<p>I am a rising senior at a small private school in PA.
I am a white female from a middle class family.
GPA "unweighted": 4.3 (My school does this strange thing that gives you an extra .3 for a "+" and -.3 for a "-") (for reference sake my GPA would be a 4.0 out of a 4.0 on a regular scale)
Best SAT: 2230/2400, 1490/1600
National Merit Semifinalist this year, hope to qualify for finalist, but I obviously won't know that when I'm applying to schools</p>
<p>I play varsity basketball (4 years, hopefully captain this year), am on the yearbook staff (2 years, editor this year), volunteer through my local hospital, have a part time job, and also work as a babysitter. I attended NYLF/Med and am planning to shadow a physician at Hershey Medical Center this fall.</p>
<p>I am very active in my church and have a total of over 400 documented community services hours. I have placed highly in my regional science fair twice, and was an Intel ISEF finalist. I also already have 6 college credits, and will earn either 3 or 6 more this coming school year. </p>
<p>I have a very very good recommendation from my counselor (who is also my Advanced Biology teacher).</p>
<p>Here are my (abbreviated) Junior and Senior year schedules:
(Note: My school does not offer AP Courses.)
Junior: Physics, Chemistry, Pre-Calc, Spanish IV, Honors American Lit, World Cultures, Bible
Senior: Adv. Bio, Adv. Chem, Social Dynamics, Calculus, Honors Brit Lit, Latin 1 (College course taken at local university, not a community college or anything), Principles of Leadership, Bible</p>
<p>My SAT subject test scores : 670 US History and 630 Chemistry, but I did get a 800 on Math II. I am retaking the Chemistry in November and am shooting for over a 700. </p>
<p>I am currently thinking of applying to William and Mary, Penn, Franklin and Marshall, Bucknell, and Muhlenberg, along with a safety or two. I'm also thinking about visiting Haverford, as it recently just sort of popped up on my radar as a good option, so I'm not sure but maybe there too.</p>
<p>Chances for these?? Also, are these good schools for a prospective Bio/Pre-Med major?? Any other suggestions (with in a few hours of PA)??</p>
