I feel left out, too! :P

<p>So I made a chances thread!</p>

<p>I'm thinking of majoring in either Environmental Studies or Environmental Engineering</p>

<p>I'm currently a junior from a competitive public in the northeast</p>

<p>Academics:
GPA: 3.9
WGPA: 4.6
SAT I: 2190 (800 M), retaking for 2250+
SAT II: Bio - 800, Math 2 - 800, taking Chem this spring
AP: Comp Sci A - 5, Bio - 5 (self studied), Enviro - 4 (self studied)
Courseload: most rigorous possible in all areas; skipped one year of math, science, and comp sci; finishing all bio and chem courses this year, so I'll either do independent study or take bio and chem courses at Princeton next year, or a combination of both</p>

<p>EC's:
Environmental Club - President, founder
Debate League - President, Vice President, Varsity team
Tutoring Society - VP, tutor
Amnesty International - Publicity Officer
Model United Nations
French National Honors Society</p>

<p>Current awards include a plaque for NJ Science League, regional finalist for American Legion's National Oratorical Contest, AP Scholar, Varsity debate team, 12th place in National French Examination, and some debate/MUN stuff.</p>

<p>I'm also doing mad stuff this year like USABO, USNCO, USACO, AMC 12, NJ Envirothon, National Ocean Sciences Bowl, NJ Science League, my local ISEF-qualifying science fair, National French Exam, debate competitions, and MUN conferences, plus Columbia Science Honors Program for the fall/winter of senior year.</p>

<p>I was nominated by my school for NJ Governor's School on the Environment (only 1 male nominee per school) as well as NJ Scholars Program (only three nominees per school).</p>

<p>I'm expecting an outstanding rec from my guidance counselor (nominated me for NJ Scholars Program... and she knows how much I love Yale) and good to excellent teacher recs.</p>

<p>My two main passions are environmental science and public issues, but I want to pursue environmental studies in college.</p>

<p>So... what do you guys think? Oh yeah, and I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEEE Yale.</p>

<p>You disgust me.</p>

<p>That's a good thing. For you. Not me.</p>

3

<p>when you say you're doing "mad stuff", has that stuff already come to pass...or are you planning on doing it...</p>

<p>and if so, will it be in time to show Yale?</p>

4

<p>Stuff I'll be doing this year. And I'm a junior, so I'm pretty sure they'll be in time to show Yale. ;)</p>

<p>So by "competitive public in the northeast" do you mean PHS or one of the West Windsors? Because there aren't too many schools that let you take courses in Princeton.</p>
