I am currently a freshmen enrolled in one of America’s top STEM high schools. I was wondering if my academic/EC record is impressive enough for me to try for top colleges like Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, etc.
-5 regional Scholastic Writing Awards (2 gold, 3 honorable mentions, still waiting on national results >.<)
-High School Varsity Tennis Team (my high school’s tennis team is the best in the state, but I’m not a starter)
-currently self-studying 3 APs although I obviously don’t know how well I’ll do on the tests
-Obviously this won’t go on a college application but just to give you an idea: last year in 8th grade I took the SAT and got 1470/1600, this year I took PSAT/NMSQT test and got 1490/1520. In general I have always received perfect scores on all at-grade-level standardized tests, such as the PARCC.
-have been playing piano for 9 years now, performed in Toronto last summer and will perform in Montreal this summer
-My school doesn’t do class rank but I most likely have the highest GPA in the grade (98.98 (was 99.6 for two months but then dropped after midterms ;-;))
-AIME qualifier this year (117 on 10A), but only did 2 questions on AIME >.<
