<p>Your stats are fine. Why are you taking two more SAT IIs? Unless you need some different subjects for other schools, I can't see a good reason to do so.</p>

<p>Your research/internship are good, a strength in your application. Your science-related clubs/teams/awards are good. Your tennis and piano show dedication, discipline, etc. Your Red Cross work shows that you care about the community and applying your knowledge to the real world, probably more than your volunteer hours, since it seems like everyone has a zillion hours of volunteer time these days. Though I actually think the museum and camp are a refreshing change from the volunteering-in-a-hospital that everyone else seems to do. :) NHS and NFHS are pretty generic.</p>

<p>I'm being nitpicky, but note that "Calc III" (multivariable calc, I assume?) is not an AP.</p>

<p>On a different note, I'm pleased to see someone who appears to have physics/math/computer skill who's interested in course 20. A lot of people who originally wanted to do the major when it was created got scared off when they saw how much biophysics was required.</p>

<p>Thanks, Jessie</p>

<p>I was going to take more SAT IIs then I dropped the idea...took chemistry again this october ( thought I could do better in chem as it's my favorite subject).
YES, Cal III (multibvariable cal) is not an AP but considered as beyond AP as per my GC :)</p>
