<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior and would really appreciate some input at to my chances</p>

SAT II's (projected): Math: 770, Bio: 750, Chem: 750
ACT: 32 (retaking, I know I can get a 33)
AI: 220
Courseload- way harder than yours, I go to the Illinois Math and Science Academy for pete's sake.</p>

<p>ECs: Iniquiry- student directed, student designed research project (grades 11-12, 200 hours so far, probably 300+ by the time aps are due)
-Taken classes at Northwestern University
-President of Young Democrats (100 hours)
-Leadership position (not a great one) in Kid's Institute, a program for elementary schoolers in my area, (about 100 hours of community service), I've taught kids for a week in the summer and designed cirriculum for the program
-Private guitar lessons (3-5 hours a week of practice)

-Discussion Classics (Literary discussion group) grades 10-12, 100 hours
- Drama- 1 play soph year, 1 play fresh year</p>

<p>Intended major: Neuroscience</p>

<p>Are you the same student as saudukargeneral (already posted just a while ago)? It seems odd to have two different students both going to the Illinois Math and Science Academy posting almost simultaneously.</p>

<p>P.S. If I were you, I wouldn't be assuming that the people you are addressing on here are going to lesser schools than your Illinois Math and Science Academy. Many of the high schoolers on here have gone to places like Phillips Andover or Phillips Exeter Academies--and many of the people answering the posts on here are already in college--at places like Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, UC Berkeley, Williams, Georgetown, Amherst or Stanford. Personally, I've already finished my MBA from UCLA . My most recent course was in Computer Forensics and was taught by PhDs at the National Security Agency. So while I'm happy you are doing well at IMSA, I'm not particularly impressed.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a better chance at Northwestern, but hey you can always try Brown. Follow your dream because that's what'll make you happy.</p>

<p>I agree with chillax

<p>IMSA isn't even that great, tony liu brings your school's stats up :)</p>

<p>But think of all those others schools better than IMSA, Philips Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, Troy, Boston Latin, Montgomery Blair, AAST and so on...</p>
