I and II, Biology, Chemistry... all have been honors except for Geometry in ninth because I was an idiot in eighth grade)
Have taken three years of latin and two years of spanish</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Was a summer fellow for President Obama's 2012 reelection campaign
Am currently a legal intern at the County Attorney's Office where I live and have built up a portfolio of legal writing (I have been the high school legal intern for two years now, I applied for it exactly as you would apply for a normal job and was interviewed, etc)
Model Student Senate participate three years in a row (Best Freshman Senator, Best Committee, Best School, Most Effective Ranking Member, Senate Majority Leader)
Speech and Debate team, was a semi-finalist last year
Representative for Students Against Destructive Decisions for my school at this conference thing held by the county
Currently Opinions Editor for the newspaper (won three honorable mentions for editorials at FSPA, and three all-Florida's for column work)
Will most likely be editor in chief of the newspaper at my school next year (the newspaper is one of a dozen that was awarded an All-Florida this year, and has been given that award for the past so many years I can't even count)
Am President of NEHS at my school
Am Literary Editor for literary magazine at my school which has won a CSPA Gold medal, I think
Placed first in a writing contest in ninth grade
Play soccer on a competitive team but will probably stop following the spring season
Volunteer with League of Women Voters
Will probably volunteer for a democrat in Florida's gubernatorial campaign this year but haven't decided which one yet</p>
<p>I'm thinking of majoring in political science or government (as you probably guessed) and I am also really interested in studying philosophy and history as a minor. I might do something with journalism. It really depends on the schools that I get into. </p>
<p>I'm anticipating that my recommendations will be good and that my essays will be very good. </p>
<p>My list of colleges includes University of Chicago, Northwestern, Columbia, University of Michigan, Florida State University, Georgetown, Vassar, George Washington University, and maybe University of Virginia and maybe Oberlin. </p>
<p>I'll probably apply early to UChicago, because I think that school is a really good fit for me. </p>
<p>So, have at it if you want. </p>
