<p>Extreme involvement on newspaper staff (news editor, managing editor, circulation manager); our newspaper is a National Pacemaker newspaper; Pacemaker is the equiv. of a Pulitzer Prize for high school journalism</p>
<p>One of three students to receive a student grant from the Naperville Education Foundation for an artsy project/club entailing the reproduction of classic pieces of art in a grid-like process. A work of art is divided into a grid so that students can take a part of the piece and reproduce it. In the end, we put it together and see how it came together. Get it? The club is called Mosaique.</p>
<p>Involved at the hospital that I volunteer at.</p>
<p>Anything else you want to know?</p>
<p>I want to get involved with a student publication, preferrably the most popular newspaper or newsmagazine, and would like to major in biology.</p>
<p>I just talked with someone who was waitlisted at Wash U. He had a 30 ACT score and he said that the midwest advisor for Wash U said that the school has been flooded with applicants with 34-36 ACT scores...So you might want to retake the ACT and the SAT tests.</p>
<p>No! Go for it! But, if you are applying early decision it might be too late. My son was admitted last year regular decision and he got a 34 on his ACT and a 1500 on the SAT...</p>
<p>I think Wash U looks at the whole package, while grades are important, the person matters too. You are going to love Wash U!
Orientation is a BLAST (for the parents too)!!!!</p>
<p>bah, grades aren't that bloody important. i mean i topped out on all my standardized stuff but that didn't get me into princeton or harvard (not that i applied). seriously, SAT and ACT are really overrated (unless u completely bomb it)</p>
