<p>I'm a little bit strange, since I'm applying as an 11th grader, and I goto an IB school, so I don't have any IB Test scores to prove my proficiency yet.
Anyways, some stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2200 (800 math, 680 cr, 720 wr-8 essay)</p>

<p>SAT II: Math II:800, Math I:800, Phys (not sure but...):700+ (90% sure it should be)</p>

<p>Awards/Honors: AIME Qualifier 2 time, USAJMO Qualifier 1 time, TMSCA 2 Time State Champion in Mathematics, Number Sense and Calculator</p>

<p>Sports: Varsity Table Tennis, 3rd place state winter games tournament</p>

<p>ECs: Metroplex Math Circle Assistant, Copy Editor for Newspaper, Math/Science/Computer Science Team, Class Pres (9, 10), Key Club Pres (11)</p>

<p>Rigorous courses taken/taking:
SL Physics, SL Math, HL Math, English III IB, History of the Americas IB, French III IB, Chemistry SL, Local University Computer Science and Statistics (received A's in both)</p>

<p>Distinguishing Features:

Very rural background, 2 hour drive from the nearest big city (Dallas)
Applying Early as school in my area isn't challenging enough</p>

<p>Wow, that’s pretty cool. Your stats seem very strong… Maybe take the SAT again to try and improve your CR score? I had the same problem, so I went ahead and took the November 6 SAT to try get my CR score above 700.</p>

<p>What is it like taking both SL and HL Math? And what are English III/French III IB? I’m an IB student too, so this all seems mildly strange to me, haha.</p>

<p>Because you’re a junior, I don’t really know how to go about chancing you… I don’t know much about juniors who apply early but what I’ve heard is that colleges tend to worry about the maturity of the applicant, among other factors. (Don’t take my word for it though!)</p>

<p>All of that aside though, I feel like you have a good chance. Best of luck!</p>
