<p>I have applied to 17 schools (yes, a ridiculous amount but I like all the schools and would rather have more options than less). I also applied ED Round 2 to Colgate. I just wanted to know what you all think my chances are at some of my top schools: Colgate, Lehigh, University of Rochester, Brandeis, Franklin and Marshall, BU, Lafayette, and Dickinson.</p>
<p>ACT: 29 (28M, 26S, 34E, 30R) My math and science scores suck :( and I'm not too good at standardized testing
GPA: 3.7 (Low because I had a really bad freshman year, but have had an upward trend each year after that with 4.0 or higher since Junior year)
Rank: not sure
APs: AP Comp (4), and currently taking AP Bio, AP Lit, and AP Calc (My school offers very few APs)
Senior course: AP Bio, AP Lit, AP Calc, Spanish 7/8 (4th year of spanish), Econ, and Physiology</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Sports-Varsity tennis (all four years, #1 singles for 3 years, captain my senior year), Varsity track/field (sophomore and senior year), JV basketball (sophomore year), and Freshman basketball (freshman year).
Sports awards: I have won numerous tennis tournaments and was MVP for my tennis team my Junior year. I have been a leading scorer for both my tennis and track teams as well.
Also, for tennis, some of the schools are interesting in me playing D3 and have notified me to tell me. </p>
<p>Musical theater: participated in theater all through high school. Leads include Mama Rose (Gypsy), Dotty Otley (Noises Off), Rosie (Bye Bye Birdie), Anita (West Side Story), and Madame Thenardiar (Les Mis).
I have been told I have an exceptional singing voice and I have sent videos of me singing to many of the colleges.<br>
Internships- During my junior year I interned at an elementary school and helped 2nd graders with disabilities work on their school work and social abilities (fall) and interned at a medical practice (spring).</p>
<p>Volunteer work: volunteer at the Milo Foundation (similar to humane society) for all four years of high school.
Clubs: Created the Pre-med club at school. We bring in workers in the medical filed to come and speak to students and I organize a charity event with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation every year. Part of the Interact club and PALS club also.</p>
<p>Summer before my senior year, i took a genetics course at Cambridge University and got an A also. </p>
<p>Essays: Strong. I worked on them with a college counselor and she sent one of them out to many of her students who were having trouble writing theirs. </p>
<p>Teacher Rec 1: Pre-calc teacher who I was close with.
Teacher Rec 2: Physics teacher who I am extremely close with. </p>
<p>Also, quite frankly, I'm an amazing interviewee and I interviewed at many of the colleges (University of Rochester, Lehigh, and Franklin and Marshall all emailed me afterwards saying I was a perfect fit for their schools and that they were excited to read my application).</p>
