<p>Yale, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, JHU, Cal:</p>

<p>4.17 GPA (weighted) 11 APs, 6 college-level courses: transferable to Cal, usable for adv. standing in all others. 6 AP tests taken, 5 5's and 1 4. Lots of extracurriculars, show focus and diversity of interests pursued. Essays not scintillating, barely qualify as witty. ACT 32, SAT 2290 essay 11. Lots of community service, teachers think I'm great.
English is not my first language, single-parent family, low-income.
What do you think?</p>
