<p>I'm currently a junior attending a public school (about 2800 students) in a small urban area in PA. I currently just plan on studying for SATs and ACTs but I don't plan on trying to stock up on ECs. My possible majors are: political science, economics, finance, or international relations. I prefer to stay around the east coast.</p>
<p>Chances for: Ivys (specifically Princeton, Harvard, and UPenn), Georgetown, Duke, Dartmouth, Lehigh, Vanderbilt, Stanford, and American Uni.</p>
<p>-GPA: weighted- 4.52 unweighted- i think it's around 3.7 or 3.8 This next semester however will definitely boost it.</p>
<p>-Rank: 32/630 top 5%</p>
<p>-SATs: 1830 CR-570 M:670 W:590 (I know, it's bad. However I took this during Sophomore year and it was my first and only attempt so far. Now I range between 2100 and 2300 on practice tests. I just don't have money to take it again yet)</p>
<p>-ACTs: Will take them in Feb. I've just started studying for them and they aren't bad. Got a 29 on my first practice test, haven't tried another one yet.</p>
<p>-Courses: All honors freshman and sophomore year
APs: sophomore-U.S. History(got a 4 without studying)
junior- Physics B, English Lang., Calc AB and BC, World History, and Government
as a senior I'll have- English Lit, Macroecon., Spanish, Chemistry (possibly Bio) I also plan on dual enrolling two courses at Lehigh senior year. </p>
<p>-EC: I'm afraid this is what will get me rejected at top schools. I am in NO clubs or school activities. I've been asked to join things like NHS but I just don't want to. I do volunteer at hospitals, elderly care homes, animal shelters, schools, and soup kitchens. I'd rather spend my time doing that than stay after school in a club. If I want to work with the public, I hope this will prove my dedication more than dozens of clubs.</p>
<p>-Other Hobbies: I read and write a lot, I specifically write plays. I draw and paint, however I'm not amazing. I've been working on a novel since Freshman year and I've been searching for ways to reinvent the modern engine. Hoping to actually do some physical work with that this summer. </p>
