Class Rank :1/425
School Type : not competitive, sends 1 student to top school each year</p>

<p>Our school has this stupid rule when you can only take like 5 AP courses even though they offer 10.</p>

<p>AP's:

AP Microeconomics (currently studying)-------self study
AP Macroeconomics (currently studying)-------self study
AP US History (currently taking)
AP Environmental Science (currently taking)
AP Biology (currently taking)

<p>And i'll probably self study a couple senior year.</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:</p>

<p>-President of Key Club (4 years) : we actually did stuff, over 40 hrs of volunteering</p>

<p>-President of Young Democrats (3 years): we have been doing some heavy volunteering for Obama/Clinton ...25ish hrs volunteering</p>

<p>-Captain Academic Team: yea, didn't win state or anything lol</p>

<p>-Science Club - again actually did stuff, went to Smokey Mountains and did some testing</p>

<p>-NHS - didn't do much, maybe like 10 hrs volunteering</p>

<ul>
<li><p>volunteered for stepping stones summer before sophmore year : help disable kids ....50some hrs.</p></li>
<li><p>Summer job for 2 years... worked like 30 hrs a week at borders</p></li>
<li><p>and i may be able to get some economic research with a professor at University of Cincinnati</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Most Important Extra Curricular : Internship with Grameen Bank (2006 nobel prize winners) in bangladesh. Went to various villages and learned the process of microloaning and such. </p>

<p>What are my chances to these schools:</p>

<p>UChicago (#1 choice, sibling legacy, econ)
Swarthmore (econ)
Northwestern (econ or maybe math)
Harvard (i know uber reach, but why not)
University of Wisconsin honors (econ/math, will only go there if i get good aid or scolorships)
Ohio State honors (instate, math)</p>

<p>Also, could you recommend me to any other schools.</p>

<p>I honestly don't care about prestige, and i plan on becoming an actuary, or more likely working for a think tank/NGO/Government agengy (SEC, WTO).</p>

<p>And i most likely will not get an MBA but would rather get a phd in economics (i know, i know its too early to think about it)</p>

<p>Anyways, long post, but thanks for reading and any input will be valuable.</p>

<p>Have you taken the AMC? Or the AIME for that matter?</p>

<p>They are not offered at out school.</p>

<p>Both Northwestern & Chicago have great undergraduate economics programs. With your stats, you probably do not need to apply to any other schools as you are likely to get admitted to four of the six listed schools & probably will be admitted to five of the six listed schools.</p>

<p>BTW, how do you make bold letters.</p>
