<p>Hi everybody ^^ So here are some of my stats:
I'm Azn btw
Pretty competitive public school in US (We send 10+to UCB, and another 10+to LA, and a few to ivy leagues every year)
uw gpa: 3.42
w gpa: 3.5
Top 25% of School
~600 students
I've taken 4 honors classes, and 5 AP classes
APWH-4
AP Bio-5

APPsych-4</p>
<p>Scores:
SAT I Math: 750
SAT I CR: 750
SAT I WR: 750 (11 on essay)
2300 Superscored</p>
<p>I'm actually stuck on SAT too, i got a 2260 on another take, (800 on writing, 720 math, 740 CR) I don't know which to send. Will the 2260 look better? I know writing doesn't count for much, so I don't know whether to look "balanced" or have a slightly higher score</p>
<p>SAT II Math: 800
SAT II WH: 710
SAT II USH: 750
SAT II Biology: 770
May take SAT II physics and chem, pretty confident I'll do well on them</p>
<p>ACT: 35
I honestly don't know where my score sheet went, but this is what I remember (or think I do, sorry) So one or two of the sections below may be 1-2 off, but i know for sure I got 35.
Writing: 8 on essay (major ouch), 35
Math: 34
Science: 36
Reading: 36</p>
<p>Summer Biology Internship with professor studying molecular biology, worked at lab researching (11)
May have coauthored a research report at end of internship, still unsure. I wouldn't count it in for now, but...
ServiceForU Club Vice President; Had a weekly activity, raised over $300 (by myself) to help out unemployed families, raised over $500 overall for that fundraiser, which I led. Also donated around $2000 to Japan with the club, in another fundraiser which I created.
Math instructor at Math Academy, taught SAT II, also taught several classes to younger children
3rd place regional science fair, biology project
Participated in a project in China, I went to a rural village and taught English. For people who want to ask, NO this was not with any program that tries to get you to have a good resume, I legitly found it myself, and because my parents are unemployed, found a grant for airplane tickets.
Piano: Level 10 Certificate of Merit, multiple times at Branch Honor Recital
Member of Science Olympiad, 3 years
Over 200 hours of Community Service, including work to help the environment, soup kitchen, and others
7th place in CA, Latin competition (Certamen)
Church Youth Assistant Director: Directs church youth and helps create programs/find new activities (I'm hesitant to put this on since it's church and I know colleges don't really care about church stuff; I'd rather not prostitute my church activities either)
Handbell Choir</p>
<p>I was also in Destination Imagination from 6-8th grade, where I got 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 11th place globally in the structural and science programs (That's actually pretty big :P). I wnna put it in, but it's middle school, and meh... I had to quit because of financial problems which was kinda a bummer, but should i put it in? just att he end of the list, since I'm a really creative/project oriented person.</p>
<p>Awards:
AP Scholar of some sort
National Merit Scholarship (I got a 228 on PSAT)
National Latin Exam, silver medal</p>
<p>My Teacher Recs should be decent, I'll have excellent recs from my employer and internship professor though (I think common app allows you extra optional recs from other people)
My essay should be pretty damn good, my writing's also been quite strong (except for ACT = = iono how that happened)</p>
<p>Right now I'm looking at colleges such as:
Matches:
Case Western
Rennsalaer Polytechnic Institute
UCIrvine
UCDavis
Lehigh</p>
<p>Can y'all please help? Because my ec's are decent (in my opinion) but my gpa is crap I don't know what schools I can get in. Those above are some of the ones I want to go to, but suggestions would be wonderful. For those of you who want to ask, no I did not severely mess up my freshman year or anything; I'm just really project oriented. I've had tests where I've studied my ass off, and gotten a C or D because I ALWAYS blank out on tests >_< (There was one ap bio quiz this year where my friend quizzed me right before class, I got everything correct, and got an f on the quiz because i blanked out)
So please, chance and suggest schools and what I can do!!!</p>
