<p>Next year, I plan on taking AP Calc BC, AP Lit, AP Bio, Ap Physics C, and (probably) AP Stats.</p>

<p>Duke TIP summer program (summers after 9th and 10th grade, I respectively studied macroecon. and robotics)</p>

<p>Hobbies:
-food-trying at restaurants (and even cooking some by myself)
-camping/backpacking</p>

<p>Miscellaneous:
I also volunteer at the library during the summer.
I also made the state round for MathCounts in 8th grade. (Is there any way to say this even though it was in middle school)
I received national honors in 7th grade for the SAT math portion. (see above parenthetical statement)
-Traveled around Europe.
-I'm almost certain my PSAT score will qualify me for semifinalist standing in the NMS search.</p>

<p>Recommendations: I know several teachers at my school who like me and will probably write well about me.</p>

<p>-I'm also expecting to receive some school awards (2-3ish) by the end of this school year</p>

<p>I wouldn’t retake the SAT I, it’s not worth the effort. You’re already at the point where you should be, and SATs are only one factor of admissions. Take subject tests instead.</p>

<p>I am a senior in a well thought of public high school in California. I am applying to get into Wharton for undergrad business.</p>

<p>The 12 extracurriculars that I am going to put on the common app:

  1. Founded/ CEO of a non-profit organization
  2. Co-founded/ CEO of a 501(c)3 titled charity
  3. One month teaching internship in Africa
  4. Captain of mens varsity lacrosse team
  5. Chair member of my towns Youth Advisory Board
  6. Founded/ President of a school club raising money for UNICEF
  7. Founded Charter/ President of United Nations Student Alliance
  8. Summer internship with a state senator
  9. 2-year internship with a music management company
  10. 503 hours volunteering at a local shelter for women and children with abusive fathers
  11. made and run an investment of the week blog
  12. sales associate for two yearly seasonal job
    GPA: 3.75
    My essays are solid, they deal with my mission trip to Africa, my non-profit organization, and why I would like to go to UPenn. </p>

<p>If anyone can size me up to other applicants that would be great!</p>
