<p>I'm not sure if I will even apply yet, but I would appreciate any feedback. </p>
<p>-Native American male(URM =) from Oklahoma at a top 300 school. I dont know how. School never sends kids to top schools...one to Duke this year but that was a miracle. </p>
<p>-2100 SAT, 32 ACT</p>
<p>-3.7cum GPA(3.5frosh year), about 3.8 from then on. Rank is iffy:probably top 4-8% if not higher</p>
<p>-AP Scores: All 4's and 5's, but no AP Calc or AP Physics. Hardest was probably AP Chem </p>
<p>-Only 2 years of a foreign language(terrible counselor advice), and math through Pre-Calc(not an option) </p>
<p>-ECs: I have three passions
1. Tennis-I am a nationally ranked tennis player at a top 10 junior club in the US. This takes up a ton of time, and I play on varsity as well-I have been the only player from our team to make it to state..ha we are terrible, but state is actually a big feat here
2.Volunteering-I have volunteered at nursing homes, the art museum, and with cystic fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is something I can relate to from a personal experience(I dont have it..) so it may be an essay topic. I have tons of hours from this.
3. I created my own small business. I buy art when I travel and online, and I have my own website and EBAY page that I sell art and make a good profit. I have made several thousand dollars since sophomore year. It's not virtually unknown either-Advertisements are in the urban magazines and the newspaper.
I am also very involved with the school and student council stuff.. very involved. I'm one of the people who make the stuff happen!</p>
<p>i was starting to get worried until you said that you were a nationally ranked tennis player. I think you have a good shot at getting in b/c.....</p>
<p>1) your an urm.....and</p>
<p>2) they'll want you to play for their tennis team ( maybe) ( are you recruited?)</p>
<p>how high is your national ranking?? i'm also a nationally ranked tennis player and am being recruited by princeton. if you aren't being actively recruited yet, you should really put yourself out there and email the coach etc if you're at least partly depending on your tennis talent to get you in. recruiting really heats up at the national tournaments this summer (now) so you should work on getting noticed before its too late! good luck!!</p>
<p>i mean i won't guarantee it but you've definitely got a real chance and should totally apply. don't get your heart set on it, but you've got as good if not better a chance than most everyone</p>
<p>My national rank is not in the top hundred hbart...unfortunately. However, you know how much of a feat it is to become a nationally ranked player.. I don't think many people have an idea how the point system works and all the other stuff that goes with it..but hey I guess that is the way it is with every passion.. And I am still considering applying!!!</p>
