Ranked 8 of 230 (top 4%)
Academic scholarship awards for every year of high school, academic honor in 12th grade. Highest honor for dedication to service to drama (leadership positions). Over 500 hours of community service. </p>

<p>Very original essay (pretty good I thought), good teacher's recs (one said i was in the top 100 math students in the country). </p>

<p>My stats will be compared to other South African applicants, I think. Does this boost my chances because there aren't that many from SA.</p>

<p>Duke
Cornell
JHU
U of Rochester
Washington U in St. Louis</p>
