<p>I am entering my senior year of high school in Hillsborough NJ, and being that I am in the thick of my college search, I am having some doubts about my chances at top tier/ivy league schools. My parents are the typical asian parents that want high academic performance 110% of the time lol so they obvi want me to apply to many of the ivies, however I have to be realistic about my trancript and academic profile, and think that I prob will have to downgrade to something smaller or less prestigious academically.</p>
<p>Before I record my profile and my list of schools, I also want to say that I am interested in pursuing a career in medicine, and esp. a 7-year med program, so some of the schools i have listed reflect that path. Therefore I am more looking for my chances of getting into that program rather than the school itself in those cases. If i don't list 7year then it doesnt apply.</p>
<p>SO</p>
<p>Heres some background:</p>
<p>SATI: 690 crit. read | 760 math | 770 writing (12 essay)
SATII: 680 U.S. History | 700 Math II | 710 Biology (not so great i kno)</p>
<p>GPA: 93.7 UW; 101 W</p>
<p>My school doesnt rank but im assuming at least top 5% in a class of 600</p>
<p>My courseload has always been rigorous. Ive taken all Honors and AP, loading up on as much as I can. I doubled up on science freshmen year, and will be doing so again senior year. I have all 5 APs in my sched for senior year.</p>

<p>Volunteered at Red Cross and NJ Blood Bank Blood Drives several times, volunteered at Highland Park Food Bank, volunteered here and there in association with clubs like Citizens of the International Community and Interact.</p>
<p>Work: Worked as a tennis camp counselor in Summer of 2010 at two different camps, one at a privately owned camp and one at Cherry Valley Country Club.</p>
