Took less classes in school so I could continue my research internship through the school year.</p>
<p>Through CTY @ Johns Hopkins:
AP US Gov (required to graduate)
AP English Lang (required to graduate)
AP Calc BC
Self study Multivariable with OpenCourseWare in the spring.</p>
<p>Audited a graduate neuroscience class 1st semester </p>
<p>EC's:

Debate Team (10,12) Will compete in varsity level this year
Spanish Honors Society (10, 12)
Science NHS (12)
Varsity Golf (Starter)
Tennis (Intramural, clinics and private lessons)</p>
<p>Conducting research at top university, starting at the end of 10th grade, through this summer, and continuing through the school year as well. Neuroscience based, but very math/programming heavy, and definitely involves engineering and systems design. </p>
<p>Volunteering: Tutoring 40+ hours of math and science. (Also tutor multiple kids now, for pay)</p>
<p>Summer's:
After 9th grade:
Attended CTY Summer Program at JHU, and took Accelerated High School Chemistry
Played in regional golf tournaments, placed in top 3 in a few tournaments.</p>
<p>After 10th grade:
Aforementioned Research
Continued playing in regional tournaments.</p>
<p>Awards:
3rd place Speaker Regional Debate Tournament
6th place Team Regional Debate Tournament
1st Place Skit, Speaking, 3rd Place declaration in Regional Spanish Competition </p>
<p>Recommendations:
One from Physics and AP Physics teacher, one from AP Chem teacher, and one from AP World teacher, all excellent. Counselor should be great as well.</p>
<p>Other stuff:
I am graduating high school early, hence nothing going on in 11th grade. This is why I have to take US History and Gov, and two English classes this year. The reasons for graduating early are various, and both academic and social. Ex: Was prohibited from taking community college classes because of my age this year. My counselor supports it, and she talked it about it in her letter.</p>
<p>Also, I switched schools (and states) from 9th to 10th grade. This, and the graduating early, are why I don't have that many leadership positions. Also caused my low rank, as I lost honors credit for 4 of the classes I took in high school (otherwise would be in top 10). I also missed both science fairs at both schools. </p>
<p>Schools and what I think my chances are:</p>
<p>EA:
Caltech - high reach</p>
<p>MIT - high reach</p>
<p>RD:
JHU (BME) - JHU itself match/low reach. BME is probably reach/high reach</p>
<p>Duke- match/low reach</p>
<p>Rice- match/low reach</p>
<p>Princeton- high reach</p>
<p>Harvard- high reach</p>
<p>UPenn: I am applying to the Jerome Fisher Management and Technology program (super high reach for sure :) ). I do have a genuine interest in business, but it doesn't really show in my ECs. I will probably submit a research paper on business cycle theory I wrote (don't know if it will help...), and the interview should help as well. Backup is SEAS-bioengineering (reach?)</p>
<p>UVa (in state)- low match/safety</p>
<p>Georgia Tech- safety</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, and I'll try to chance you back!</p>
