<p>Hey guys
Im a junior right now, applying to colleges in the fall. As of right now, I'm extremely confused as to what I should be looking at, due to my rather wierd resume.
GPA: 92/93...WEIGHTED
88 UNWEIGHTED
basically, a B+/A- student in ALL honors and AP's</p>
<p>SAT: 2150
CR+M: 1430</p>
<p>By the end of high school, I will have EIGHT AP classes.
AP Stats
AP US
AP English
AP Psych
AP US Gov
AP Lit
AP Calc AB
AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>And now for the extra curriculars:
Teachers assistant at a russian school on sundays (approximately 4 hours a week)
President/Founder of the programming club at my high school
Treasurer of FBLA....actively participate on the state level at business competition
Business Honors Society/National Honors Society
Coded websites for several school clubs (such as the school newspaper, asian culture club, poetry magazine)
Yearbook Business Manager..negotiate with businesses to place ads in our book</p>
<p>Over 150 hours volunteering
Have held several jobs</p>
<p>I have been on Varsity tennis for 3 years, and I am going to be captain during Senior year.
This year I am ALL-STATE for doubles.
top 60 ranking in state</p>
<p>Also, as a side project, as a way to demonstrate interest in my major (Computer Science/Programming) I decided to create an online fund raising/gift giving application integrated with Facebook/Myspace/Friendster. I have created several prototypes, and will begin serious coding this summer once school is done. Realistically, through commisions I can be making a lot of money (business model estimates 40 grand IF I can get atleast one million dollars flowing in just one year). This is a combination of programming, marketing, etc..and if it succeeds, I think this will be a huge benefit to my resume.</p>
<p>You guys think it's possible for me to get into these schools?
NYU
BU
Fordham
Villanova
Northeastern
UChicago(one can dream :) )
George Washington U
Drexel</p>
<p>BTW..NO need for financial aid..as this is supposedly a big deal in this new economic climate</p>
<p>btw, if it matters. My school does not rank because it is so COMPETITIVE. Theyd just be screwing over kids like me, by ranking my class of 750 kids. Just to give you an idea, we send a crap load of kids to ivies, have over 25 AP classes… extremely competitive</p>
<p>Easily in at Drexel, probably with merit money
High probability at Fordham, BU, Villanova, Northeastern
Fair chance at NYU, George Washington
Reach, WUSL</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, I meant reach at UChicago, not WUSL.</p>
<p>in at all cept chicago but not a bad chance there</p>
<p>def all those schools you’re in. except maybe U Chic</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure you’ll get into most of those schools. as for uchicago, essays are the deal-breaker (or maker) so you’ve got to put in a LOT of effort into those. apply EA and demonstrate clear interest. that’ll place you in a better position. </p>
<p>chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/702662-common-cure-college-anxiety-2-chance-international.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/702662-common-cure-college-anxiety-2-chance-international.html</a></p>
<p>Since you were an assistant at a Russian school, does that mean you also speak Russian?</p>
<p>Especially since you’re apparently full pay, why not reach a little higher (maybe not as high as UChicago, but higher than Fordhanm, Northeastern, Drexel)?</p>
<p>I’m curious, too, why U Chicago? That doesn’t seem to be the best match for your apparent interests in computer science and business. Why not a school like Indiana U. with a very good business program and lots of options in computer and information sciences?</p>
<p>why U Chicago? I guess I just fell in love with the place when I visited during Spring Break. My friend and I went on a LONG roadtrip from NY to Chicago to visit the city and an old friend who goes to UChicago. Visiting a college without my parents really opened my eyes to a whole new aspect that wasn’t available to me before. I was able to truly experience the student life at UChic and I LOVED IT. It’s just the atmosphere of the whole place which just amazed me…the people were truly unique,which I guess is a product of their emphasis on the essay.</p>
<p>update:
So I took the June SAT today and I am definitely confident that my final “superscored” SAT will be 2200+. I aimed for 800 on the math this time around, and am pretty confident I got it!
essay was a bit half assed, but Im fine with my 710 writing score from december. If I really want to I’ll take the test again in October, being that this is only my 2nd time taking it.</p>
