<p>Hi all, I'm about to finish up junior year so my profile is pretty complete and I stumbled upon this website a while ago and I am now curious about this chancing stuff.</p>
<p>Basically as far as demographics go, I'm your typical upper-middle class white male from New Jersey, but I'm curious as to what my chances would be at some good schools with a not-perfect GPA but excellent science extracurriculars.</p>
<p>GPA: 4.06 (Weighted)
Rank: Top 10% (That's as much as we get, however, the highest GPA is a 4.15 I believe)
SAT: 2270 (770 M, 780 W, 720 CR)
SAT II: 800 (Bio M) 780 (US History)
AP's: World History (5), Will take the following tests: APUSH, AP Bio, AP Eng. Lang, AP Micro, AP Human Geography</p>
<p>As far as course load, I've taken the most rigorous classes starting sophomore year (Had two regular classes freshman year)</p>
<p>School EC's: ( Junior Position -> Senior Position) (Senior Position)
-Habitat for Humanity (Treasurer -> President)
-FBLA (Treasurer -> Vice President)
-Science Research Club (Founder, President since Junior year)
-NJ Science League (Top Scorer for Chem and Bio in school)
-German Honor Society (Vice President)
-National Honor Society (Treasurer)
-JV XC (Sophomore + Junior)
-JV Track (Sophomore)</p>
<p>Outside of School EC's:
-Hospital Volunteering ~200 Hours
-Habitat Volunteering ~50 Hours
-Job at Vet (Since sophomore year)</p>
<p>-Research on Auditory Neurology at Rutgers (Sophomore - Junior Summer, ~50 Hours)
-Research on Sonic Hedgehog spinal nerve growth (This summer, plan to do about 100 hours total)
-Independent research on the effects of dopamine on memory (With my bio teacher)</p>
<p>Awards:
-Basic school honor roll and stuff
-NJ Biology League High Scorer (Teacher told me about this, I will get something latter this year I suppose)
-Rutgers Science competition, 1st place (Can't go into details here)
-National neuroscience competition finalist</p>
<p>Welp, that's about it. The three schools I am looking at most are University of Pennsylvania CAS, Cornell CAS, and Johns Hopkins, and I plan to apply ED to one of these schools. (UPenn is my first choice by the way)</p>
<p>Thanks in advance people!</p>
