<p>I'm still just a junior, but I'd like to see if I'm on the right track or if I have to amp it up a little bit... I'm Asian American and I go to a suburban East Coast school but I don't know how much that is going to hurt me. I've been taking all the available honors and APs in science, math, spanish, and history for the past three years, but just started taking AP Language this year. I'm the first generation to attend college on my Dad's side, but not my mom's side; does that count for anything? I'm worried that I don't stand out...</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 4.22
ACT: 31 Composite, 33 Writing (going to retake, and hoping for a 32)
SAT Subject Tests: American History 690 (will probably retake), Chemistry 750
Extra Curriculars: I am an EMT locally, and have about 200 hours of community service this year, but that should go way up because I do between 8-13 hours a week, sometimes more than that. </p>
<p>I'm the Secretary of the Young Democrats Club, and next year will probably be Co-President.</p>
<p>I've played the clarinet for six years, and I'm in my school's Wind Ensemble (which is the highest band in my school), and in Jazz Band after school.</p>
<p>I'm interested in studying neuroscience and have been independently working on a research project on ADHD.</p>
<p>I wasn't planning on taking the SATs because I score better on the ACTs, but will colleges hold that against me?</p>
