<p>Anything I should do to help my chances here? MIT seems super awesome. My concern is mostly that my clubs don't show a real interest in science: I actually like chem a lot. I wanted to intern at a lab or something this summer, but since I skipped a grade (plus late birthday) I'm not old enough...</p>
<p>UW GPA: 4.00
W GPA: 4.79
We don't have rank yet, I'm guessing I'd be top 5 in my class at least?</p>
<p>I took AP gov last year (got a 5 on the exam) and I'm doing 5 AP's this year (calc ab, chem, comparative gov, studio art, and world history).</p>
<p>Haven't taken any SATs or SAT II's yet...Eeek, I know. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Young Democrats - VP, we organized a town hall meeting with some local political candidates last year, we went to a big state political dinner/schmoozefest every year. </p>
<p>Mock Trial - was a witness last year, hopefully a lawyer this year? I love mock trial, I'm really looking forward to this year's season.</p>
<p>Amnesty Intl - as a freshman, with the club, we raised about $1000 for tsunami victims. </p>
<p>MSA (muslim student assoc.) - err, I'm actually not muslim, but I'm rather interested in the religion and the culture. I went to a regional MIST competition and got 2nd place in photography last year. Definitely going again this year.</p>
<p>Math Team! - I just joined this year, and I think I'm in love. I told myself I was "bad at math" for a looong time, it turns out I'm not terribly bad at math. :D</p>
<p>Other Misc Things?
I interned with a county executive campaign this summer, I'm really hoping he wins. It was a lot of fun, I got to see how a campaign works...basically lots of paperwork and phone calls, haha.</p>
<p>I'm very into art, as well...I'm taking art at school, and I photograph for fun. I photographed a rally in DC for Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan this summer. I know that no matter where I apply next year, I'm DEFINITELY sending a portfolio.</p>
