<p>I think my essays are very good, and I have been editing them with the head of the English department at my school, who thinks they are great as well. I wrote my activity essay about writing the crossword puzzle for the paper, which seemed to be a selling point in my Wake Forest interview. Hopefully it is for other colleges too!</p>

<p>My recommendations are from my English teacher junior year and my math teacher who has had me for 2 years in Calc BC and Multivar.
Also, I am sending an additional recommendation from my Band teacher, because I plan on continuing the trumpet in college. I know these teachers very well, and they were very enthused to be writing me a rec.</p>

<p>Could you please chance me at:
Georgetown: (Early Action) I am applying under the Biology of Global Health major (Top Choice)
Vanderbilt: Regular Decision
Dartmouth RD
Penn:RD
Cornell: RD
Michigan:EA
Duke : RD
Boston College: EA

For most of the other schools, I am applying either as a chemistry major or a biochemistry major</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>How do you have a nearly perfect GPA and still be around the 5-10%? Seems like there might be some grade inflation. Anyways, it seems like you have a good chance at most most of your schools. Good ACT and GPA. Strong candidate. Good luck!

<p>That is actually my weighted GPA. I do have very good grades, but we have the potential to get above a 5.0 GPA, although it is rare.</p>
