<p>Hi, I attend a competitive public high school in NJ that ranks consistently in the top 100 for public schools across America. I am a multiracial male, Indian-American and African (Kenyan), but around 3/4 Indian-American, so only slightly African.</p>
<p>I am applying to EA to UChicago and MIT,U of MIchigan and RD to Cornell, UPenn, Swarthmore, Amherst, Claremont-Mckenna, Yale, Williams, Harvard, Brown, Bowdoin, Duke, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, West Point, Wash U in St Louis and Rutgers.</p>
<p>GPA is a 4.22 weighted, I have the most rigorous courseload and at a very rigorous school.</p>
<p>SAT I's CR-620, M-800, W-720 ---I am retaking, and also taking the ACT in September</p>
<p>SAT II's--Math II-800, Chemistry-760</p>
<p>AP's taken---US History, World History, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Chemistry, English Language and Composition</p>
<p>AP's for next year---Government and Politics, Spanish, Statistics, BC Calculus, English Literature</p>
<p>So far I have all 4's and 5's and expect all 4's and 5's on the rest</p>
<p>In addition I have taken 9 honors courses. I have always opted for the hardest class that I could possibly take, and have never dropped out of a class.</p>
<p>EC's

Big Brother/Big Sister Leader
Part of afterschool diversity club (GAIA)
Member of Model UN
Interned at an NGO affiliated with the United Nations for 1 month after soph. year. Was the project coordinator and set up and fine tuned a camp bringing needy kids from around New york city to the UN everyday to learn about diversity and tolerance.40 hours/week
-Interned for 6 weeks on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange for a small brokerage firm. Learned a lot about how the trading works, and I studied for the series 7 (stockbroker) examination. Paid internship. I got this job because I was selected from a group of 20 underclassmen who took AP econ this year. Every year a student from my high school gets to work for the firm because of excellence in economics and I got lucky.</p>
<p>Rec's
Very good, but not the best ever
Counselor rec will be stellar</p>
<p>My times for track are 51.4 in the 400m, 1:58.0 in the 800m, 4:25 in the 1600m, and 16:14 in a Cross Country 5K. I am going to stay with members of the track teams during my school year at MIT, Swarthmore, Wash U, Amherst, Bowdoin, West Point, Williams, and Yale.--The coaches say that I am recruited, and want me to see their schools. I have to pay to get there and then they will pay the rest. </p>
<p>I am trying to cut down the number of schools, so I any advice on which ones to remove would be helpful. Also could you list which schools would be reaches, matches, and safeties.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
