<p>GPA: 3.67 uw, 4.33 w for 9-12, 4.44 w for 10-12</p>

<p>SAT: Took October test and expecting at least 2100 (I took an intense SAT class where my friends took it, and they all scored 100-200 points higher on the real SAT than the test given at the prep facility. I score a consistent 2100-2200 there, so yeah). From what I've garnered from the SAT discussion boards, a lot of my answers were right so I'm keeping fingers crossed for 2300+.</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Chemistry - 650 (took as a sophomore without studying, but I guess if I brush up I can pull off 700+ by December test date) Math 2 - 770 (again without studying. I know it's not a terrible score, but I know I can pull off 800 if take a few practice tests so the question is should I?)</p>

<p>ECs: Model United Nations (4 years), Key Club (4 years), Peer Assistance Leadership (3 years + president this year), Thieu Nhi (religious group/club; in it since I was 8 so 9 years; cantor and altar-server)</p>

<p>Awards: National Merit Commended Scholar, AP Scholar, Tower Award (Most prestigious award given at my school. One winner per subject area like math and not branches of math like algebra, stats, etc), and tons of awards from MUN</p>

<p>The schools I'm applying to are UChicago, Johns Hopkins, NYU, USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and Tulane University. I live in California, so I'm positive I'll get into San Diego and Santa Barbara, and I feel that Berkeley and LA are pretty reasonable reaches. I'm also confident that I'll get accepted into Tulane (it's my safety), and I think I have a pretty good chance at NYU. Johns Hopkins I think is in the same category as Berkeley and LA, maybe a bit further of a reach. UChicago is my first choice, but also seems like I'm shooting in the dark since it's a top 10 school according to US News Weekly. Thoughts? I fear that my list may have too many reaches, even far reaches, so if you could help me by giving me an indicator as to how well the school matches, and if it's even worth being a reach, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!</p>

<p>Oh, and if it helps, I have about 90 hours of community service for Key Club, 120 by the end of the year. Will have 80-100 for NHS by end of senior year, and currently have 200+ hours of community service for my church group for the past four years of high school. Would be well over 500 if I started from when I was in 3rd grade, though.</p>

<p>Basically, I’m a great tester and I’m bright (not to ruffle my feathers or anything), but I don’t point pimp. I’d rather take the B and show everyone I know what the hell I’m talking about through AP tests (4’s on all tests). I <em>do</em> admit I’m lazy, and if I really tried I could have gotten both an A and a 5 on the AP tests, but I wasn’t consciously thinking about it the past three years. I’m enrolled in AP Calc BC, AP Bio, AP Gov/Econ/MUN, AP English, and AP Environmental Science this year, and am working my butt off to raise my GPA (I know it won’t make a difference to apply, but mid-year transcript will show the privates my ability, I hope) and I expect 5’s on all the AP tests I will take in May since I’m studying and keeping up now, rather than cram it all in during last two weeks like I did my other AP tests.</p>
