<p>I was hoping for some thread title that would attract you guys... it didn't go so well...
Anyway....</p>
<p>Here's my situation:
GPA: 3.7 W ~3.5 UW
ACT: 29
SAT: 1850 (Retaking next week)</p>
<p>I'm in the top 10% of my class of about 250. I'm at a magnet school in Arkansas.</p>
<p>APs:
World History (3)
US history: (5)
Calc AB (3)
Biology (4)
English lang (3)
Physics B (3)</p>
<p>This year I'm taking Calc BC, Chem English Lit, Econ, and Psych.</p>
<p>ECs:
Quiz bowl
Marching Band (only this year)
Debate (Big one. I'm literally, the #1 debater in the state. I've been captain the last two years.)</p>
<p>I've gotten lots of debate awards, and a few other misc. awards. I'm in national honor society, and a member of People to People International.
There's probably one or two other tiny things I'm forgetting.</p>
<p>And, my essays will be great. </p>
<p>I'm going to be a physics major.</p>
<p>The schools I'm looking at are:
U. Illinois-Urbana
U. Michigan
Northwestern
Georgia Tech
U. Colorado - Boulder
U. Maryland-College Park
Purdue</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! I wish I could say more then just 'thanks', but I don't know what I'd say.
Thanks again.</p>
