<p>I am getting ready to put together my applications for some of the top schools in the nation. (If this means anything, I am half black, half Puerto Rican.) Despite all of the positivity I have been receiving from family and friends, I am running low on confidence. My top choice is Stanford University. The campus is beautiful and I adore the west coast. My second choice is Cornell and third is Harvard. Please look over some of my basic info and let me know what my chances are and what I should improve on:</p>

SAT Subj.: Chem: 710 Math I: 740 Spanish: 760

I am also a student ambassador, NHS member, StuCO...the whole nine yards.
I lettered in varsity track my sophomore year, but had to quit due to knee injuries...

I have been volunteering at my church every other weekend for the past six years...
I plan to volunteer weekends at my local hospital...
ABOVE ALL THIS! I am a year younger than my fellow classmates as I started school a year early... I will be 16 until the very end of senior year(: </p>
