<p>If some of you more experienced people have the time to check this over that'd be great.</p>
<p>Very upper class white male, go to a fairly large public school outside of Boston (school graduates ~500 a year, maybe 20 go to top-20 schools each year).</p>
<p>Basic Academic Stuff
SAT I: 700 CR, 790 M, 700 W (will retake in October)
SAT II: 800 US History, 770 Literature, 720 Math II (might retake Math in November)
UW GPA 3.41, Weighted 3.79 (Assuming 4=A, 3.66=A-, 3.33=B+, 3=B; +.5 for honors, +1 for AP) My school does a weird GPA where a 9 is an honors/AP A, 8 is honors/AP B or a regular A, etc.)
Class rank; not sure, my school doesn't do it, but I'm around the 90th percentile.
My school offers only math at the honors level freshmen year, I took that, and Math/History/English Spohomore year, Math/English/Computer repair honors Junior year, and US History/Latin at the AP level this year.</p>
<p>Academic Awards/Activities
National Latin Exam: Summa Cum Laude/Gold Medal, 9, 10, 11
National Spanish Exam: 86th percentile 10, 83rd percentile 11 as a non-honors student
Member of a Mock Trials team that was 1st in state and 1th in the nation 9th grade, 2nd in 10th, and tied for 3rd in 11th.
National Merit Semifinalist or Finalist, not sure yet (PSAT was 226).
Member of Student-Faculty Administration, 12
I was also a state finalist in the Geography Bee but that was in 8th grade</p>
<p>I'm going to coach a youth basketball team with my friend this winter.</p>
<p>I just started working in the past few months, I'm a caddy at a local country club.</p>
<p>But here's the kicker: I'm a really good shot putter, 56' 9.5" if you care. I was the Massachusetts State Champ this year as a junior, and 5th in New England. I've gotten letters from some colleges, including Brown, Cornell, Yale, and Dartmouth. This also gives me 2 captainships (Indoor and Outdoor Track).</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into Yale, or other selective colleges?
Thanks for your time if you read all that crap.</p>
