<p>Hi guys, this is my first post on the CC forums.
I am a junior at a school in Connecticut. It was recently named a Vanguard school, the only public HS in the state to receive that honor.
-My GPA is 3.96 UW
-Third in my class
-I have taken 2 AP classes so far, Bio in sophomore year and US History in Junior year (got 5 on both). I am taking 5 AP's in Senior year.
-SAT's (it pains me to post these scores) 750M, 650 R, 640W 10E, I can definitely get these up esp. reading and writing, I took the it the first time dry.
-SAT2's 780 Molec. Bio, 760 Math 2, 660 US Hist
-In all three years I have taken honors classes for every class it was available.
-I recieved the Science Award for my grade in sophomore year.
-I am doing an Independent Study in C++ programming in senior year.
-EC's: Junior and Senior class treasurer, Spanish Honors Society, NHS junior (will be president in senior year), sports all three years so far, every season too, I have been in the Civil Air Patrol for 5 years (.: The Civil Air Patrol :.) and currently hold a rank that is equivalent to an Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts (CAP is a civilian auxiliary of the Air Force).</p>
<p>I think I want to be an engineer (electrical or biomed) or something like Molec. Bio or Biochem.</p>
<p>My rough list of schools so far is Worcester Poly Tech, Renssalaer, Cornell, UConn, Brown, Northeastern, Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>I may not have a good balance of safeties, matches and reaches but if you have any suggestions let me know!
Thanks all.</p>
