<hr>
<p>Testing:</p>
<p>ACT - Best composite is 32 (including a 36 on science and an 11 on the essay), superscored composite 33. </p>
<p>SAT II - Taking Math II, Physics, and Chemistry in October. Expecting high scores on Math II and Chem, and an 'okay' score on Physics. </p>
<p>AP - 5 on Chemistry, 3 on Calc AB. </p>
<hr>
<p>Classes:</p>
<p>I'm taking AP Calc BC (will improve the 3 on AB with the AB subscore this year) and AP Physics. Took AP Calc AB last year, as well as AP Chem.</p>
<p>"Unique" Classes: Took two computer music classes, where I learned how to use Reason/ProTools (two widely used production tools) where I wrote/created several songs. I also played drums for the school's Jazz Band (2 years). </p>
<hr>
<p>Internships:</p>
<p>3-month internship at Parker Hannifin (big international motion control company if you aren't familiar - I designed rubbers for hydraulic hoses)</p>
<p>3-month internship at NASA (worked with an electrical engineer on designing/fixing/operating a data collection system for an apparatus that tests the efficiency of the compressor section of turbojet engines)</p>
<p>Each internship ended with a 25-minute presentation at a symposium. </p>

<p>Sports:</p>
<p>Threw discus and put shot in 9th grade, and very briefly in 11th, but I'm only counting 9th. </p>

<p>Captain of the debate team (I do Public Forum debate - lots of 1st place finishes, 2-time state competitor, competed at Glenn Brooks and Crestian national tourneys)</p>
<p>Head of technical theater club. I've done 3 productions so far (2 more this year). Managed stagehands and did all the lights and the sound.</p>

<p>Doing some volunteer work at the local food bank. I will have 60+ hours by graduation. </p>
<hr>
<p>Rec's:</p>
<p>One from my Chem/Bio teacher, one from my English teacher. Both should be great. I will be getting one from my NASA mentor as well. </p>
<hr>
<p>Thanks in advance. I'm also looking at UPenn, Northwestern, and Tufts (if you guys have any commentary on that.)</p>
