Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So I'm gonna be a junior this year, and I was just looking for thoughts on my resume so far (preferably from people who have gotten into really good places, like Stanford or UChicago)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.965 (unweighted)
APs: U.S. History, Bio, Lang, Calc BC, Government; planning on taking Chem, Lit, Spanish, and Psych as a senior (maybe one more?)
ACT/SAT: Not taken yet, but got 34 on a practice
PSAT: 209 my sophomore year, taking again this year</p>

<p>Major Awards: BPA national finalist in 2 events (top 15); also got two 2nd places at states, as well as 2 golds at regionals</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: President of Model UN, BPA Executive Council, 2 years varsity tennis, 2 years of golf, Key Club, 1 year of robotics; probable NHS as well</p>

<p>Work Experience: Planning to work at Kumon as an Instructor, also a possible job/internship at a government contracting firm</p>

<p>Volunteering: Volunteer through the youth group at my temple; also planning to volunteer at nearby hospitals in the near future</p>

<p>Summer activities: Online classes, tennis; planning to do summer programs at a college next summer</p>

<p>Teacher Recommendations: Definitely have two strong teacher ones, and another supplemental one; not sure about the counselor one though</p>

<p>PSAT doesn’t matter by the way.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know, but I put it as a sort of measure on my SAT</p>

<p>Recommendations from a teacher from 9th or 10th grade is not encouraged, so assume you have none right now. How many volunteering hours do you have? I see a lot of things you are planning to start but have not begun yet, also don’t assume you will end up doing all those things and know that joining things junior year conveys that you are doing it to impress colleges. Good luck and focus on what you have.</p>

<p>Actually, I have already gotten confirmation for most of these things, so I can start once I’m 16. My recommendations aren’t all from teachers, and one of those that is from a teacher is one that I’ll have as a junior (but thanks for the info, I’ll make sure to switch my other one).</p>
