<p>Any help would be awesome :)</p>
<p>Me: Indian, female, junior, from a rather well off area (not rich, but upper middle class). My school is extremely competitive (one of the top public schools in the nation)</p>
<p>GPA: (as of first semester junior year)
unweighted: 4.00 (in my high school, any type of A is a 4)
Weighted(UC): 5.00</p>
<p>Rank: top 10% (my school doesn't release rankings, but I'm definitely up there)</p>
<p>SAT: 2400</p>
<p>PSAT: 236 this year; 240 last year</p>
<p>SATII:
Chem: 790
Biology: 790
Planning on taking US History, English, and Math II (Math II should be high 700s, maybe 800; aiming for same range in others)</p>
<p>APs/Honors: (my school does not offer APs until junior year--I have taken on the heaviest courseloads possible)
Freshman: Honors Geometry, Honors English, Honors Biology
Sophomore: Honors English, Honors Algebra II/Trig, Honors Chemistry
Junior: APUSH, Honors English, AP French, Honors Precalculus, AP Biology, AP Statistics
Senior: Finite/Discrete Mathematics (not an AP, but gives 7 college credits), AP English, AP Physics B, AP Calculus BC, possibly AP Psych (still debating it)</p>
<p>My school does not offer AP Gov't or AP Econ, but I will be taking one of those AP exams next year, most likely econ</p>
<p>ECs:
-I am an active member in my church. I am a youth group leader and am a member of my parish council (which has only 10 people, including the priests -- very few people are given this opportunity, least of all teens)
-I started a non-profit organization (not named for privacy's sake) -- this involved a number of tv, magazine, newspaper, and radio interviews
-Member of CSF (will be VP next year) -- California Scholarship Federation
-Member of Med Explorers
-Member of Speech and Debate club -- I have been doing LD debate for 3 years and have been in a lot of tournaments; I will be doing speech in addition next year
-Vice President of National French Honors Society, which was just started this year
-I have been playing the piano for eleven years now, and am currently preparing for the final level of the Certificate of Merit exam (There are ten levels, and I just passed the ninth)
-I work as a tutor for two kids (I tutor in chemistry)</p>
<p>Volunteer hours: I did 200+ hours volunteering for the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop (Did a lot of work as a cashier). I am now volunteering for an old elementary school teacher (Have probably gotten 20-30 hours from it, but I'm still continuing). This spring break, I will be volunteering at science camp, so I will get 100 hours from that. In my school, you get an award if you do 300 hours of service</p>
<p>Major: Biomedical Engineering, with the hopes of going to med school afterwards</p>
<p>Colleges I'm looking for: Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, USC (especially the eight year med program), Harvey Mudd, UC Berkeley, UCLA (Actually, all of the UCs if possible)</p>
<p>I would also appreciate any suggestions for colleges that might fit me well. I am seriously considering liberal arts colleges because of my interest in applying to med programs afterwards, but I am not very familiar with them, so any recommendations would be amazing.</p>
<p>I am also aware that my profile isn't that great, so I know that I am probably not going to get into Stanford or other top colleges like that, which is why I am looking for ideas.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
