<p>What are my chances at these schools? Note: I know my academics aren't SUPER AMAZING when compared to many applicants', but they are very very good for my school's standards. Also, I tried to focus more on personal qualities in my essays, rather than academic. </p>
<p>Objective:
[ul]
[<em>]SAT I (breakdown): 2110 superscore; 730 CR, 640 M, 740 W
[</em>]ACT (breakdown): Did not take
[<em>]SAT II (place score in parentheses): 800 Spanish, 700 Math 1, 660 Biology Molecular, 640 US History, 760 Literature
[</em>]Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): My school has it out of 100 and does not calculate it unweighted. Mine is 93.994/100 WEIGHTED.
[<em>]Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): My school does not rank
[</em>]AP (place score in parentheses):
English Language (5)
Comparative Government and Politics (4)
Biology (3)
English Literature (5)
US History (4)
Spanish (5)</p>
<p>[<em>]IB (place score in parentheses): None- I'm taking one IB this year
[</em>]Senior Year Course Load: AP Art History, AP Calculus AB, IB Psychology SL, and the rest are regular classes that are required to fulfill my course requirements
[li]Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Head of Upper School's Honor Roll (all semesters of high-school thus far); National Honor Society; AP International Diploma; AP Scholar with Distinction; Outstanding Student in Social Studies (9th grade); Outstanding Student in English (11th grade); two Honorable Mentions in different years for art in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards[/li][/ul]</p>

[ul]
[]Extracurriculars (place leadership in parentheses): Literary magazine (Editor-in-Chief); music (singing and self-taught at piano and guitar, have performed in various school events since I was 13, used to play in the subway, recorded a professional CD with my band in 2011); art (also a long-term activity for which I have won two Honorable Mentions in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards); independent writing of poems, stories, memoirs, etc.; Model United Nations (Moderator)
[<em>]Job/Work Experience: None
[</em>]Volunteer/Community Service: "Signs", or a community service club for deaf and blind children in Mexico (Officer); Gamma Club Teacher, which is a club dedicated to teaching underprivileged children in Mexico for free; Habitat for Humanity; opportunity volunteering with the elderly and Red Cross; packing for food drives at school; etc.
[<em>]Summer Activities: Traveling with my family, journalism camp at Boston University (although this will have no effect on my decision, since I didn't put this anywhere in my application)
[</em>]Essays: I wrote the Common App one about being in the car during long rides that I have with my family during family trips. The additional essay was about my move back from Boston to Mexico four years ago, and how I had believed that moving back to Mexico after 5 years of Boston was the end of the world. Then, how I realized that Mexico opened so many doors for me.
[<em>]Teacher Recommendations: I had a lot of recommendations, since I think my counselor submitted an extra one that she was not supposed to (I hope that doesn't affect my decision…). I only saw one of them (the one that I wrote about in the Additional Rec section), and the other three I'm sure were very good. One of them I know was stellar, since I had been my English teacher's best student for two years in AP English classes.
[</em>]Counselor Rec: No idea. She doesn't know me too well, to be honest, so I hope she didn't think I am a mediocre student...
[<em>]Additional Rec: US History teacher, whom I have had a close relationship with since 11th grade. I was able to see it and it was wonderful, talked about how there are "very few students" like me in both academic and personal qualities.
[</em>]Interview: Did not get one
