<p>So I'm applying ED I. chance/opinions?</p>
<p>White/Mid-eastern Jew male from CT, and go to a very good public school.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.89/4 UW (school does not weight), 3.9625 for 1st quarter senior year
Rank: top 10%, but school does not officially rank</p>
<p>Test Scores: SAT I 2090 (730 CR 760 W 600 M)
SAT IIs: 790 US, 720 chem, 660 Lit
APs: Taken US, Euro, Eng. Lang and Chem, 5 on all of them. Taking Government & Politics, French, and Eng Lit this year</p>
<p>Classes n Stuff: Will have taken 7 AP classes by the time I graduate, all other classes have been honors except math (I'm bad at numberz)</p>
<p>ECs: Debate team; (have won many trophies, including 1st place speaker/2nd place team @ varsity states tournament last year)
Ultimate Frisbee; made a club sophomore year and have played all years of highschool.
Environmental club; in charge of school composting efforts, do general green energy awareness things
Theater: helped stage manage a play, had a role in one play, and participated in school improv club when it existed
GSA + French honor society; pretty self explanatory I think?
I write for the local newspaper in a weekly column I share with 4 other kids in my grade. (had to compete against a lot of people to get this)
School Orchestra: play viola, have been in it all 4 years of HS
also got a book award for excellence in US history</p>
<p>Finally, I belong to a progressive Jewish youth movement, and have been a part of it since 2002. I've gone to Israel with movement and done tons of cool things, including working at its summer camp and leading events and volunteering and so forth. I wrote my 150 blurb thing about this, and consider it to be kind of a hook.</p>
<p>My common app essay is, in my opinion, really really good (writing = my thing), and so are both my teacher recs (one is from an English teacher with whom I'm doing an independent study so I'm hoping this one is particularly stellar).</p>
<p>I'm hoping my chances are at least above mediocre, and I think my only real failing is the SAT score(s). I took them twice but my math score didn't change too much... I'm an inconsistent test taker and the SAT really isn't my thing. I'm hoping the AP scores make up for it? I feel like there aren't too many people with such a disproportionate GPA and SAT, so it's hard for me to discern where I stand. Feel free to ask questions!</p>
