<p>Right now I'm a high school sophomore. But the information listed is what I anticipate will happen, so please base it off of that. :3</p>
<p>Cumulative unweighted gpa: Either a 3.3, or at most 3.4 (I really do mean at most, that's the absolute highest i could get it).
Good amount of challenging classes; Not all honors, but most, and a LOT of IB classes.
SATs: 2050
ACT: 29
Recommendations: Good ones. ;)

<p>Employment:
Thus far I work a little teaching Sunday school, and will have one year as a counselor at our Temple's summer program.</p>
<p>Additional:</p>
<p>I performed an aliyah and spent a high school semester (four months) on a kibbutz with other Jewish teens doing NFTY's EIE.</p>
<p>I have won many writing awards and a couple performing awards.</p>
<p>I have a website up with songs, stories, poems, and essays.</p>
<p>I have a lot of volunteer, misc. social activism hours.</p>
<p>Brandeis is my dream school. I don't want to say I have my heart set on it, but I'd REALLY like to go. I have many friends there, and it seems like my sort of place. Despite what my grades might show, I'm highly intellectual, but given my school's mindset on competition and complete apathy to actual intelligent discussion I kinda became bored.</p>
<p>So do I have ANY chance? If so, how can I improve it (mind you I can't get my GPA up any more than I have listed)?</p>
