1

<p>Hi, I'm a female Asian who goes to a crazy competitive high school. I'm a 2006 junior and have not taken all of my SATs yet...so here's what I have so far!</p>

<p>GPA: unweighted 3.97, weighted: 4.5
SATI: Expecting 2100-2200...:\
SATIIs: Chinese - 790, Chemistry - 670 (will retake!!)
* What other SATs should I take, other than Math IIC? My math/science is not strong but the Lit will not be appropriate pre-AP English (only available to seniors)...any suggestions??
EC: Very good, some leadership positions (will be prez for California Scholarship Federation senior year) in oncampus clubs and national youth organizations.
I want to major in... journalism/communications/politics/marketing/advertising...errm hahah obviously undecided but somewhere around theree...</p>

<p>So are any of these possible?:
NYU (would LOVE to go there! there is one school..don't remember the name but it's perfect for my interests :])
Washington U
Amherst
Boston University
Georgetown
Carnegie Mellon
Williams
Northwestern
Dartmouth
- other private liberal arts! </p>

<p>Also UCs? UCLA? Davis, San Diego, ext...</p>

<p>Please give me feedback...reading the stats of CC users gets me VERY depressed</p>

<p>a:salk;lkka :]]]. helloooo? hahaha no one readss my posts huhh</p>

<p>okkk just kidding 23 ppl read and no one replied! -__-</p>

<p>Your GPA is plenty fine, your ECs are impressive, and your scores aren't half bad. Up that Chemistry a bit. Any APs? Make sure you score well on your AP exams, and you'll be a competetive applicant at any of those schools.</p>

6

<p>I'd say you're pretty good, I'm hoping to go to UCSD I think. Or an Ivy, how come you haven't thought of many of those? Can you post in my thread now?</p>

<p>there is nothing wrong with her list. Amherst, Williams are Ivy -Caliber (better than some of them), Northwestern, Washington (st.Louis) are also Ivy-caliber, and Dartmouth is a part of the ivy league; it seems that she likes east-coast schools.</p>

<p>As far as the Jounalism go, nothing can beat Medill school of journalism of Northwestern; this one is the hardest school in Northwestern U. to get into. If you are set on journalism, doing ED will greatly help you out.</p>

<p>Washington U - reach
Amherst - reach
Boston University - safety/match
Georgetown - matchish reach (depends on the major)
Carnegie Mellon - good match
Williams - reach
Northwestern - matchish reach
Dartmouth - reach
NYU CAS - match/safety
NYU STERN - matchish reach</p>

<p>Amherst/Dartmouth/Williams have low asian-population compared to other top-notch schools. This might help you out :).</p>

<p>Sorry for what I said then, what's Williams? I've never heard of that one.</p>

9

<p>It's the number one LAC in the country.</p>

10

<p>Oh well that explains it, I'm not going for liberal arts.</p>

<p>I thought the number one LAC was Amherst.</p>

12

<p>Texasmathwhiz, it's okay. Most Texans don't know much about LACs :). (including me, til i applied to one of them)</p>

13

<p>haha yay :) thanks for the replies!
aignam, my APs this year include Chemistry and US History
next year: Govt, Calc BC, Bio, French</p>

<p>our school actually only offers chemistry, bio, us history, calc, govt, french, spanish and comp sci. they cut...pysch, statistics and music theory...we are a pooor pooor public school.</p>

<p>i will also be taking 2-3 college courses over summer and might (HOPEFULLY!) get to intern! :]</p>

<p>what ivy league liberal arts would you guys recommend?
and hopemanjkjk, yah i like eastcoast schools..even though i live in cali. haha.</p>

14

<p>oops forgot to include AP Lit for senior year as well...
our school has a weird policy...govt and lit AP are only available senior year and we have no such thing as history or lit honors..also this year we don't even have a French AP but with enough students they're resurrecting it next year. haha a little pitiful :&lt;/p>

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>You look good for most of these, obviously Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst are hard for anyone but you have a good shot.</p>

<p>Others? Check out Middlebury as a match, its a great place. Also Vassar and maybe Emory as matches.</p>

16

<p>thank you guys for the support :]]</p>

<p>can you guys think up a list of matches or safeties for me? </p>

<p>here are some details of my ECs because ECs may be my stronger area:
- Treasurer of San Jose's Youth Advisory Council (in connection to the City Government)
- Education Chair for March of Dimes' Chain Reaction Leadership Council
- Activities Coordinator and Prez for California Scholarship Federation
- Executive Assistant for Key Club
- Team Captain for Good Samaritan Hospital Auxiliary volunteers
- NonFiction Editor (and possibly Editor-in-Chief next yr) for school's Literary Magazine.</p>

<p>i'm not sure which ones of these are actually worthy of putting on my resume and which ones are just dead weight.</p>

<p>for some unknown reason, i'm drawn to ivy league liberal arts...what do you guys think?</p>

<p>thank you again! this has been very helpful!!</p>
