"Most Rigorous Courseload Possible" (The reason my Couns. told me my class rank will be lowish is because very few people take AP's at my school and thus unweighted class rank...gagh)</p>

<p>SAT I: 690 CR 720 M 780 W, Retaking, Probally getting 2300+ superscore as I didn't study for the first time I took it since I had no time to study for it w/ so much hw and work

SAT II Chemistry: 780
SAT II World History:800
Will be Taking Math IIC and Physics</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: -
- Prob my APUSH Teacher (96, 100 first 2 quarters) who will likely be writing about my dedication and interest in history along with the fact that I love going over the minimum page limit for her papers (once she had a 6 pg paper for us to write, and she was so astounded when I wrote a 20 page amazing paper!)
- Either Honor Precalc (97 avg) or Physics Honors (...89 Avg) teacher will write it, depends if I can improve my phys. grade or not.
- Counseler likes me I guess, frequent contact.</p>

<p>Awards: Commended NMSQT, Some local awards, entered some essay contests recently havent gotten anything. Weak part of app.</p>

<p>Essay: I'm not that far into the future yet</p>

<p>EC's: Pretty amazing, national-level recognition, have simply been very involved. According to Princeton's extracurricular scale its prob a 6/6 or 5/6, but for confidentiality reasons I can't say them as you could easily look up my wikipedia page or google me. </p>

<p>Chances for:
- Ivy League
- MIT
- UChicago
- Honors Colleges @: UPITT, George Washington, Northeastern (Will be applying also to GWU's Accelerated Juris-Doctorate Program)
- John Hopkins University
- Emory University
- NYU
- Duke
-RPI</p>

<p>Everything looks good, just keep up the good work. Why in the world did you write a 20 page paper?</p>

3

<p>^ I was really into the topic for some reason after having looked into it a bit...It was some in depth analysis of Andrew Jackson's presidency....lol</p>

<p>Bump??////////////////</p>

<p>You have a really impressive resume and will probably get into some great colleges. You do come across as a bit preoccupied with your stats though ("I love going over the minimum page limit"). Do you really want your teacher to focus on the length of the papers? Often college professors will insist that you say everything you have to say in a limited number of pages. Hopefully you enjoy your academic pursuits and that will come through on your actual application. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm surprised your history teacher didn't kill you. There's an art to writing with brevity, ya know. You seem to be in good shape, but it's a little hard to tell this early.</p>

7

<p>lol, i see</p>

<p>any other comments?</p>

<p>My history teacher would have given me an F.</p>

<p>You have incredible stats, but then you're not in the top 10% of your class at a public school? That's the only thing that's concerning. You can probably go anywhere you want, with the exception of the HYPSM schools that turn down Olympic gold medalists with 4.0s (this has happened). Good luck with finanical aid, though!</p>

<p>^ well it was expert material, thats the thing. It was not like it was just blabber, but actual scholarship in her opinion which suprised her. </p>

<p>I probally wont be in the top 10% because of unweighted grades - I've taken the hardest courseload possible but other people who dont take them (only 5% of my class takes AP courses), thus they get much higher grades, and thus higher class ranks...pfft</p>
