Hi all, HS Junior here.
Looking for chances for schools like UC Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, Cornell, GA Tech, and Carnegie Mellon
Here are my stats:
Scores/GPA:
- ACT: 35C (35E, 35M, 34R, 36S)
- SAT II: Haven’t taken yet, but I think I can get 800 on both Math 2 and Chemistry
- GPA: 3.68 UW, 3.8 W (out of 4.8) (I got bad grades freshman and sophomore year, but I got one B+ last semester and I currently have straight As. I moved to a new town right before freshman year, and I was still getting used to things but now I’m back on track.)
- AP: No scores yet, but I’m going to take Computer Science, English Lang, Chemistry, Stats (self study) and Environmental Science (self study). I’m expecting 5s on all (English may be tough for me, I may get a 4).
Senior Course Load:
- AP English Lit
- AP Physics C
- AP Economics
- IB Philosophy
- Honors Organic Chemistry
- Physiology, Government (online)
- 2 College Computer Science Courses
- 1 College Math Course (probably Calculus 3).
All college courses are at The Ohio State University.
By the way, the reason I’m not taking the AP test for Calculus BC and yet I’m taking Calculus 3 next year is that I’m taking Calculus BC online over the summer and then taking a placement test to get into Calculus 3 at OSU.
ECs:
- Varsity Rowing (all 4 years, all 4 seasons. I think I’m going to be a captain next year)
- Computer Science Club (I will be the leader next year)
(We compete in many competitions in this club, and I was on our team for PicoCTF, MIT’s Battlecode, and the American Computer Science League) - Circuitry/Electronics Club (founder/leader)
Volunteering:
- Sixth Grade Camp Counselor (counselor at a camp that all sixth graders in my town go to. I stay in the cabin with them for 3 days, make sure they don’t hurt each other and try to make it as fun as possible for every kid. We go hiking, sing songs, and do other camp activities)
- Elementary School Computer Science Club Teacher (I help teach elementary school kids about some basic computer science principles)
Summer Activities:
- I work for my school district’s tech department, setting up the computers for the next school year
- This summer I’ll be taking Calculus BC online
- also, I’ll be getting an IT Certification (CCENT)
Awards (I think these count):
- I think I’m going to be a national merit finalist (not confirmed, but I got a 226 on the PSAT)
- National Honor Society (expected)
- Questbridge College Prep Scholar (expected)
Ethnicity: mixed race (Indian, Caucasian)
Gender: Male
Thanks to everyone who looks at this!
