<p>Hi. It's always been my dream to get accepted into an awesome college, but lately I've been doubting whether or not I'll make it in. I'm Indian, so I'm not sure if that i good for my chances. I AM APPLYING EARLY DECISION.
Academics:
Valedictorian (both highschool and middle school) of class of 340
GPA-4.0 unweighted, 5.0 weighted
SAT score- 2330
I pretty much took the hardest clases at the earliest grades possible. I think academics is my most appealing aspect of the application. I have 9 AP classes over my high school career. I received 5s on most of my ap exams</p>

I spend two hours a week during off season and fifteen hours a week during the spring season practicing tennis. I will definately play varsity next year as a senior.

Tutoring-I have tutored a total of 3 children ranging from 10 years old to 16 years old in math and science for about a year. I currently tutor a high school sophomore in statistics once a week. I love to help other with the knowledge I have acquired throughout my academic career. I tutor about 5 hours a week.
