Chance me, please (before I lose it!)

<p>I'm going nuts as application deadlines are slowly encroaching. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Gender: M
Race: Caucasian
Location: ...not exactly the best public HS in New Jersey
Major: I haven't a clue. Some type of engineering? Pre-law? Visual arts?</p>

<p>SAT I: 2000-2100 range.<br>
SAT II: Have yet to take. Likely will be math and English/history.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.94 unweighted, 4.26 weighted
Rank: Top 10%
Schedule: Rigorous. I am taking a good number of APs and many honors courses. Unlike other high schools, AP classes are almost exclusively available to seniors.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Varsity outdoor track, varsity indoor track (pole vault and sprint), Art Club, Chemistry Club, NHS.</p>

<p>In addition to being a member of the art club (which is essential run by anarchy rather than an individual leader), I take private lessons at a well-known art foundation. </p>

<p>I'm also a self-taught fluent Norwegian speaker and member of the Sons of Norway (fraternal organization.)</p>

<p>I have approximately 200 hours of volunteer service per year through work at a local library, church, senior community, and tutoring. Also did work for for the Meridian Center in Newark, NJ and a local Salvation Army-type organization.</p>

<p>Work: Tutor, ~3 hours per week. Free lance artist</p>

<p>Leadership: Have been invited to an insane amount of conferences around the world, but it was never feasible to attend. Additionally, I will likely be named a team captain on either track team. It is customary for the position to be dolled out to seniors, and very very rarely an underclassmen or junior garners the role.</p>

<p>Awards: Once again, very rarely is an award given to an underclassmen. They are unofficially exclusive to graduating seniors. Of the awards available (High Honor Roll 4.0 recognition and perfect attendance), I have received both throughout my high school career.</p>

<p>...and here's the list. I am mostly looking for match and safety schools. </p>

<p>NYU
Syracuse
Villanova
Drexel
Rutgers
Penn State
Rowan
Richard Stockton
Muhlenberg
Stony Brook
Elizabethtown
Delaware
University of Maryland</p>

<p>If you have any suggestions or advice, please feel free to share. I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>*I forgot to include Duquesne in the list.</p>
