<p>Hey!</p>

<p>Recs: My english teacher wrote the most to die for letter. My physics teacher is going to write one which I'm sure will focus on my work ethic, personality, and amount of time spent on activities outside of school (he knows I worked two jobs all last yr).</p>

<p>Work:
I worked 70 hrs a week at Panera Bread over the summer and have had a lot of other jobs at restaurants. I worked two jobs throughout Junior Year.</p>

<p>Other: I have taken 10 gifted classes which are about 10 times harder than AP at my school and weighted the same as honors. My counselor will be pointing this out in her statement. I have some alum connections to Brown as well. My great aunt used to be on ad com and my aunt and many cousins went to Brown.</p>

<p>Schools:
Brown
Columbia
UPenn
Swarthmore
Wellesley
UChicago
University of Florida
Vassar</p>

<p>You need to post your rank. That is, where do you stand relative to the other students in your graduating class--and how many are there in your graduating class. Ivies determine admittance based on rank, plus test scores, and ECs.</p>

<p>Also, you didn't mention your UW GPA--which would be helpful in determining your chances at Swarthmore, Wellesley, UChicago, the University of Florida, and Vassar.</p>
