<p>So I'm your typical soulless asian applicant without the asian accomplishments :/
Here are my stats:
SAT: 2220 (one sitting) Math: 800 CR: 750 Writing: 670 ( 8 on essay...)
<em>planning on retaking in october, currently scoring 2300+ on practice tests
SAT 2s: USH: 800 Math 2: 720
*</em>planning on retaking Math 2 and taking Lit in November
AP: APUSH: 5 APGOV:5 APCALCAB: 5 APES: 4 APLAC: 4
GPA: ( not definate but approximation) 3.7 UW/ 4.3 W
**Upward GPA trend!! 2 B+s and 1 B in Freshman year, 4 B+s in Sophomore year ... but STRAIGHT As in Junior year
Took all honors classes and 1 AP sophomore year and 4 in junior year
Rank: top 5% 14 out of 300+ kids from just freshman and sophomore year hopefully in top 10 after straight As in junior year... </p>

<p>EC:
Secretary of FBLA- sophomore year
Community Service VP- junior year (raised $2000 for March of Dimes)
Features Editor for newspaper club- junior year
President of NJ Youth ( founded human rights/ community service club junior year)
JV Tennis- Freshman and Sophomore year</p>

<p>Community service:
Volunteer at local Salvation army and in charge of reading program for lower-income kids </p>

<p>Awards
Second Place in school writing competition for human rights piece- sophomore year
Third place in science league- freshman year
AP Scholar</p>

<p>****Obviously, my stats are not spectacular, and I'm highly unlikely to get into top schools because of my lackluster academic/ extracurricular performance so far. But in truth, I feel that I have matured throughout high school, and through my experience working with lower-income kids and trying to teach them to enjoy education and learn I have learned myself the value of education--it is not just another "mandatory" qualification for success and a source of pride, it is the chance to improve oneself to become much greater. (sounds really corny but I REALLY feel this way ;x) </p>

<p>planning on applying ED to Northwestern IF it helps and I actually still have a shot of getting in ED lol :///</p>

<p>Your academic numbers actually sound pretty good to me. Your SAT in easily in the middle 50% range and solid SAT II numbers. Being top 10 in a competitive high school of 300+ is great.</p>

<p>Your ECs sound a bit thin. However, it might be simply a case of only listing titles instead of specific accomplishments. I like that you state “raised $2000 for March of Dimes” instead of simply “Features Editor”. Remember that some schools (especially large, competitive high schools) tend to have dozens of “editors” on the school paper who do little more that write an occasional article and show up at meetings once per month.</p>
