<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>]SAT I (breakdown): 2140 (710 CR, 700 M, 730 W 11 Essay) This was my first time and I will be taking it again in October, hopefully I will get at least a 2200

[</em>]Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable):3-5/200
[<em>]AP (place score in parenthesis):AP World History (3), AP US History(4), AP Lang and Comp (5), AP Chemistry (5)
[</em>]Senior Year Course Load: AP Statistics, AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP British Literature, Honors Engineering 3, Honors Biology
[/ul]
Subjective:[ul]
[<em>]Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):
RWDC Engineering Team-Transportation Challenge(11, Project Manager, National Champions)
RWDC Engineering Team- Aviation Challenge(12, Co-Project Manager)

Also, a patient who I worked with during my volunteering at the hospital and am now pretty close to offered to write me a rec, so I will probably have one from him as well.

<p>Anyone? I also forgot to add University of Rochester.</p>

<p>Cornell and UPenn are reaches for everyone</p>

<p>Vanderbilt+ Duke is likely, as long as SAT is higher. </p>

<p>Idk about all the others.</p>

<p>Honors Biology?</p>

4

<p>Thanks. And what about Honors Biology? If you’re asking why I’m taking Honors instead of AP its because AP Biology didn’t fit into my schedule this year, and Biology is a required class so I had to take Honors Biology.</p>

5

<p>Oh. At my school, we take it freshman year.</p>

6

<p>No, Duke and Upenn are solid reaches and have a good shot at cornell early decision(higher if cr+math) improves and a good chance at vanderbilt.</p>

<p>Dundunyang, duke is actually probably more competitive than Cornell.</p>

<p>RIFLERY??? XD BOOM HEADSHOT :smiley: You’re EC’s are consistent with your intended major, and your GPA is amazing. I’d say if you bump up that SAT score you’d have a good chance at Cornell, that is, if you’re good at picking off those targets…BOOM</p>

<p>Skip a week of school to improve your SAT score. Ignore the suspicious looks you get on testing day when all your friends wonder where you’ve been.</p>

<p>I got a 730 on Chem. 800 Math 2 of course.</p>

<p>I heard getting a 2 in Chem is in style, but I guess a 5 is ok.</p>

<p>If you drop out of an EC, it only worth mentioning on the bottom of your commonapp if there’s room (like lax… you are not a lax bro even though your engineering coach may be). I put longboarding on my commonapp activities.</p>

<p>I heard that competition RWDC is really sketchy.</p>

<p>I volunteered at a hospital too! Senior service projects awww yeah.</p>

<p>If you let me look at your essays I’ll be more help, but you’ll realize that almost all feedback you get here is useless without essays.</p>

<p>I have but one question, Y U NO APPLY TO STANFORD.</p>

9

<p>If you ED at Cornell, I think you’re a guarantee in provided your essays are on spot. </p>

<p>^I’m gonna get flamed for saying that.</p>

<p>You will probably get into bucknell</p>
