<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm going for Harvard, Yale (EA), Columbia, New York University, Georgetown, George Washington, American, and Washington University in St. Louis. Planning to major in Political Science. </p>
<p>My father is Eastern-European American and my mother is Chinese. I'm male. I have legacy at Columbia through my mother.</p>
<p>I'm from NY from a high school that's famous for sciences and pumps out a lot of heavy science-minded students. We have a lot of AP programs. Maybe 2%-3% go ivy?</p>
<p>I'm a rising senior and here's what I got:</p>
<p>GPA: 97 weighted, I don't know unweighted (and I don't know how to convert this to the 4.0 system either...)
SAT 1: 2090
M-720 W-670 CR-700
SAT 2's:
World History: 750 Literature: 660 (planning to retake and I need to get a third, I know)</p>
<p>I've taken most of the AP courses offered at my school except for the science ones.
AP World I and II (5)
AP Calculus AB (4)
AP Language (5)
AP US Hist (5)
AP US Gov and Pol (5)</p>
<p>My senior courses:
AP Comp Pol and Gov
AP Environmental Science
AP Literature
AP Calculus BC (Can I drop this?)
AP French
Student Government
Music Theory
SUPA (Syracuse University Project Advance) Sociology</p>
<p>Top EC's:
Senior Class President
Created the Lorraine Eve Bike Foundation, an official charity that raises money to give bikes to kids (we're going to raise at least $10,000)
I created my own newsletter which had revenue for a little bit and is now being adopted as my school's online newsletter

The Brandeis Book Award for Civic Engagement and Social Activism (nominated by school)
Interned with State Assembly member Micah Kellner for a month over the summer

<p>Recommendations:
Fantastic ones, I'm very personable with teachers, as well as one from the Assemblymember.</p>
<p>Essay:
Should be great, I write well and I can edit well.</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate another perspective on what I have to offer! I still have senior year so I should be able to boost my GPA and the things that I mentioned I will be doing will definitely get done, it's just that it's the summer. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
