<p>Essays:
Personal Statement - fine
Common App Essay - wrote about an experience when volunteering at the local First Aid Squad. kind of sad story about a patient passing away on a CPR call. basically, the story was about how this incident inspired me to live life, strive for our goals while we still can, and leave no regrets behind.</p>

<p>Male from Arkansas
SAT (taken twice): 2030 (650R, 700M, 680W)
Unweighted GPA: 3.17
Weighted GPA: 3.27
Class Size: 600 (public school)
Class rank: top 17-20%</p>
<p>Honors Math courses 8th through 12th grade, 3 AP's: AP Statistics (4), AP Physics (2), and AP Computer Science (1).</p>
<p>My grade trend is essentially 3.40 freshman year, 2.90 sophomore year, 3.40 junior year, and 3.60 senior year.</p>
<p>EC's: High school baseball, special needs brother, a little volunteering (and by a 'little' I mean only several hours one day), member of three clubs.</p>
<p>Rec's: Even though I got a 2 on the Physics exam, my Physics teacher is writing my rec. Although I obviously cannot know for sure, I think he will say only positive things and even spin the fact that my 2 on the exam was his fault --- it hardly was. So, point being, my rec should be strong.</p>
<p>Essay: Assume it is at least averagely good. </p>
