<p>Well, the interview is tomorrow, and most of my financial aid things are sent out, so the waiting game has truly begun. So, for the sake of closer, I'll repost my statistics, and you guys can give me your take on it =). RD of course.</p>
<p>URM (African American, but I'm not really American, born in Europe)</p>
<p>Age: 15</p>
<p>Rank: 7/138</p>
<p>GPA (Unweighted/Weighted) : 3.86 or so/4.5 or something</p>
<p>SAT I: M = 800, V = 730, W = 750</p>
<p>SAT IIs: Math I = 720, Lit = 720, Bio-M = 770</p>
<p>APs: English III (Language and Composition?): 4, US History: 5</p>
<p>National Achievement Semis (when I sent it, I'm a finalist now)
National Merit Semis</p>
<p>Classes during 1st semester:
Pre-AP Spanish III
Pre-AP Physics (finished it in half the course length)
AP Physics C E/M
Calculus AB (now taking BC)
AP Chem</p>
<p>Recommendations: Stellar, as far as I know</p>
<p>Essays: My English teacher liked it, =)</p>
<p>ECs:
State Qualifier for Debate, Master Debater for 04-05, Treasurer
Chess Club President, couple of trophies
National Honor Society, volunteering hours mostly
Piano, 1 year, not very good but w/e (sent a sample, it was decent)</p>
<p>I think what might work in my favor is URM status (I don't like affirmative action, but when it helps me... :) ), my age, perhaps the Math SAT, and my counselor rec (she pointed out that our class is ultra competitive). Debate is also nice, I guess.</p>
<p>My ECs, however, aren't stellar, academics aren't legendary either, so I would probably be a reject were it not for URM...</p>
