<p>Just to answer the question about stats for end3590, my stats are not that great: 2000 comp. for SAT I (700cr, 580m, 720wr,); reasonably well (700s) on my SAT IIs (Bio-E and Math II); stellar performance on my ACT (in the low 30s for everything); 13 AP classes (no AP tests); valedictorian (class of 487); and national achievement scholarship recipient. I'm student gov. vp, a dancer, i play 2 varsity state champ. winning sports, nhs officer, i'm a boys and girls club volunteer, and i have an afterschool job. I am fully aware that my schools are most def. on the low end of the app. pool, but i have a somewhat unique "hook". I come from an extremely poor school/school system, 80 percent of the students i go to school with won't even attend college, and i'll be the first person in my family to grad. high school due to pregnancy (which led to my creation) and drug addiction. The long and short of it- I have not had an easy life, but it never stopped me and this fact makes my achievements shine a little more brightly than those of the rest of my fellow comfy middle class applicants.</p>
