<p>I'm a male virginia resident, and I'm also white. I'd like to know what you guys think of my chances. I know my current SAT score isn't amazing, but I hope my high GPA, my performance compared to everyone else in my school, and my ECs will make me a good contender. I also hope to change that 1970 into a number that begins with 2 =D.</p>
<p>SAT: 1970/2400, 1290/1600 (first try, no studying. retaking in october so I expect 2050+)
UW GPA for core academic courses: 3.82/4
W GPA for core academic courses: 4.35/5
School doesn't rank, but they send a school profile. My GPA would put me comfortably in the top 10% of my class.</p>
<p>AP Courses by end of high school: Chemistry, Euro History (5), US History (4), Language and Comp (5), Literature, US Government (school offers very few AP classes).
All other non-AP courses were honors since the beginning of freshman year. So I will have about 16-20 honors and AP courses by the end of high school.</p>
<p>EC's include:
- Physics peer tutor (this year, signing up to also be a chemistry, U.S. and Euro History, and French tutor)
- National Honors Society
- National French Honors Society
- editor-in-chief for a division of a popular website
- co-manager of another online organization for 1 year
- black belt in martial arts
- co captain on school's Georgetown University History Bowl team
- co founder of school's quiz bowl team (finalizing everything this fall, have enough people to start it up as well as a supervising teacher. currently filling out school paperwork)
- chess club
- hundreds of volunteering hours at fundraising events and charity work</p>
