<p>I am a white lower middle class female from the central east coast. (I don't want to state the exact location.) Not an underrepresented state so that need not matter. I go to a respectable local public school that isn't really competitive. (In the college sence.) However, I know of one student who got into Yale, one who got into Stanford, and one this year will be going to Columbia. NOTE: I will be in only the 10th graduating class so the school is still relatively young. </p>

<p>Info about school...
Predominantly black...the only time in my life I will be a minority
average SAT score in 950 (old sat)
most graduates (60%) go to local CC college
only 30% go to 2-4 year institutions</p>

<p>Info about me.....
1750 (SAT) will be retaking, but asume it wont change
27 (ACT MOCK)...will be taking in the fall

Don't have any SATII's
Will have 10 AP's by graduation
(u.s. Hist., Lang., lit., world hist., chem., bio., stats., latin lit., euro., and phyc.)
I am taking the hardest coureload of any student in my school, so that is why I don't have a stellar uw GPA.</p>

<p>I just wanted to revise some information I had summited above. I have recently recieved conformation on a few activities for next year.
Here are the changes:</p>

<p>Activities/explanations</p>

<p>Teen court (county)= A court where teens sentence other teens for crimes they have commited. I am part of the jury. This is an important county organization.</p>

<p>NOS school club for Juniors and Senior which aides in helping students find and achive future goals. The sponser let me join a year early. This is the largest school organization.</p>

<p>Junior
Piano (5th year)
Latin club (president)
NOS (member)
NHS (member)
end of year/summer:Teen court </p>

<p>Senior
Piano (6th year)
Latin Club (president)
NOS-this club ended because the sponser left so I created a new club which does similar but more things (I am one of 3 founders).
NHS (treasurer)
Academic club (member)
Teen court (respected postion)
model UN (this club just started)
Newspaper club (also just started; the only way you could be in newspaper before was to enrole in the class and I never had enough space in my schedule.)</p>

<p>I recieved $500 in grant money offered by a military program for community service hours.</p>

<p>Good chance at maryland. Pretty good chance at Dickinson. Smith is unlikely without a good SAT bump (or you can study REALLY hard for your ACT and only submit that score). Bucknell and Bryn Mawr = fairly good chances. </p>

<p>Get an ACT score around 31 and you have a good chance at all of them. (Except maybe Smith). Study for ACT!!</p>
