<p>I really hate that I'm doing this. I once declared CC "evil" and a "bane on all humanity"
Sigh. What has the college process done to me?</p>
<p>Chance me for EARLY DECISION at Wesleyan?</p>
<p>Never thought I would do one of these, but I'm bored and don't have much work (seniors aren't supposed to have much work this week/next week)</p>
<p>I go to a very competitive private school on the East coast. It's fairly well known in the region, so I don't want to say the name.</p>
<p>No ranks, no official GPA, but I'd say I'm about a 3.6x. Closer to averaging an A- than a B+.</p>
<p>I've pretty much taken the hardest classes possible for all 4 years. Currently in US Govt, English seminars, AP Physics C, AP Bio, Calc BC, and orchestra.</p>
<p>ACT: 35
SATII: 780 Math2, 730 Chem, 740 Bio
APs: APUSH 5, US Lit 4, AP Physics B 4</p>
<p>Essays: Both were very good.
Teacher recs (Junior english and Junior physics) were great
Counselor rec was fantastic</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
4 years of XC and captain senior year</p>
<p>3 years of track</p>
<p>Research internship at NIH this past summer, got a good recommendation from the head of the lab.</p>
<p>and headed a biology and neuroscience club at my school. We've gone to several biology conferences and presented our experiments. (this year only)</p>
<p>Head of our school's sports film society. I film, edit, and put up our school's sports games on youtube. Also use them for the end of the year sports montage. (2 years)</p>
<p>Editor and contributor to our school's version of the Onion (3 years)</p>

<p>Volunteered in New Orleans for one week over spring break my sophomore and junior years.</p>
<p>Assistant counselor and teacher at a summer camp for underprivileged urban youths summer after sophomore year.</p>
<p>I have no real hooks, except that my cousin just graduated from Wes.</p>
<p>Thanks all.</p>
