<p>I go to The Dalton School (top nyc private school)
Ethnicity: Asian American (Vietnamese)
GPA: 3.22 (upward trend from freshman year and by the end of senior year it should be a 3.35) I am in honors science and math
Hook: Asian Jew. I don't know how many of those are out there?</p>
<p>ACT: 30
SAT II: Math 2C 790, Chem 710</p>
<p>ECs: Intern at Levin Accounting firm
Intern at Congressman Carolyn Maloney's office
Clerk at Housing Works Thrift (store for aids research)
Tutor through the 92nd street Y
Assistant at Park East Synagogue
Staff Writer on the Daltonian (school newspaper)
Editor in Chief of Tiger Wire (sports publication)
Varsity Lacrosse and Football</p>
<p>Schools:
Bucknell
Colby
Indiana-Bloomington
Michigan OOS
Northeastern
Northwestern
Rice
Trinity (CT)
Washington and Lee</p>
<p>You should try to bring your GPA to a 3.4 and ACT to a 32 for Northwestern/Rice. The Asian Jew thing is pretty cool. If you emphasize it in your essay, I think that it could help.</p>
<p>Bucknell: Reach
Colby: Don't Know, Sorry
Indiana-Bloomington
Michigan OOS: Reach
Northeastern: Slight Reach
Northwestern: Reach
Rice: Reach
Trinity (CT): Don't Know, Assuming its your safety
Washington and Lee: Reach</p>
<p>I'll chance you for the ones I'm familiar with. </p>
<p>Bucknell- reach
Colby- slight reach (their average act score is a 29, so you're good in that department, but your gpa is a tad low)
Northeastern- match
Northwestern- reach
Rice-reach</p>
<p>you might want to throw in a few safety schools. a lot of the schools you have are slight reaches, but since you go to a top private school they might take that into consideration when they see a slightly lower gpa.</p>
<p>bucknell - high match
colby - low reach
IU - probably a safety
umich - reach
northeastern - low match? i don't know.
northwestern - reach
rice - reach
trinity - match
w&l - reach, but they will like your EC's.</p>
<p>i think another safety (maybe...rutgers? BU?) and you are good to go.</p>
