[ b]General Comments:[ /b] average by CC standards. Had regular EC's such as student government and a couple of clubs, no varsity sports or crazy awards, did some community service. Did a lot of learning on my own outside of school and/or organized settings. Conveyed passion for creative pursuits of all types and intellectual curiosity in essays.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted
Received acceptance Jan 26th.</p>

[<em>] SAT: 2130 (680, 710, 740) single sitting
[</em>] ACT: n/a
[<em>] SAT IIs: Chem 740, m2 690, Span w/listening 590
[</em>] GPA (uw/w): 3.98 (uw), 4.72 (w)
[<em>] Rank: 4%
[</em>] Other stats: 8 APs, most others Honors
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: very good, unique, personal and expressive
[</em>] Teacher Recs: 2 teacher recs, did not see, but apparently excellent
[<em>] Counselor Rec: same as above
[</em>] Hook (if any): none
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[<em>] State or Country: CA
[</em>] School Type: highly competitive public
[<em>] Ethnicity: Caucasian ( Western European)
[</em>] Gender: Female
[/ul]Other Factors/Hook?: Maybe the 4 years of independent research, with a lot of awards (nearly 30) at regional, state, national, international levels? Science conference presentations state and national venues since 9th grade. General Comments: Since SATs are not exactly as stellar as others here (and latter 2 weak SATIIs taken while sick and not retaken), I think strength of app was due to research, conferences, GPA, heavy load of courses each semester, research director extra rec., and displayed strength and interest in both sciences and the visual arts. Acceptance at this stage is really surprising, and especially unexpected if any scholarship consideration is involved. Really happy and really hope for a chance at any scholarship!</p>
