*Mathfest Participant (will have 4 years)
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 150-175 volunteer hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*Right now I get about a 1920-2050 on the SAT, 28-30 on ACT according to Practice Tests for SAT, and the PLAN (it's like the PSAT for SAT except the ACT version) on ACT, but I'm shooting for at least a 2100 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT. Don't count on me getting a 2100 or a 32 because its not going to happen as far as I can tell right now</p>

<p>There is turing scholars (for comp sci) and deans scholars for natural sciences.</p>

<p>In my opinion the PLAN test really isn't that great of a gauge for how you'll do on the ACT. They had predicted that I'd get 27-29. I walked in without studying and got a 32 in every category. This doesn't mean you should expect to do significantly better, but you definitely have the opportunity to murder it once you take it.</p>

<p>im a first year student at UT and i'm from out of state. i had a similar gpa to yours but my sat score was over 2100. you seem like you have alot of extracurricular activities as well so write good essays and im sure you'll be fine. your tough courseload and gpa should make you competitive.</p>
