Rank 2/360, saledictorian
i think about a 4.0 gpa uw (it may be 3.96 or 3.98. Got 1 B and like 45 or 49 A's)
took most rigorous course in my school which isnt saying much, 6 APS, 10 honors.</p>

<p>Um now for the essays
MOst of them will be good. Some may be a bit iffy but overall pretty ok / good</p>

<p>EC's
This one club called ACE team. Pretty fun club. Like jeapordy. Won many awards for it. its a regional thing
Math Field day - (we have no math / science club) went to regionals twice
NHS - not much to say here. TUtor in this club also
HIspanic NHS - treasurer for this club. Do other things >.>
Big Brothers Big Sisters - a club in which I tutor 2 hours a week to another kid
Varsity tennis - 10-12. 3rd doubles team
Varsity CC - 9-10. Now really worth mentioning. Wasnt very good at it though.
SPIRIT program - My school is very diverse. With minorities making up about 40% (about 25% african american, 10% hispanic, 5% asian and other races). In this it was a 2 day workshop. We talked about many things our school had problems with. Pretty interesting. Was nominated the speaker and leader for the asian group whenever we have meetings during the year to talk about this thing.</p>

<p>Some out of school things
9th grade summer - summer school / volunteer at hospital for 50 or so hours
10th grade fall - volunteered at a theatre for about 70 hours
11th grade summer - summer school / volunteered at hospital for 50 hours or so
12th grade - traveled to india. Got to see some cool things. Some surgery's too :0</p>

<p>Oops sorry if other college stuff is in here. I accidentailly copied / pasted from the chances thread.</p>

<p>Applying to engineering. (BME first choice) but can I apply to a second major? Probably some sort of biomed or something like it (or chem. engineering)</p>

<p>thumbsup! good luck!</p>

<p>sat is recommended to be taken 3 times max</p>

<p>salutatorian</p>

<p>Oh and JHU wont get my 4th one. I got the 4th one today from paper mail. It got delayed on-line. Therefore I knew my scores but they were not on-line and I sent them already so JHU thinks I only took it 3 times.. i feel guilty but oh well. OH but i am sending my January USH then so they WILL see it. nooo.</p>

<p>darkhope, why is the SAT recommended for only 3 times max?</p>

<p>it's not. just an arbitrary number</p>

<p>on a previous post i think admission daniel indicated that it is recommended that the sat be taken 3 times max...however, that does not mean taking it 4 times will ruin you =D</p>
