<p>Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I'm a rising senior.</p>
<p>I don't know how different my school's GPA system is, so I'll explain it. Our GPA is weighted on a scale of 5; we multiply the number of credits, which is the number of times a class meets per week, by a quality point index and divide by the number of total credits. If you receive an A (we don't have + or -) for high honors and AP classes, the QPI is 5. The QPI for honors classes is 4.5 and regular classes are 4. The QPI drops a point for each drop in letter grade (Bs=4,3.5,3). Because we are required to take gym, which is a regular class, and other honors classes during freshman year, it's impossible to get a 5.0. The highest GPA possible is around a 4.75/4.8, but that's very rare.</p>

Rank: 2 out of 480. Unfortunately, my school doesn't usually report individual rank, so I'll appear to colleges as being in the top 5%.</p>
<p>Subjective/Extracurriculars:</p>
<p>School of Visual and Performing Arts: Our school is known for the performing arts. For about 5 months of the school year, I go to rehearsal for both a musical review/showcase and a musical for three hours, usually every weekday from 3-6. This is a very big part of my life.</p>
<p>I'm in a selective a cappella group; about 50 kids tried out this year and 6 made it. We have rehearsal twice a week and we perform in the local area for free.</p>
<p>Voice lessons every other weekend</p>
<p>Science scholar program freshman year</p>
<p>Garden State Equality Community Service</p>
<p>Summer@Brown DNA Biotechnology</p>
<p>National Honors Society</p>
<p>Clubs:</p>
<p>Gay/Straight Alliance every Monday (Board Member)
Food Director of the Save Darfur Club (meets every Tuesday)
Co-president of Science Olympiad (meets every other Tuesday); we made it to states this year!

Chemistry Olympics. My team won 1st place in the state for an event.
Vice President and Cofounder of French Club</p>

<p>Cooking:
I've been cooking for many years and for a while I thought I wanted to be a chef. I've made over 100 chocolate bars for a Yale a cappella group, catered school events, and directed the food preparations for an event that made almost $3000 dollars for the Darfur Genocide victims. I'm also a contributor to a project that is attempting to bake 400,000 cookies to represent those killed in Darfur.</p>
<p>I founded and still lead an organization in which high school students prepare homemade food and sell it for charity around my town. I also made a website for it. We've raised over $500 dollars.</p>
<p>Also, my brother is a rising senior at Yale. I don't know how much sibling legacies count for.</p>
