<p>I go to a small public school in rural CT.
Class Rank: 1/141
GPA: 3.96 unweighted, 4.4 weighted
SAT 1 : 790 Math, 620 CR, 570 Writing... 1980
SAT 2: 690 Chem</p>
<p>ECs:
1st singles varsity tennis - 10, 11, 12 - captain 12
National Honor Society President
Varsity Cross Country -12
Band, play the oboe, flute, and piano, in COC and ASBDA Honors Bands
Junior Volunteer at Rockville General Hospital 9-11
Dance - Ballet and Lyrical</p>
<p>I would retake the SAT - with ~2100 you have a very good shot, as it is your chance is mediocre.</p>
<p>male or female??</p>
<p>a male with lyrical and ballet would stand out as unique</p>
<p>but SAT's need to be boosted to match your GPA (as it is you look like a grade-grubber, but you probably just had a bad day with verbal)</p>
<p>lol, grade grubber? more like hard worker. But you have to show that you have the raw skills to do well at a top school, and thats why you need a higher SAT</p>
<p>I personally think your ec's are weak along with your SAT.</p>
<p>I am female. Also, I plan to major in chemistry, physics, or mathematics. I know that Dartmouth has the Women in Science Project and would be interested to take part in this program. Currently I am doing an independent study at my school in biochemistry to produce biodiesel fuel which i will donate to the town as a more efficient and enviromentally friendly energy source. I find my laboratory experience extremely valuable. </p>
<p>What do you mean my ECs are weak? I am committed and passionate about the activities in which I am involved and have also assumed leadership positions.
I know my SAT scores could use improvement...</p>
<p>what? you are developing alternative fuel? mind if i get in on that?</p>
<p>I think if you want to major in chemistry, you need to retake the Chem SAT II and take Math IIC and Psychics. Youll need those.</p>
<p>With a 620 CR, you have to take it again to get in I would say.</p>
<p>unless he/she is intl.</p>
<p>i had better SATs and ECs and i didnt get in, just as a frame of reference.</p>
<p>i had better too and was also rejected, however, i am applying for transfer, i am a much stronger applicant than i was and hopefully this time i'll have better luck :)</p>
<p>katcron--any APs?</p>
