<p>Forgot to say
I am a junior, if not apparent
I did Rice Nanotechnology for minorities over last summer
Will be busy this summer either 1. Prestigious summer programs if I can get in 2. College classes + Volunteering + maybe research
I got a 198 (ha! way below avg for Ivy) on PSAT so I will receive National Hispanic Recognition </p>

<p>Oh and thanks in advance</p>

<p>if you end this year raising that GPA past 3.8 that’ll help u a lot.
4 years basketball is great especially 4 years varsity :open_mouth:
you’re hispanic which is also great.
looks like a great candidate to me…</p>

<p>the 3.75 is what I expect at the end of this semester especially after seeing my 1st quarter grades (grr currently like a 3.79)
and lol its baseball but I did 2 yrs JV 2 yrs Varsity (counting nxt year of course) but its still 5A baseball in Texas ;)</p>

<p>ya that sounds encouraging</p>

<p>until I remember the girl who applied ED this year was #3 in class, I’d say at least a 3.9, and a NMF as well as NHR - she got in (she totally deserved it) but set standards high </p>

<p>thanks though</p>
