<p>I never thought I'd do this, but I like reading the other threads so I want one that's tailored to me :)</p>
<p>Chance me for: Princeton, UPenn, Notre Dame, Boston College, Villanova (EA), UVA and William & Mary (OOS), and Lafayette (maybe with a merit scholarship??)...I won't bother listing my state schools and my sure-bet safeties. Also, I skimmed over a lot of ECs and school awards that I'm planning to list on my app to save time and not give myself away.</p>
<p>-Caucasian female, northeast</p>
<p>-School sends very few (2-3) students per year to top schools</p>
<p>-Unweighted GPA (4-point scale): 3.98 </p>
<p>-Weighted GPA (5-point scale) -- 4.7 (mostly A+s...I'm pretty sure the grades at my school are kind of inflated, but hopefully colleges won't just assume that)</p>
<p>-# of AP/IB/honors courses: 6 APs (my school only offers 7), all the rest are honors</p>
<p>-class rank/size: my school doesn't rank, but I'm in the top 5%</p>
<p>-SAT/ACT scores: 730CR, 770M, 760W (1500/2260)</p>
<p>-SAT II scores: Math II: 760; Spanish: 720</p>
<p>-AP scores: 5 on Physics-M, 4 on Calc BC (5 AB subscore); taking four more senior year</p>
<p>-ECs: Basically I'm very, very involved in volunteer organizations in my school, church, and community, with plenty of leadership. I also play piano, and I'm involved in several miscellaneous clubs and honor societies which I won't list here.</p>
<p>-employment: Maybe a weakness? Just babysitting really, but I want to get a job during the school year.</p>
<p>-honors/awards: Several at the school level, but other than National Merit Commended I don't really have anything major.</p>
<p>-short explanation on recs/essays: I'm expecting excellent recs, and I'm a fairly good writer, but my essays are only in the planning stages...</p>
Your in good shape, just work on those essays
