<p>I know these are annoying, but, well...everyone likes to have a sense of where they are.</p>
<p>That said, I've got two questions for you all:</p>
<p>1) What's the likelihood that I'd be admitted to USC with my stats so far?</p>
<p>Rising senior, grades: Around a 95-96 unweighted, I get mostly A's with the occasional B in terms of quarter averages. I've never gotten a "B" for the year on any course, though.</p>
<p>SATs: 2320
Math - 790
CR - 750
Writing - 780</p>
<p>SAT IIs:
Math Level 2 - 790
Physics - 800
Biology - 770</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Math team, minor involvement
Varsity Crew Team, coxswain
-(see next question for what I've done here. this is a commitment that takes up more than 1000 hours each year.)
Key Club, 9th grade, minimal involvement
National Honor Society
Spent time over the summer interning at a national laboratory, I have a paper with my name listed on it, but I'm not a primary author.
Played violin for 11 years, I have so-so credentials here, considering the length of time I've been involved.</p>
<p>Volunteer work: 120ish hours, here and there, nothing special.</p>
<p>Demographics: Asian, female, upper-middle class, upstate NY</p>
<p>2) Is it possible for me to make it as a walk-on to the women's crew team? I'm a coxswain for a New York rowing club with three seasons of experience coxing (six by fall 2007) and two seasons experience rowing. I don't really have super-stellar credentials, and I'm totally unsure as to how the coach selects coxswains, or even if he/she likes them.</p>
<p>-4th place in Scholastic Rowing Association Nationals, girls' Jr. 4+, spring 2006
-1st place at NYS Championships, girls' club 4+, spring 2006
-2nd place at NYS, girls' jr 4+, spring 2006
-Placed 11th (I think) at Head of the Fish, girls' youth 4+ (this has college rowers in it, too), Fall 2005
-3rd place at NYS, girls' 2nd varsity 4+ (I don't think this one counts, as I was rowing and not coxing), spring 2005</p>
<p>Potentials for Fall and Summer '06:
-I'm probably getting sent to the Charles this fall with the womens 4+. Last year, we had the same boat go with a different coxswain, and it got 6th.
-Possibly coxing the HS lightweight 8+ at Head of the Fish. Last year, these girls got silver. This year, they're better.
-We're going to the Canadian Henley this August. A few of our j18 and j16 boats may make it into semifinals.</p>
