<p>I'm a rising junior interested in knowing where I stand at this point so that I can plan for the future. I attend a fairly well known private school in New York, and my school doesn't rank its students. I don't need financial aid, but if I could get some merit money that'd be great. I've included my stats below, as well as some schools that I'm interested in applying to and would appreciate it if you could chance me and give me some advice, encouragement, or tips. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Freshman GPA: 3.45 (3.33/3.57) {3 honors, 2 CP}
-----> NOTE: I know this is low, but I have a legitimate excuse for this (an immediate family member was battling cancer)
Sophomore GPA: 3.745 (3.66/3.83) {1 AP, 2 honors, 2 CP}
Freshman+Sophomore GPA: 3.6 (3.33/3.57/3.66/3.83) </p>

<p>AP Exams (so far):
European History: 4</p>
<p>ACT: 35 (already taken, not a projected score) {36W/35R/35S/33M}
PSAT (sophomore year): 212 {80W/74M/58CR}</p>
<p>Volunteer Work: 200+ hours, very meaningful community service. Can't explain exactly what I did (it would give away my identity), but it was quite significant.</p>
<p>Job Experience: Work as a hockey instructor 30 hours/week during the summer, 5 hours/week during the school year.</p>
<p>Recommendations: One teacher rec will be phenominal, I'm not sure who's going to write the other one yet. Both my boss and the owner of the place where I volunteer have offered to write me letters of recommendation.</p>
<p>Sports: Ice Hockey (our team is one of the best in the state). I've been one of the best players on JV for two years, will either be Varsity or JV captain next year.</p>
<p>Other EC's:
Debate Team- Officer (our team went to the Nationals last year)
School Newspaper- Editor
Student Gov't- Officer</p>
<p>Approximate Percentile: Hard to say, as the school doesn't rank. I'd say around 17-22%. (Our IVY/MIT threshold is around 15%)</p>
<p>...And that's it for my stats. I know that was long, so thanks for taking the time out of your day to read it. Below are schools I'm interested in applying to. I formatted it such a way that it should be pretty easy to chance me.</p>
