<p>So, I am a senior this year at a large public school with a good local reputation. In freshman year, I went to a public school, and took all honors classes and even two math classes simultaneously (Geometry and Algebra II) and I got literally all A's one semester, and all B's <em>and and C!!!</em> the next semester. The "C" was in a computer class in which I forgot to turn in my assignments on the day they were due and the teacher failed me for the quarter. In sophmore year, I switched to a private school, and got 10 A's (counting both A's and A-'s) and 2 B+'s. The B+'s were in math and science. The thing is in this private school, the actual percentage grades are shown. In junior year, I did kind of poorly in the first semester, in that I got B+'s in chemistry, physics, English, and Spanish. However, next semester, I shaped up and got all A's, with 93+% grades in all my classes (2 AP's, the rest all honors classes). I transferred to a public school so that I could get senior status this year. Now, in senior year I have finished my first semester, again with straight A's, all above 98%+. I am in 6 AP classes (AP Biology, AP English Literature, AP European History, AP US Government, AP Comparative Politics, and AP Psychology) this year at my school, and I am also dual enrolled in Multivariable Calculus and Organic Chemistry at a local community college. I have very high A's in these college classes. Let me quickly go through my other stuff:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.5 (9th Grade), 3.87 un-weighted, 4.1 weighted (9th-12th grade) (Top 10% of Graduating Class)</p>
<p>SAT: 2390 (790 CR), SAT Math II: 800, SAT Chemistry: 800, SAT US History: 750</p>
<p>AP Exam Scores (all 5's): AP Chemistry, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, AP US History, AP World History, AP English Language, AP Computer Science A</p>
<p>EC's: Math Club (9, 12) President (12), Chem Club (12) - President and Founder, Vice President of Young Democrats (10-12), Mathcounts Coach (12), Speech and Debate Team (10-12), Mock Trial Lawyer (11), Sports-Varsity Cross Country (12), Instrument-Played the Piano (9, 11-12), Volunteered for 200 hours in my sophmore and junior summers at the science center and at hospitals, and I did unofficial research with a local chemistry professor my senior year and I wrote a paper under him, National Honor Society (10, 11, 12), and Mu Alpha Theta (10, 11, 12), Student Newspaper (11, 12) (Editor in 12th Grade)</p>
<p>Major Awards/Positions: State Runner-Up For Speech and Debate (10), National Speech and Debate Distinction Honor, Piano Gold Star (9, 11), 2nd Place Lawyer in Mock Trial District (11), State Math Competition Winner (12) (placed high in 9-11), National Merit Commended Scholar, National AP Scholar, Researched in chemistry at a local community college and published an article, Intel STS Semi-Finalist in Chemistry</p>
<p>Volunteering/Employment: I did 40 hours as a volunteer at a local science center in 10th grade. I did 100 hours of community service at a local hospital in the summer of 11th grade. I started up a Mathcounts club at a local middle school and coached it in 12th grade. I worked at a movie theater every day after school my senior year. </p>
<p>Reccomendations: I got very good reccomendations from my AP English Literature teacher, my AP Biology teacher, a chemistry professor, and my college counselor. They said I was a creative, intelligent, and mature student who set an example for students in their class. I was one of their best students they have had.</p>
<p>Income Bracket/Parent Education: My dad is a medical doctor, and my mom has a master's degree in entemology but does not work. My family generates an income of about 180K/year, and I have two younger brothers. Both of my parents are from Pakistan but are naturalized US citizens and I am an American born citizen.</p>
<p>Essays: I wrote an essay about the importance of family, which I learned from my parent's sacrifice of living two hours apart so I could go to an excellent private school. I wrote another one about being a Pakistani Muslim Democrat in America, and how I learned to accept my heritage and my responsibility as an American citizen.</p>
<p>First and foremost, do I have a very high chance of getting into Vanderbilt. If I can, what are my chances of being a Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar?</p>
