<p>I’m in an Academy type program within a public school for students interested in health sciences, so I take courses like Pathophysiology and Microbiology in addition to regular high school classes. I’m also a VA state certified EMT.</p>

<p>I have 200 or so hours volunteer work teaching horseback riding to elementary school aged children (including 100 with mentally handicapped kids) and now do so for pay. I’m a camp counselor during the summer.</p>

<p>I’m varsity captain of my school’s Scholastic Bowl team (also called quiz bowl, college bowl, etc in other places) and will be joining (and likely captaining) the debate team this year.</p>

<p>I’m on the city’s Mayor’s Youth Council and attended by invitation a meeting with the Governor on the state of high school education. Last summer I attended the Governor’s Foreign Language Academy for German Immersion.</p>

<p>I do have 2 rather serious holes in my record - a C in Calculus my junior year, and a few Bs (and one C) in credit courses I took in middle school (algrebra-C, Earth science and geometry-B)</p>

<p>SAT:
CR: 800
math: 680
writing: 710
essay: 10</p>

<p>taking 2 SATIIs and the ACT in October…</p>

<p>Eek, need to get the math scores up if you're going into science.</p>

<p>will low math scores keep me from getting in, though?</p>

<p>bump......</p>

<p>possibly. math is basically a given for most people.</p>

<p>basically a given for most people? you mean all accepted applicants are expected to be excellent in math? I kind of doubt that...</p>
