<p>She's the awesome-est person in the world.</p>
<p>But she's also really stressed out about college.</p>
<p>I don't think she should be THAT stressed out because I think she has a great shot at many good schools. But, it'd be great if you guys could give me your opinion, which I'm sure is more qualified than my limited knowledge.</p>

General Information:
Junior
Female
Caucasian
From a rural, small-town high school in Maine.
Less than 1000 students.
Very few AP classes are offered.</p>
<p>Academic Information:
GPA: 100.4 weighted --- or around there on a 100 point scale.
(Five percent weight to honors or AP classes)
Mostly A's --- a few high B's here and there (92 or 93 in chemistry junior year + one Freshman year grade)
Takes the most challenging courses.
Class rank: 3 out of 205.... I hope and have faith that she gets 2nd in class though. They are close.</p>
<p>Scores:
PSATS - She got 2100. High 600's in the math section, but insane scores on the writing and reading sections. I think she'll probably do even better on the SATS when more pressure is on.
AP - For the single AP class that we have, she'll probably get a 4 or 5.
SAT II's - Probably going to do just as well as on the PSATS.</p>
<p>Legacy / Financial:
Both her parents went to Brown for graduate school. Her mom graduated top of the class at Brown and Bowdoin, I think. (or something awesome along the lines of that.) Does a double-legacy like this help even more?
They are considered low-income. (She gets free lunch, I believe.)</p>
<p>Teacher Recommendations:
Her recs will be good. Teachers like her -- they have no reason NOT to like her. She is truly intelligent, and I think most teachers see that.</p>
<p>Essays:
She is an incredible writer. She is probably one of our class's finest.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
*Theater *
She is our stage manager, and very much devoted to it. She stage managed our play which made it to the New England Drama Festival (beating out around 80 other schools). She won a judge's commendation award for outstanding stage managing in 2006 at the State-Level one act festival. She also won a speech and drama department award in 2006. She has stage managed most of our high school plays, and acted in a few small roles.
Freshman, sophomore, junior--- and will be in it for senior year as well.</p>
<p>Speech Team
She has snagged two awards at the state tournament. I think a 2nd place at States and a 3rd place this year. Sophomore year, she won an honorable mention at states.
Sophomore and junior years --- will be in it for senior year.</p>
<p>Class Treasurer
Just for junior year so far. I'm not exactly sure what she does here... but it's not a very active student body.</p>
<p>Peer Helpers:
This is actually a community service thing. As part of our high school program, she goes over to an elementary school every week to help disadvantaged kids out. Sophomore and Junior year thus far.</p>
<p>Tutoring After-school
She and I go down to the elementary school after school everyday for an hour to tutor kids who need the academic support. Junior year.</p>
<p>National Honors Society
We all know about this one. Junior year. ^_^</p>
<p>Leadership:
I really think that her stage managing expertise has honed her leadership skills. She really is a fine stage manager, and well-respected by our theater coach. They are good friends.</p>
<p>She also the class treasurer, as mentioned above.</p>
<p>Other Awards:
Foreign Language Department Award
She got in the 98th percentile on the PSATs. So, I'm guessing that she is a national merit semi-finalist at the least?</p>

<p>I think she has good chances at Brown! -- and I hope she makes it in. What other schools should she be looking at?</p>
<p>She wants to go into something technology-esque. What if she applied to MIT?</p>
<p>Okay! I think I've said all that I needed to say now. Thanks for helping out. I'd be delighted to hear your responses.</p>
