<p>Hey guys,future senior from Long Island, New York here.</p>

<p>Ethnic Background: Russian, Ukranian
Residence: NY
Interests: Business, Computer Science
financial aid: No
Graduating from competitive public school in 2009</p>

<p>GPA::out of a 100 scale.
Unweighted: 92.5
Weighted: 97</p>

<p>Since 8th grade, I've been enrolled in the honors program, and take the highest level classes available.
You see, freshman and most of sophomore year I slacked a little bit, and then Junior kicked it into gear. That will explain why I have a few low B's on my transcript as well as maybe two or three C's.
By the time I graduate I will have taken over 8 AP classes, and numerous other "honors level" classes</p>

<p>Test Scores::::</p>

<p>SAT:
2150
Math: 750
CR: 720
Wr: 680
SAT II:
Biology: 670
World History: 740
I am planning on taking Math II as well</p>

<p>ECs::::::
+ Over 120 hours volunteering at local Russian School that my mom runs. Just helping teachers out, etc.
+ 50 hours at radiology department at local hospital. Most boring crap ever, (calling doctors and jotting down their fax numbers)</p>

<ul>
<li>I created a non-profit organization (obviously with help of my dad) to aid underprivileged kids of former Soviet republics, which would include Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc. . I took several trips with my dad to visit orphanages in Moscow, and rural Ukraine to deliver goods to these kids.
Due to my dad's business connections we were able to get donations of up to $10,000.</li>
</ul>

<p>Also this taught me several business skills, as well as the thousands of hours that I spent working on it, which are technically "community service hours"
These skills include leadership, managing business, web design,etc.
I can honestly write a killer essay using this.</p>

<ul>
<li>Just this past summer(just got back a few days ago lol), I studied abroad for 4 weeks in Prague. Specifically, Interanational Business and global marketing classes, with the University of Economics Prague.</li>
</ul>

<p>(Clubs, etc)
+ FBLA(future business leaders of America)Since 10th grade
-Treasurer
-We placed high in States
+ School Paper.. since 10th grade
- I intermittently wrote tech reviews, but created a website for the newspaper to post articles online. coded using HTML btw.

<p>You have a good shot. </p>

<p>Are you playing tennis at NYU?</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance. Don't worry about the freshman grades, cause colleges like to see an upward trend, and junior year is most important. just curious...where on the island are you from?</p>

4

<p>I'm from Setauket, right by SUNY Stony Brook(I'm applying there as a safety)
I go to Ward Melville if that matters.</p>

5

<p>bump!
please just a few more comments</p>

6

<p>bump please. I would really appreciate some more help</p>

7

<p>very likely... what's with all the Renaissance kids nowadays anyway? I don't feel so smart coming from the pacific.</p>

<p>take SATII math and use that instead of bio perhaps?</p>

8

<p>Nah, it won't make much of a difference. You have a good shot. Good luck!</p>
