<p>My stats:
Ethnicity: Native American
Percentile: at school i'm in the top 10-15th percentile, somewhere in that
Grade point Average: 3.86 (unweighted) 4.1 (weighted)
I played soccer for three years, captain for two, lettered.
I am the editor-in-chief of my school paper, and have been on it three years, I was also the News editor and the Features editor as well as Writer of the Year
Also, I have been involved in school clubs like, Bible club, Link Crew, Key club, and Spanish Honors Society...etc.
I have taken three AP exams, passed all three, and I am taking an additional three this year</p>

<p>I am taking the SAT Oct 10, and the ACT Oct 24, for the SAT I am aiming for an 1800-2100 anywhere in that area considering how much more studying time I can fit in</p>

<p>I took two SAT subject tests
US history: 610
Literature:610</p>

<p>Intended Major: History and Political Science</p>

<p>Also, Oct 4 I am going to Dartmouth for a Native Bound program I got accepted into, that's my number one school but I am afraid my academic achievement is less than par for Dartmouth</p>

<p>Other schools I am thinking about are,
UC Berkeley
Northwestern
NYU
Columbia
Georgetown
Michigan State
San Francisco State
San Diego State</p>

<p>If you’re OOS, Berk will be harder to get into because they aren’t as focused on ec’s as they are on the hard numbers (sat, gpa, etc.)</p>

<p>Privates like Dartmouth and Stanford LOVE your URM, you’ve got a way better chance there as long as you score well on your SAT</p>

<p>well i am actually from california, but yeah i heard they are more focused on numbers and my science grades just weigh me down to much, but thanks for the feedback!</p>

<p>I think you’re in everywhere. With an ethnicity like Native American, you should try applying to HYPSM if you can bring that SAT up to a 2100+. Your SAT IIs drag you down though.</p>

5

<p>yeah my only problem is I always freeze up on big tests, nail practices, but when it comes to the real thing I mess up…I really think i’m getting over it though so we’ll see how october goes!</p>

6

<p>LOL, I’m the opposite… I don’t take practice tests seriously enough but I totally focus on the actual thing</p>

<p>I would make SAT study a priority. Shoot for a minimum of 2000. Dartmouth has a big commitment to Native American students, give the decent scores and you’ll have a great shot.</p>
