Chances Please!!

<p>Hello everyone, i recently started checking out U chicago, in fact I will be there in a week, i really love the school but i know its really tough.</p>

<p>Location: Large Public High School in SC 2300 + students</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Indian</p>

<p>GPA/Rank: 4.0 UW and 5.1 W Rank 3/510
I will have taken 14 AP's by graduation.</p>

<p>SAT/SAT II's:</p>

<p>This is my weakest part of the application and I know will be the decider, just like the other kid on this forum.</p>

<p>SAT: 1320/1980 - I am going to take one more time, but I like to expect the worse</p>

<p>SAT II's: 760 - US History, 710 Biology</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars: (strongest part of my application)</p>

<p>*I am the Youth Governor of South Carolina's Youth In Government Program, i serve over 1200 students all over the state and I have made significant changes to the program that will last throughout the program.</p>

<p>*Speech and Debate, I served last year as Captain of the largest team in SC, winning 3 state championships. I won 1 state championship this past year and I have qualified to the National Forensic League Nationals 2 times in a row.</p>

<p>*Boy Scouts, I am currently working on my Eagle Project in order to attain my Eagle Badge. I am working with the Red Cross, running a community-wide drive to collect stuff for "care-packages"
As a Boy Scout I am currently serving as a Den Chief, i go to Cub-Scout meetings and lead a Den every Monday, I also served as several leadership positions in my troop.</p>

<p>*Youth Leadership Greenville, A selective leadership program that lasted 1 year, i recently graduated, it is run by the Chamber of Commerce.</p>

<p>*Vision 2020 for Science, A selective group of students were chosen to design a state of the art science facility in our community, the project will be completed in December, and we all get scholarships along with it.</p>

<ul>
<li>Beta Club and National Honors Society - Basic service and volunteer clubs, nothing important.</li>
</ul>

<p>Basically with my EC's i like to stress Leadership and Service in everything I have done in high school, all my activities represent that. And as a leader, I go beyond serving, I try to implement changes that last.</p>

<p>As you can see my EC's and GPA/Rank are good but my SAT 1320 is what I am really worried about. Does anyone have any comments, or anything that will be of benefit to me, thanks a lot.</p>

<p>You certainly have the stats to get in. Tufts looks at everything & tries to put together a diverse class. Let them know what is special about you ... what stands out. That will help differentiate you from all the others with great stats. And remember that no one can tell you for sure if you wll or will not be accepted. Do your best on the application & sit tight until April.</p>

<p>thanx kelsmom, btw i didnt mean u of chicago at the top, i dunno why i put that instead of tufts</p>

<p>it says u of chicago because you keep copying and pasting the same thing on different forums...</p>
