<p>Hi, I am currently a junior, and I'm posting mostly because I know that schools like Stanford can reject even those with full SATs and whatnot. I would like to know if my current scores and achievements as of today would show that I am an individual that takes the opportunities available and makes the most of them, and if my current direction seems to be in line with what Stanford or Berkeley is looking for. Thank you in advance for reading this. </p>

<p>~ECs:
-Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA): 2 years (Webmaster in 11th, Chapter Outstanding Member of the Year in 11th)
This is an organization aimed at preparing students for careers in business. It holds regional, state, and national (technically international) conferences in which students can compete in many different competitive events. </p>
<p>-(Prospective) Microsoft Internship - 1 summer
I have applied for it, and I will definitely put it on my application if I make it. </p>
<p>-KEY Club: 2 years (Junior Point Rep in 11th)
This is a community service organization. </p>
<p>-Student Government: 1 year (Junior Class VP in 11th)</p>
<p>-Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA): 1 year
This is an organization very similar to FBLA, with an emphasis on marketing, management, and entrepreneurship. The competition structure is virtually the same. </p>
<p>-Band (Not sure if it's an EC, but it involves playing a musical instrument): 3 years as a percussionist (Higher level band in 9th (JrH) and 11th (SrH), qualified for state Solo & Ensemble competition in 10th)</p>

<p>-(Prospective) National Merit Semifinalist</p>
<p>-2009 AIME competitor (National recognition I guess?)</p>
<p>-2008 State Solo & Ensemble qualifier (State)</p>
<p>~Work Experience:
-(Prospective) Microsoft Internship (if I get it, would it go here, in ECs, or in both?): Would be one summer
I believe that the interns work with actual employees on projects in Microsoft. </p>
<p>~Individual things:
-Website owner, former forum administrator
-Worked with many programming languages such as Java, C#, HTML, PHP, worked with MySQL</p>
<p>As noted, these is my current profile as of right now. This is pretty much what I would put on my common application. I will do further tests and participate in further activities, but it is generally complete except for weighted GPA and class rank. I would like to know if what I have currently achieved can likely put me in a favorable position regarding admission. Thank you for reading and replying!</p>
