<p>Hey all, I've already sent in all my applications but I was still wondering how I may do...I'm a Pakistani student in Texas at a Newsweek Top 100 High School</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.4
W GPA: 4.2</p>
<p>SAT: 1500 / 2110
ACT: 31
SAT II: 750 Math II, 740 Physics, 650 Biology E</p>
<p>Rank: 110/550 (Top 20%)
I've taken all the hardest courses possible, 10 APs total by the time I graduate</p>
<p>I think my essays are pretty good, my main essay was about dealing with my cousin being kidnapped and having to go through the entire trauma of the kidnappers asking for a ransom, trying to communicate with the rest of my family (throughout the world) to try and get everything figured out, and eventually having soldiers from the army save him (he's ok now!). The rest of my essays should be at least decent. A NYU specific one was very well received by whoever I showed it to so I guess that is good.</p>
<p>Awards:</p>
<p>National Merit Commended, AP Honor with Distinction, National Latin Exam Maxima Cum Laude</p>
<p>ECs:</p>
<p>I think they're above average, they include over 300 hours of leadership activities, another 100 of religious community service, Relay for Life, and some other stuff like NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, and some school clubs.</p>
<p>Oh, and some further clarification: I'm applying with Neuroscience as my first choice major and Business as my second choice. And also for recs I have a teacher with a PhD who knows me pretty well write mine for me. As far as I know he also did some research at WashU...I'm not sure if that helps my case at all though.</p>
<p>I know my UW GPA and rank are awfully low but I'm hoping I still have a shot...thanks in advance!</p>
