<p>I posted before but there are some changes and now I am definite on where I am applying.
Be honest please:)</p>

<p>Rising senior. Indian female. I'm planning on applying to Columbia(ED), Barnard, Princeton(why not?), Upenn, Pennstate(Honors college), Haverford, Swarthmore, University of Delaware(Honors College), University of Pittsburgh, and Ursinus. I really want to go to nyc but aid is a huge determinate for my end choice. I am hoping to become a Questbridge finalist. </p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>[ *] SAT I:2150(retaking in october to get mu superscore up 2200+)
[ *] ACT:32
[ *] SAT II:740 on chem and physics, 760 on math 2
[ *] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0):4.77 out of 5 and unweighted is 3.85
[ *] Rank :1 (my school has a weird system so there are 20 number ones at my school)
[ *] AP: 6 total in total: 5 on chem, lang, calcs AB and BC...4 on physics and micro</p>

<p>[ *] Awards: questbridge college prep scholar and ap scholar with distinction i guess...nothing else aside from school awards</p>

<p>[ *] Extracurriculars :
Student Alliance for Gender Equality(founder and president)--this is my most important ec
newspaper(editor)
national honor society(secretary)
reading olympics(captain)
Spanish honor society
quill and scroll honor society </p>

<p>[ *] Job/Work Experience:i was a paid chem tutor for a few months
[ *] Volunteer/Community service:120+ at the local library and an assisted living center
[ *] Summer Activities: a trip to india( life-changing experience) and volunteering</p>

<p>I believe once you raise your SAT score, your chances will be higher! You ECs are a little bit weak, just a bit! But other than that your GPA and Ranking (Superb)! Try Appling For Duke, Johns Hopkins, and Brandeis!!! Very Good School</p>
