<p>Hi everyone, I'm on break right now, so I figured I would take a few minutes to inquire to see if I have a decent shot for some schools that I am looking into. </p>
<p>White, F, competitive public school (sent 9 to Stanford last year, 2 to Harvard, etc)</p>
<p>SAT: 700 math, 720 writing, 730 critical reading (2150)
SAT 2: 760 Math, 750 French, 770 Biology, 690 World History</p>
<p>AP/H classes taken in past/at present (I have taken regular classes in addition to these too*): Algebra 2 H, Trig H, Calc AB AP, Bio H, Bio AP, AP Lang/Comp, Amer. Lit H, World History AP, US History AP, French 4 AP
Next Year's classes: CalcBC AP, Linear Algebra (cc), AP Lit, AP Econ/Gov, Engineering II, French 5, AP Chemistry, AVID tutoring</p>
<p>-top 10% (this is hard since our school does rank only by non-W...so people may take no hard classes and still have a better rank, as opposed to if I get one B...)
W: 4.6 cummulative, junior year: sem1=4.8, sem2=hopefully 5.0
UW: 3.86, this will probably go up though</p>
<p>This spring I am aiming to take a C-programming class at CC</p>
<p>ECs:
1) Varsity Cross Country, Varsity Track (9,10,11,12)
2) Research: Regarding c.elegans at Stanford (neuroscience) (11,12)
3) Science Olympiad president (11,12)
4) FRC Robotics (10,11,12)
5) Speech and Debate (9,10,11,12)
6) Lectoring at Church (10,11,12)
7) Piano (8 years)</p>
<p>Awards/Honors etc:
-Sports:
MVP, TopNewcomer, All-League, competed at state level 3 years, 5:16 mile, 19:40 5K, 2:27 800. I'm going to compete in a 1/2 marathon too.
-Research:
competing in SV Science Fair this spring, aiming to qualify for Intel ISEF, will apply for Intel STS with research next year as well, +Siemens
-Initiative:
founded team, will establish a science book drive, plus Science Week at our school with a symposium+speakers, science demonstrations at local elementary schools
-FRC:
highest team winnings possible, both local/national
-Debate:
high NFL honor</p>
<p>Community service: school ambassador (visit middle schools to talk), city youth commission for 6 years, will be an FLL (robotics) coach this fall maybe, tutoring (inc. AVID tutoring). I have also spoke at city council meetings on issues I feel strongly about in our community.</p>
<p>Summer: built a gokart, running
-Planning to do either Penn BioMed Academy, Stanford SIMR, or JHU/Brown Summer sessions this summer. Plus lab research (already know which lab)</p>
<p>Traits: My friends and teachers would call me a charismatic, witty, determined person. I am a strong public speaker, have a good sense of humor and enjoy telling funny stories, and am determined to do everything I say I will do, on many levels (sports, school, etc). I'm innovative, and often contribute ideas that are of purely my own making. This is visible through my school projects. I'm sure these traits will show in my essays.</p>
<p>So there is your small snapshot of who I am. Now--what would you honestly expect my chances to be? I'm interested in neuroscience/med, as well as politics maybe (future surgeon general? :) and am hoping to run in college (at some schools--others I wouldn't be fast enough). </p>
<p>I understand that chance threads are annoying, but I think that sometimes applicants get good insights from the responses.</p>
<p>I am interested in: MIT, JHU, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Cal Poly, Princeton, Brown, Penn, and Stanford</p>
