Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Chance me please. I am a high school junior. I have a 4.3 on a 4.0 scale (3.98 unweighted). I'm retaking the ACT this December. I am ranked 20 in a class of 530. A few of my literary works were published in our school's literary magazine. Also, I am president of our school's Diversity Club, NHS, and co-founder/vice president of Creativity Club (formerly the corresponding secretary of History Club and a member of Art Club, but both of them were canceled last year. I participate in competitive artistic roller skating and practice about three hours six days per week, with this I have won eight national and regional metals and this year I won Leslie Elder Michigan Skater of the Year. For community service (I do at least 11 hours/week), I work as an assistant for my former chemistry teacher once a week, I volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society every weekend, I teach a roller skating for beginner and advanced classes, and I volunteer and job shadow at the hospital near my house (which is nationally ranked) every Friday. Also, last summer I did a medical program at Michigan Tech, this summer I will probably do a study/volunteer abroad or something like that. Currently, I am looking for a college that has small class sizes, a great pre med program, a diverse student body, and that does not take a miracle to get in.</p>

<p>Classes: Jr yr: (I took AP US History sophomore year) AP Gov, Honors English, Independent Study: Physiology, Genetics/Evolution, Advanced Journalism, Alg 2, French 3</p>

<p>Tenative classes for Sr yr: AP English, AP Bio, AP Physics, Psychology, Epidemology, French 4, Pre Calc/Trig
My prospective schools: Northwestern, Oberlin, Kenyon, U of Chicago, Kalamazoo... feel free to add more!</p>

<p>Looks like you're into the cream of the Great Lakes area privates. Might want to look at Carlton, Macalaster, Beloit, Lawrence U.</p>

<p>I encourage you to visit as many schools as possible as soon as possible and as often as possible. You will get a great vibe from some, and a horrible vibe from others (based on the architecture, the students, the surrounding area, and inexplicable other reasons). It will help if you can eliminate a few based just on the vibe factor, as it will allow you to concentrate on the ones you really like.</p>
