<p>Hey,</p>
<p>So I am a senior this year, and I live near the Nashville area. </p>
<p>I am of Asian American (Pakistani) origin, my dad is a doctor, and my mom has a master's degree in agriculture and she does not work. I am a U.S. citizen and so are my parents (naturalized). I have two siblings and my family income is about 180K. </p>
<p>I went to a public school in Indiana for 9th grade, to a private school for grades 10-11 and a public school in 12th grade. </p>
<p>Grades: My GPA is about 4.05 on a weighted scale. This is easily the weakest point of my application. In freshman year, one semester I got straight A-'s in the standard honors courses and straight B's in one year with a C in a computers class. In sophmore year, I did OK and got all A's except for 2 B's in math/science. In junior year, I got 4 B's in tough AP/Honors courses and 2 A's the first semester, and straight A's my second semester. In senior year, I am taking 6 AP classes and have gotten straight A's for the first semester.</p>
<p>SAT/ACT: My SAT is 2390. My SAT Math 2 is 800, SAT Chem is 800, and SAT US History is 750. My ACT is a 35.</p>
<p>AP Scores: All 5's- In school: AP Chem, AP Calc BC / Self-Studied: AP Physics C: Mech, AP Physics C: E&M, AP US History, AP World History, AP English Language and Comp, AP Computer Science A. </p>
<p>Extracirriculars: Piano (9th, 11th, 12th)- I won a few gold stars at a local competition. Debate (10th-12th)- I was top 6 in about 10 local tournaments. Young Democrats (10th-12th), I was VP for junior and senior year and we did some campaigning for Obama. I started up a Chem Club and was president of it in senior year in addition to coaching Mathcounts at a local middle school. I did Mock Trial junior year and was the second place lawyer in my district. I volunteered in my sophmore and junior (in Pakistan building schools in junior year) summers and accumulated about 200 hours. I researched in a summer program and wrote a paper in chemistry with a professor. Finally, I ran JV Cross Country in my senior year. </p>
<p>Awards: I was a National Merit Commended Scholar in my senior year. I was a national AP Scholar in senior year. I was in the top 3 in regional math contests in 9-11. I won the state problem solving math contest in senior year. I qualified for the USA Chem Olympiad and was in the top 50 in the nation. I am an Intel STS SF. </p>
<p>Recs: I got recs from my AP Bio teacher, a chem prof, an english teacher, my counselor and they were all pretty good. They told how I was very mature and an exemplary student.</p>
<p>Essays: I wrote an interesting one on finding a unique identity with cultures in my house and at school. I also wrote about learning responsibility through my many failures and finally shaping up in my last two semesters before college Apps. </p>
<p>How good are my chances of getting in?</p>
