OMG The world is going to end tomorrow!

<p>Okay, well not literally. Sorry lame attempt to catch your attention, I know :(. </p>

<p>I am a junior - Asian American (great, I know!)</p>

<p>However, unlike most of my peers I am NOT by any means a "math/science" person, though I do love math, I love english/humanities wayyyy more!</p>

<p>Here's a break down of my stats as of right now:</p>

<p>Rank: top 2-3% out 550 people (estimated, could be a little higher) --> though i got a b in ap bio right now, which i am fretting about but hopefully it wont make TOO much of an impact? FYI - AP BIO, due to the teacher, is considered the hardest class at our school...not that admissions ppl would know that, but I felt i need to point that out to you lol.
School type: Public; semi-competitive, rarely sends people to top schools (usually highest is like Northwestern)
GPA: 4.7 (out of 4 due to weighting) - hopefully it stays that way; junior year is quite hard!
Class load: hardest possible no doubt!
SAT: Eh. not so hot yet, barely making 2100 on practice exams. However, I have had much better luck with the ACTs - I am constantly scoring in mid 30's based on practice exams. </p>

<p>ECs:
EIC of School Paper - first junior to become one in a looong time, i am absolutely certain that the newspaper advisor will write me a first class rec!</p>

<p>Write for other community papers as well, including our cultural one.</p>

<p>Countless essay competition awards; won 1st place in state for a newspaper article I wrote. That same article won 4th place nationally at another competiton (which i will not list here for security reasons as you can easily look me up) </p>

<p>Internship at congressman office summer before junior year </p>

<p>Teen Rep on local Youth Commisson - began this system of teen reps to help form better student-community alliances </p>

<p>With members of youth commission helped form young democracts society to promote Obama and help students who can't vote (like me) to still get involved in the poltical scene - created flyers, sent letters of concerns/request to the congressman about issues that bothered us, etc. etc. </p>

<p>Math Honor Society President</p>

<p>NAtional Honor Society</p>

<p>French Honor Society </p>

<p>DECA state winner</p>

<p>Colleges:</p>

<p>Columbia University (top choice)
Northwestern
Stanford (love it, doubt it though :/)
Cornell ( heard some great things from people who have gone there, but I still dnt know if its a good fit for me since i LOVE columbia and these two are polar opposites)
UMich
Washu
UPenn
UIUC</p>

<p>Obviously I wont apply to ALL of those...but</p>

<p>what do you think? I am applicable at all? I've got time since I am a junior. What should I improve? How should I do it?</p>

<p>bump pretty please!?!?</p>
