Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>The rundown, yet again:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.97 unweighted, possibly closer to 3.91 by the end of the week (I just got a B in precalc II at CC...)
Class rank: 2 of 219 (no one has a 4-point, though)
SATs: 750 CR, 660 M, 730 W, essay 10, cumulative 2140
SAT IIs in Literature, Math IIC, and Bio...waiting for scores, plan to re-take in January regardless
1 AP test (only 1 AP class offered): English Lang./Comp., received a 5</p>

<p>Took all Honors up through senior year, when the Honors program was cut: immediately went full-time community college, 18-20 credits per quarter</p>

<p>My ECs:</p>

<p>National Alliance for Autism Research: Walk Captain every year for four years, youngest spokesperson in Washington state, winner of the 2005 Young Leadership Award for NAAR, raised over $10,000 last year for autism-related causes, Honorary Member of the Women's Council of Realtors (alongside Superior Court Justice Mary Yiu) with regards to my work with NAAR</p>

<p>ASL Club President (11th grade), ASL club member 9-11 (club disbanded in 12), fundraised and did charity work, participated in statewide Sign-Off for two years running and received 4th and 3rd place medals</p>

<p>ASL interpreting internship, interpreted two hours per week at nearby elementary school for a class of Deaf 5th and 6th graders, one of only two students chosen for the internship out of approximately 300</p>

<p>3 years varsity gymnastics, lettered all three, chosen as one of six to represent our school at the regional level on beam</p>

<p>2 years varsity swimming (no letter :( )</p>

<p>I've won a few minor awards: Academic letters, three ASL letters, Bon-Macy's essay contest winner, et cetera, but nothing really at a national level.</p>

<p>And I've applied to:
Brown University
Columbia University
Rice University
Emory University
Washington U. in St. Louis
UNC -- Chapel Hill
University of Washington (state resident, legacy)
Boston University
Western Washington University
Central Washington University</p>

<p>Bump...and I'm in more trouble than I thought. I got a B in acting this quarter too, and potentially a -C- in precalc II...I don't know if a 2.6 is a B or a C, but I intend to find out. ARGH!</p>

<p>Bumpety bump bump bump...</p>

<p>I failed to realize that today was my sending high school's last day of classes before Christmas break. Now, I have no letters of recommendation. So, I guess this whole post has become more or less moot, eh? Unless, of course, I hire a private eye and start stalking my teacher's homes...</p>

<p>What can I say? I procrastinate. Oh, and I'm in gymnastics, working 25 hours a week, trying to Christmas shop and give speeches in front of 200 people for NAAR. My bad.</p>

6

<p>well, in that case... try state schools, cuz no teacher recs = no service</p>
