<p>I'm a white/jewish junior in LI, NY and most of my peers are beginning to visit schools. I have no idea where to start....to give you an idea of what kind of student I am, here are my stats so far:
SAT 2: Spanish 800
Frosh:97 weighted GPA, one B+ in english -_-
100 on math regents, 96 in sci
NSE gold medal varsity swim, track, math team,
Soph: 99 weighted GPA, one B in AP world
(only 1 AP offered)...
jazz band, all-county jazz band, latin club, founded the scrabble club(auto. president), Cross country, varsity swim, JV baseball. Over the summer between soph and JR year, i got a mentor at Sloan-kettering cancer center in NYC and am currently conducting research on cancers/disorders in the brain.
Jr year schedule: AP spanish, APUSH, AP english, A2/Trig H, Chem H, Science research, Wind ensemble, Phys ed. Planning on making both varsity swim and baseball.
<em>P.S.</em> my research advisor said my project is one of the best shes seen in all of her teaching and if i dont go far in intel/siemens, then she doesn't know what they are even looking for.; took the PSAT but didnt find out scores yet. Where should i start?!?!
thanks</p>
<p>Start with CollegeConfidential’s matchmaker thingy. It’s free, and can give you a much more complete list from which to start than we can.</p>
<p>I tried that. Princeton, Harvard, Yale, etc. came up…</p>
<p>Without knowing your PSAT scores it will be hard to come up with a list of suggestions on where to go visit. Would also be helpful to know what region, what size, urban or rural, and your intended major.</p>
<p>@jshain- yes that is true but just to visit i guess. I forgot to add my AP crap: I got a 4 on the AP world, im also currently self-studying for AP bio</p>
<p>You seem like you will be very competitive for rather selective schools but more information is needed from you. Also, will you be needing financial aid?</p>
<p>@jshain- i think i did really well on it. My school certainly entered me into NMSQ. My guidance counselor gave my a “diagnostic” SAT I to take, which i scored a 2230
Other stuff i left out (leadership stuff): NHS, Spanish NHS (pres.), Science NHS, Math NHS, Tri-M(music) NHS.</p>
<p>And pertaining to majors, etc, I want to become a doctor in the future…BUT not to be cocky, i excel in spanish(NSE gold, 100 avg since i started HS, 800 sat 2) and i think that would be a unique and fun major that might not be as competitive as say neuroscience or molecular bio</p>
<p>UPDATE:::223 PSAT…i believe i’ll be an NMSF but no news yet.</p>
