[] SAT IIs: 800 math IIc, 780 chem, 700 bio(m)
[] GPA: 4.729 W
[] Rank: 2/280 @ private school
[] AP (place score in parenthesis): Calc AB (5), Chem (4), Stats (TBD)
[] Senior Year Course Load: tuffest f0 sh0
[] Other Awards: 1st place @ musical talent show?, haha
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): thing is, most of my extracurriculars are “independent”, but here goes:

School Extracurriculars
Soccer Team: manager 9th
Math Academic Superbowl: 9-11th (captain in 11th)
Knowledge Masters: 9-11th
Show Choir Band (guitar): 11-12th
BD (my high school) Ambassador: 11-12th
NHS: 11-12th
Habitat for Humanity: 9th, 11th, 12th

Independent Extracurriculars
Guitar: Lessons, 7-11th; play at local parish/school Masses (11-12th)
Voice: Lessons, 12th
and don’t laugh, but Weightlifting/Exercising: consistent lifting/cardio routine w/ football players (12th); Indoor Soccer League (12th)

[] Job/Work Experience: soccer referee 3 yrs, school cafeteria 4 yrs (does that count?)
[] Volunteer/Community service: hospital escort/lab tech assistant ~45hrs, random tutoring and participating in school-organized volunteer days (that were mandated, mind you)
[] Essays: strong point, I have an intense writing style; common app one was about overcoming a 5 yr video game addiction
[] Teacher Recs: they love me, but their generic praise can only go so far; no awe-inspiring, standoutish examples
[] Counselor Rec: didn’t see, but I only had a bland relationship w/ her when she sent it
[] Additional Rec: my guitar teacher sent one in along w/ my guitar music supp
[] Interview: none
[/ul]Other[ul]
[] Applied for Financial Aid?: helllllz yes

[] Ethnicity: white/sheltered
[] Gender: XY
[] Income Bracket: mother makes just under 100k (parents are divorced)
[] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.): none…
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: essays (common app, why duke)
[] Weaknesses: EC leadership/involvement
[] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I haven’t done research like a lot of you guys have (that is totally unheard of where I live), but I think my artsy side could have come through in my writing and my guitar music supplement. Also, I balance my school life with soccer and working out, but who doesn’t? (Maybe the admission peeps think I have something to offer to the academically-driven student body.)
[/ul]**General Comments: ** Umm, I’d have to pay just above 25k/yr to go there with their financial aid, which is just out of my reach of paying 20k/yr. The money factor along with the student body’s reputation of being intense premeds who aren’t to interested in social relationships renders JHU a bit gloomy and unattractive. Besides that, I feel like I would just be a number in the long list of premed students when I want stand out for med school. But whatev, I will visit Baltimore and hopefully not get samurai-sworded. :)

DUKE! - why didn’t you want meeeeee?
