<p>Chances @ Duke, Brown, NU, Georgetown, UVA, UNC</p>

<p>Location: Large Public High School in SC 2300 + students</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Indian</p>

<p>GPA/Rank: 4.0 UW and 5.1 W Rank 3/510
I will have taken 14 AP's by graduation. </p>

<p>SAT/SAT II's:</p>

<p>This is my weakest part of the application and I know will be the decider, just like the other kid on this forum. </p>

<p>SAT: 1320/1980 - I am going to take one more time, but I like to expect the worse</p>

<p>SAT II's: 760 - US History, 710 Biology</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars: (strongest part of my application)</p>

<p>*I am the Youth Governor of South Carolina's Youth In Government Program, i serve over 1200 students all over the state and I have made significant changes to the program that will last throughout the program. </p>

<p>*Speech and Debate, I served last year as Captain of the largest team in SC, winning 3 state championships. I won 1 state championship this past year and I have qualified to the National Forensic League Nationals 2 times in a row.</p>

<p>*Boy Scouts, I am currently working on my Eagle Project in order to attain my Eagle Badge. I am working with the Red Cross, running a community-wide drive to collect stuff for "care-packages"
As a Boy Scout I am currently serving as a Den Chief, i go to Cub-Scout meetings and lead a Den every Monday, I also served as several leadership positions in my troop. </p>

<p>*Youth Leadership Greenville, A selective leadership program that lasted 1 year, i recently graduated, it is run by the Chamber of Commerce. </p>

<p>*Vision 2020 for Science, A selective group of students were chosen to design a state of the art science facility in our community, the project will be completed in December, and we all get scholarships along with it. </p>

<ul>
<li>Beta Club and National Honors Society - Basic service and volunteer clubs, nothing important.</li>
</ul>

<p>Basically with my EC's i like to stress Leadership and Service in everything I have done in high school, all my activities represent that. And as a leader, I go beyond serving, I try to implement changes that last. </p>

<p>As you can see my EC's and GPA/Rank are good but my SAT 1320 is what I am really worried about. Does anyone have any comments, or anything that will be of benefit to me, thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Brown MIGHT let the 1920 slide. But it will really affect your chances out of state to UVA and UNC-CH.</p>

<p>Play up your dedication to debate and scouting in your application. </p>

<p>Beyond that, all you can do is raise your scores.</p>

4

<p>its a 1980 btw not 1920 if that makes the slightest bit of difference</p>

5

<p>ur scores aren't bad right now, but you would raise ur chances SIGNIFICANTLY if u got say 1450/2180. right now though, i think they're all reaches with brown being the biggest. you could still get into 3 or 4 of them if you really play on your dedication to youthgovernment/debate/eagle scout</p>
