<p>Hi, I'm a senior now and I want to see where i can get with my high school profile. I might apply for RD.
I go to a private international school, and am an us citizen. (ethnicity: asian)</p>

<p>unweighted GPA: 3.68 (94=A system. Hope this can cover my low gpa a bit)
SAT I: Going to take in Oct. and Nov, but aiming for 2200.
SAT II: Chem 740, Math IIC 750, Bio-M 740</p>

<p>11th grade:
AP Chem (not came out yet)
AP Euro ("")</p>

<p>12th Grade:
AP Cal AB
AP Stats
AP Psychology
AP Art</p>

<p>Other courses:
Took Chinese I & II, Web Design 2 (highest computer course), art for every year, etc...
My gpa isn't good, but my junior year had the highest GPA out of all years, and going to try to do the same in senior year.</p>

<p>EC's:
UNICEF trip to Mongolia, intern/community service at a dental hospital to help illegal immigrants, another com. service at a hospital, varsity tennis team, Chemistry Society president (just at school), Chinese Club vice president (we make chinese magazines for the school), Economics Club (made newspapers and other report papers: worked as a editor/designer), National Art Honor Society, etc..(cant think of any other yet)</p>

<p>Awards: I dont have alot. I just have Honoral Certificates (GPA thing) for every semester, and an art award...</p>

<p>Extra: I'm not going to major in art, but i'm going to send a portfolio to show my ability/interest in art.
And I think i'm going to have one great recommendation (of two), and have great app. essays ready for penn.</p>

<p>Please be honest, but don't be so brutal</p>

<p>Seems like you have a decent shot so far.</p>

<p>Get your grades up and make sure to study hard for your SATs. With a score of 2200+, you'll be in pretty good standing IMO.</p>

3

<p>thx. Anymore opinions?</p>

4

<p>Maybe you shouldn't mention the fact that the immigrants you helped were illegals? A lot of people in this country are not fond of illegal immigration.</p>

5

<p>yea, definitely do notmention the illegal parts.</p>

6

<p>okay..i'll do that but
waht is my chance.. T.T</p>

<p>You have a good chance. If you do mention that you helped illegal immigrants when working at the dentist's office, you could spin it as an essay in which you explain how you feel that all of humanity, regardless of legal status, deserves equal treatment and care. It'll make you look kind and charitable.</p>

8

<p>that could get messy.</p>

9

<p>i agree with ecco, make it vague and say immigations, not illegal or legal. </p>

<p>and say in ur essay that u wanted to help them. but dont talk about their legality</p>

10

<p>anymore comments about my "chance"?</p>

11

<p>you have great chaces :)</p>

<p>Yeah, I'd say decent chances. You'd have a good chance ED, and a decent, fair chance RD (that is, you'd be an average applicant--not horrible, but not special either).</p>

<p>Your chances for getting in depend on what major you're seeking. BME is harder to get into than the other majors.</p>
