Desperate 09'er seeking for advice!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Thanks for clicking on my thread.
As I was reading through all the others' posts, I began worrying about my own future path. So I chose to seek aids from you... so help!</p>

<p>I am an Asian-American boy(citizenship US, but lived in South Korea for my entire life), and an 09'er.</p>

<p>Our school is a relatively competitive international school. </p>

<p>So my stats are...</p>

<p>SAT1 = did not take it yet. Around +2150 expected.
SAT2 = Chem 790, MathIIC 800, Biology M 750, Physics 750. (planning to take Korean on November [probably 800])
APs this year = Chemistry, Biology, Psychology
APs next year = Physics, Calculus AB, Environmental Science, Statistics</p>

<p>Our school does not calculate GPAs. We use percentage system.
9th = 92.3, 93.4 (semesters)
10th = 94.0, 95.1
11th: 93.3, ~93.2
Total averages around... 93.5%
We do not show exact class ranking, but more like top25%, top50%, top10%. I think I'm around top 15%. (class size 100)</p>

<p>ECs</p>

<p>So my ECs are very distinctive (?)- Communal work/ Music/ Athletics</p>

<p>-National Honor Society (vp this year, possibly pres next year)</p>

<p>-Community Service Committee (vp this year, president next year for sure)3yrs
-Foreign workers help center (computer teaching / hospital works) 2yrs
-UNICEF (went to Cambodia twice, annually) 2yrs
-Habitat for humanity (not sure of the hours..) 3 yrs
-Out-of-school ->
--------teaching handicapped students how to play clarinet (had a concert in a big concert hall) 1yr
--------organizing birthday parties for alone, old people</p>

<p>-Jazz Band (drummer / bassist) 3yrs
-Orchestra (percussionist) 1yr
-Drama musical crew 2yrs
-UNICEF fundraiser concerts
-Have my own jazz/funk band. Made an album (not only covers) that sounds pretty decent.</p>

<p>-Varsity Soccer 4 years (possibly co-captain in my senior year)
-Varsity Volleyball 2 years (JV 1 year)
Not an AMAZING athlete, though</p>

<p>My college list goes...</p>

<p>Stanford (Legacy: parent [grad] and sibling [undergrad currently going])
UC Berkeley
University of Washington, Seattle (Legacy: sibling [undergrad])
Northwestern
NYU
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Rice
Boston University (medical guarantee program)
U. of Rochester (medical guarantee program)
Texas A&M
Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>My essential dream school is Stanford. I am planning to attend the Summer EPGY program (is anyone going? haha). What's my chance?</p>

<p>And thanks all for reading my long thread.</p>

<p>Your long threads great but you havent mentioned the majors you are interested in.</p>

<p>If it is engineering, stanford is a low match. even though you have legacy there, your extra curriculars arent science related. For engineering schools, you need good science related ecs.</p>

<p>TAMU would be a safety independent of the major.</p>

<p>It looks like OP is interested in the medical field (in which case he could still use some science ECs).</p>

<p>At the same time, you've taken every science-related AP available to you (by the looks of it) and scored well on several science subject tests. Just do your best to finish out the year with the highest GPA and SAT score possible (although of course you'll do that already).</p>
