<p>Heya! I'm personally interested in Chemistry and Mathematics... let me know what you think!</p>

<p>Public High School
GPA: 3.9/4 UW, 7.8/8.3 W (Weird scale, huh?)
Rank: 2/280
SAT I: 750 CR 780 M 710 W
SAT II: 740 Chem 800 Math II
AP: Chemistry (5)
English Lit (Senior Year)
Calc AB (Senior Year)
Physics B (Senior Year)
.....my school doesn't offer much!</p>

<p>Stuff worthy of note:
-I have recieved a Maxime Cum Laude on the National Latin Exam each year
-Math Team since Sophomore year. Junior year, second highest scoring Junior in the tri-state league. Currently acting as a tri-captain 8-)
-Started a Destination Imagination program at the school with a friend freshman year. Last year, we were able to start a second team and mentor them! Last year, we also won the highest award, the Da Vinci award.
-National Honor Society Member
-87 Hours of Community Service
-Winnacore (basically a community service honor society)
-I work for a Summer Camp in the Summer as a counselor. I do various, community-related things for the department throughout the year.</p>

<p>I plan on writing my essay about how camp taught me to take initiative. I will also be asking for supplemental letters from the DI director and Math Team Coach!</p>

<p>Schools:
BC (EA)
Northwestern
U Chicago (EA)
Johns Hopkins
U Maryland</p>

<p>My guidance counselor also wants me to look at Ivys, how about them?</p>

2

<p>I'm pretty sure you're in at BC, UChicago (with EA), and Maryland, and you have a good chance at NU and JH. Ivies would be harder though.</p>

3

<p>Thanks. What three Ivys do you guys think I would have the best shot at?</p>

4

<p>Cornell
Brown
Dartmouth</p>

5

<p>NW, Ivies,Chicago,Hopkins:Reach</p>

6

<p>Are you from NJ? What us this tri-state league called? NJ Catholic Math League?</p>

7

<p>no to both.</p>

8

<p>Penn, Columbia, Dartmouth, and Brown are about equally selective. Cornell a little less selective. I think you have a shot at all of them. I'd also consider adding Duke to the list.</p>

9

<p>Winnacore really isn't THAT impressive since you only need 50 hours to get in.</p>

10

<p>haha! please tell me you go to my school.</p>

11

<p>BC (EA)- You should be in.
Northwestern- You should be in.
U Chicago (EA)- Slight reach I believe.
Johns Hopkins- Good chance.
U Maryland- You will be in.</p>

<p>I would say that you are almost automatically in at U Maryland. And you should get accept EA to BC, and prehaps to U of chicago.</p>

<p>I think your application is quite strong, however I think your essay topic unless you have a good twist could be a little overdone. I am also writing something about my summer experience, etc., but it is something very unique and only I could write about. I would prehaps try to make your essay really show the true you. :)</p>

<p>Good luck, but you should not worry!</p>

12

<p>Toast - Maybe ;)</p>

<p>ahh! that's exciting!</p>
