Chance the Rising Junior !!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay so college applications aren't coming up for another year or so, but it would be great if you guys could give me a little feedback on what I should improve and what I can focus on for this junior year (yikes!). I am thinking of UPENN, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and the Drexel 7 year med program. =D Thanks !</p>

<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] SAT I (breakdown): estimated 2300 according to many practice tests (taking in october)
[</em>] SAT II: 800 Bio M, 800 Math II, and going to take Chem next spring
[<em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0 UW, 4.25 W (will rise by next year)
[</em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): either 1 or 2 and top 5% (school doesn't release rank though, only percentile)
[<em>] AP (place score in parenthesis): Bio (est 5), World (est 5)
[</em>] Junior Year Course Load: AP Chem, APUSH, APES, AP Calc BC, Spanish Honors, English Regular (honors not offered)
[<em>] Senior Year Course Load (most likely): AP Physics, AP Gov, AP Lit, AP Spanish, Honors Multi Calc
[</em>] Awards: USABO semifinalist, a few other school awards</p>

<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):
- Science League Team (9-12, founder/president, 1st place team freshmen year)
- USABO semifinalist
- Merck Science Team (10-12, captain)
- Euro/Fed challenge (10-12, semifinalist team)
- FBLA (10-12, secretary)
- Orchestra (7 years, Principal/section leader 10)
- Tennis Team (JV 10, most likely varsity 11-12)
- probably will be accepted into Cum Laude and a few honors societies
[</em>] Volunteer/Community service: Volunteer at political campaigns (total 40 hrs), volunteer at children's activity center every saturday for 4-5 hours and have leadership in a few large projects (total 800+ hours at time of app)
[<em>] Summer Activities: Summer@Brown, leadership conferences, research with doctor summer after sophomore year
[</em>] Essays: Should be decent (going to write about volunteering at children's center and how has shaped me as a person)
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: One should be very solid (teacher for 2 years and Science League/USABO club supervisor that knows my talents), not positive about the others
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Should be personal because school is structured in such a way that each counselor only has 10-15 kids</p>

<p>I’m personally not a fan of juniors’ asking to be chanced, you have another year to go, just focus on your grades and ECs and tests instead of asking to be chanced a year early. This was not meant to be an offensive post i’m just saying relax! you don’t need to be stressing about colleges a year in advance!!</p>

<p>Wow is all I can say. Assuming you keep it up/have strong essay you will be a strong applicant. The only thing that might hurt you is that you are an asian male (no offense there are tons who apply to ivies). You make me glad that we are not looking at the same schools…</p>
