Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone! I am a high school junior looking at NYU, Boston University, and UMass Amherst. I want to major in biology and then go to either med school or vet school</p>

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

<p>unweighted GPA freshman year: 3.7
unweighted GPA sophomore year: 3.7
unweighted GPA 1st semester junior year: 3.87
cumulative GPA: 3.73
i plan to raise my junior year GPA to at least a 3.9 by the end of the year and plan to keep a 3.9 through senior year</p>

<p>AP exams: I'm taking the AP biology exam in May and hopefully will get a 4 or 5. During my senior year I will be taking AP Calculus AB, AP Law and gov, and AP environmental science and will hopefully get at least a 4 on the Calc exam and a 5 on the AP environmental science exam</p>

<p>SATs: i just took the sats for the first time in January so here are my results:
Math: 630
CR: 640
Writing: 690
I had an overall score of 1960
I am retaking them in May and i am going to work really hard to get 700s in each section or at least get above an overall score of 2000
I am taking the SAT II for Biology, Math, and Latin and planning to get at least 700 on all 3</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
I don't have many extracurriculars because I spend most of my time working at a horse barn which is a huge commitment. I spend about 10-12 hrs there per week during the school year and about 50 hrs per week in the summer. I teach kids about basic horse care and help teach them how to ride. I also ride and help the staff take care of the horses
Here are my other extracurriculars:
-Varsity outdoor track and field (freshman, sophomore and junior year)
-JV indoor track and field (freshman, sophomore year)
-JV cross country (freshman year)
-member of various school clubs
-camp counselor in the summer (freshman, sophomore, junior year)
-i also have worked at many other horse barns during my freshman and sophomore years
-i went to Tufts Adventures in Veterinary Medicine the summer after my sophomore year. this is a 2 week program where high school students experience Tufts school of veterinary medicine and learn what it is like to be a vet. Only 40 students are admitted based on an essay, 2 recommendation letters, and high school transcript</p>

<p>If you want to major in Bio, you should be looking at 5’s in AP Bio and AP Calc. Your SAT 2 plan looks great. Raising your SAT to 2100 will give you a significant bump, and would be make you a very strong candidate for BU and UMass, as well as a decent candidate for NYU. Keep your GPA up.</p>

<p>Write about how working at the horse farm as influenced your desire to study biology in the field.</p>

<p>You sound like you’re in MA - is this correct? That boosts your chances for UMass significantly, and BU somewhat. </p>
