<p>Hi! I'm going to be a senior next year. I visited a few schools and JHU, Northwestern, and UPenn were my favorites. I'd honestly be happy going to any of them, but I want to know what you guys think my chances are for ED these three schools. </p>
<p>(UPenn is obviously risky, but am I good enough that it's worth the jump?)</p>
<p>SAT I superscore: 2320 800 Math 800 Writing 720 Reading
SAT II: Math II (800) Bio (740) I will take Lit and Chem this year!
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.72 (My school is very competitive.)
AP (place score in parenthesis): US Hist (4) Eng Lang (5) Bio (4) Calc BC (5) Psych (5)
Senior Year Course Load: AP Chem, AP Lit, AP Environmental Science, AP Economics, AP Statistics, Film</p>
<p>Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Prinicipal's choice for outstanding student, Teacher-given awards in English and Art, AP Scholar with distinction
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): National English Honor Society (President/Founder), Writing Center (VP/tutor), Student Magazine (Editor-in-chief), Varsity MUN (member), Math Honor Society (member/tutor), Soccer (JV Captain)
Job/Work Experience: Georgetown University (Did research, conducted interviews on Schistosomiasis while telecommuting with teacher in the US)
Worked at a Law Firm, got to go to a deposition/hearing as an associate + index papers
City Weekend Magazine (Edited, wrote for food column)
New York Times (Got to assist with editorial)
Local Hospital (Intern)
Volunteer/Community service: a lot for essay tutoring, three Habitat for Humanity trips, took care of heart-disease ridden patients, tutored math to High School students in Malawi to help prep for their College entrance exams
Summer Activities: Internships, One selective art course, One MUN conference where I both chaired/served as Deputy President
Essays: I'm generally confident in my writing abilities, so should be good. I'm writing one about a habit and one about my lineage.
Recs: My counselor doesn't really like me-but she respects me, so not sure. My teacher loves me though--she has already started working on hers. </p>
<p>I think my chances at JHU are the best. My boyfriend is also there so that would be a plus!
I love Northwestern, but my parents do not.
UPenn is my favorite--but it's difficult.</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback and I will gladly chance you back!</p>
