<p>A stick. </p>
<p>Chance for both EA and RD, not sure which one I'll do because a) IDK if EA is a great boost and b) senior year grades are slightly better than junior year grades right now.</p>
<p>GPA: 92.1/100 UW, but if Michigan recalculates (as I read here they still do?) then 3.77. Otherwise 3.73</p>
<p>SAT: 2340 (or 1540)</p>
<p>SAT II
Math 2: 790
Chemistry: 710
US History: 730</p>
<p>Seven APs taken. That's about the norm for top students here. NJ school, probably top 10% even though there's no rank. So yes I'm OOS.</p>
<p>ECs</p>
<p>*Marching Band
- a LOT of awards here, including best major, best woodwind, etc. Too lazy to type everything out because earlier, I was typing a chance thread for twenty minutes and I click submit and it didn't work, all my work was gone and I was all "fml"
- Leadership positions: Drum major, Vice President, Section Leader (11th), Soloist (10th, 11th), Assistant Drum Major (11th)
- Instruments: Alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, some tenor on the side</p>
<p>*Indoor Drumline.
- Pretty much a winter marching band with only percussion instruments. No leadership positions because they aren't offered.
- Instruments: Snare drum, marimba, some guitar and bass on the side.</p>
<p>*Other musical activities.
- In the school wind ensemble, first chair baritone saxophone.
- Instruments I play that weren't mentioned already: soprano saxophone, clarinet.
- Performed publicly for gigs, churches, etc.</p>
<p>*UPenn Laboratory Research.
- Worked in the Environmental Lab for two summers as a technician assistant and focused primarily on the replication of DNA and its applications in a lab. Too lazy to type out the even better stuff that happened here.</p>
<p>*Science Club/Olympiad.
- Three years in science club, going for Olympiad this year if the officers don't mess it up for me AGAIN.</p>
<p>*DECA
- Several awards on first try in sophomore year, including a few Best Roleplays. Placed top 5 in SJ regionals, was a NJ States finalist.</p>
<p>Other ECs important to me that I didn't mention because I don't feel like it: Intermural Basketball, NaNoWriMo, Biomedical research summer program (at Penn), Interact Club, Volunteering at Chinese School, Student Alliance, being good looking.</p>
<p>Hooks: Sunk the Titanic
Killed Bin Laden
What's green and smells like bacon? Kermit the Frog.</p>
<p>*Honor Societies: Tri-M Honor Society (official induction this year), NHS</p>
<p>Recs: English and Chemistry. BTW it's so fun messing with my Chem teacher, I go in his room, cross out "AP Chemistry" written on the board, and write "AP Charms" or "AP Defense Against the Dark Arts". </p>
<p>Essays: Almost as good as Nutella. ALMOST.
For real though, I know for a fact that my essays hold a unique tone. It's not exactly funny, but it's straight from the heart.</p>
<p>Major: Undecided to LSA.</p>
