<p>I'm a high school senior. I have a 4.0 gpa unweighted and a 4.33 weighted. I got a 32 on the ACT and a 2170 on my SAT. I go to a small school that doesn't offer many AP courses, so I've only taken AP government (I got a 5 on the exam), but I'm an all honors student. I'm 4th in my class and I've qualified for the first round of national merit scholar as well. My extracirriculars include theatre at my own school and at others, I'm captain of my quizbowl team and I've won numerous awards for it I'm president of nhs, as well as a special reporter for my school paper. This summer I've attended Boys State where I worked as a lobbyist, won the outstanding lobbyist award, and held several other lower political positions in my party, I've also attended a young writers seminar at siu Carbondale and plan on doing volunteer work at a charity thrift shop. I've spent 50 hours mentoring elementary students as well as between 20-25 more hours of other things through NHS and other organisations (I organised a fundraiser for Haiti at my school, though we didn't make a lot of money due to our small population of students who even know where Haiti is). I've also won second place in a statewide essay contest and was given an award by tfhe secretary of state. What sort of schools do I stand a chance at? Bowdoin? Duke? Rice? Princeton? Is there any place where my profile needs a little strengthening (my volunteer hours are what I'm most concerned about)?</p>
<p>I’m also applying to schools and your statistics seem to be pretty promising. I can’t help you much because I’m still a student but your whole transcript is pretty amazing. Your volunteer hours may need a little work because those type of schools really want to see a lot of dedication, I recommend focusing on your current extra-curricular activities and applying yourself to them than loading your transcript with unnecessary hours. They like to see a focused student rather than a loader upper. For Princeton I would say you have a pretty good chance, just more hours if you can and get SAT a little higher like 2300. If your black like me your a shoo in.Lol.Good luck to you my friend.
