<p>Basic Info:
White Male from small town outside of Pittsburgh
Public School. Current Junior. (Don't know if it helps but my school rarely has people apply to top schools - last year 2 people went to CMU rest went to small local schools)</p>
<p>Rankings:
I'm currently 3/190 but will probably graduate 2nd.
I have 4.1 but my school doesn't offer many AP Classes and Honors classes aren't waited much. I still take the hardest classes my school has to offer and I get all A's with the exception of English which is either a low A or very high B. My GPA will probably go up to a 4.2 senior year.</p>
<p>Classes:
Senior year I will be in:
AP Calc II ... My school actually had to create this class for me and 2 other students.
AP English
Physics II
French III
AP Chem
Psych/Econ</p>
<p>SATs:
My big downfall. I have only taken them once and got 600's across the board with a 10 on the essay. I know I can do better than this and will be taking them at least 2 more times along with the Lit and Math II Subject Tests. I'm aiming for a 1900-2000 min. I also just retook the SAT today and confident that I got around a 700 on the math (would be higher if it wasn't for some very stupid mistakes). I'm confident that I can get 700+ Math, 600-650 Reading and Writing if not this time but next.</p>
<p>Others:
I'm taking Calc I for college credits from University of Pitt and will do the same next year with Calc II. I also applied to the Pennsylvania Governor's School for Global Entrepreneurship this summer and am hoping I get accepted. If I don't I'm going to take a Statistics class at Pitt.</p>
<p>I'm involved in French Club, TFIM (student career exploration program and helped organize a career fair for my school -- first one we ever had), Guitar Club (Vice-Pres), school academic competition team, golf team, Boy Scouts, History Club, Junior Engineering Technical Society and I created a stock-market competition to be held at our school for about 15 high schools in the area. Senior year I will be in the NHS. I have also accumulated around 85 service hours.</p>
<p>I'm very confident in my essays and teacher recs. I also don't know if this helps but my school won't have any applicants to any of the schools I'm applying.</p>
