<p>Hey everyone... I'm just going to get down to it. I want to attend Vanderilt EDI, but I need a EDII to apply to if Vanderbilt doesn't come through. I'm really considering making Trinity that school. If not Trinity, then perhaps Washington & Lee, but I really didn't want to have to take the SAT II's. Anyway, back to the point... Trinity. How is this school? I want to go pre-med with a major in Chem/biochem or something related, with a minor in psychology. Any advice? How is the campus/surrounding enviroment. What about pre-med perspectives? Professors and class rigor? I want difficult courses that will push me, but not so cut-throat it is impossible. Any advice? Here are my stats... I know for Trinity ED makes admissions go up to 64%, so that's encouraging.</p>

<p>(This is the most rigiorous course load of anyone else in my class this year, b/c only me any one other person are taking Pre calc and Calc in the same year, and the first to do so in many years. Also, those with hard scedules like mine don't do a varsity sport and a job.)</p>
<p>(I will do everything in my power to make all A's Sr. yr. -- if I do, I will be Salutatorian)
(Also note: Junior yr lowest grade is 97 [only made that low once].. not sure if that counts for something)
-This gives me a total of 11 Honors or above honors courses.</p>
<p>-Will have a total of 5 sciences and 5 maths by end of next yr.</p>
<p>-Varsity Swimming three yrs... and won a school record.</p>
<p>-Job over summer and Sr yr</p>

-TN Volunteer Girls State Delegate (won and elected a Senator's position [only 20 awarded out of 500+ girls])
-Clubs by end of next yr will include: Mu Alpha Theta, National Honors Society, Student Council, Historical Society, Thesbian, Science, Beta, Beta Epsilon </p>
<p>-ACT score: First time = 27, Second time = 27 too! Everything went up several points but science, which for some reason plumated. Hopefully a 30 in Oct. I'mma get a ACT tutor and study like no other.</p>
<p>-In addition, I got the lead role in a theatre preformance in Drama, and am hoping to be equally as lucky in the upcoming Musical this year.</p>
<p>-Volunteer at a Nursing Home, but not the typical 100+ hours yet... I'm working on it. So little time anymore. Only like 12 right now >.<</p>
<p>-I'm good at essays, so counting on essay to be good. (If I could ever get started)
-Student of Month twice, Soph & Junior academic award, etc.
-Major: I want to go pre-med, w/ a major of Chemistry and a minor in Psychology.</p>
<p>Note: I know my AP's are low, but our school only offers 5 and others conflicted with my schedule. Also, there is no 3rd foreign lang. offered at my school... not enough people sign up for them.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
