<p>hey everyone =)</p>
<p>I'm currently a student studying Biology with a minor in Physics at Colby College in Maine (A "Top 20" Liberal Arts School). I'm ineteresed in attending Stanford University to study environmental science(where my father went, so I have a legacy...perhaps?) as a transfer and, later, for the Biology Graduate Program or the Geology and Environmental Science Program.</p>
<p>Right now my GPA is a 3.53 (dean's list), and should ultiamtely be betwen 3.7 and 3.9 based on how things are going now. My major GPA is:</p>
<p>A (4.0) for my Bio classes with a B (3.0) in Single Variable Calc and an A- (3.7) in Mutlivariable calc (they are required for my major, but I'm not sure if they count for my "major GPA," though I imagine they do)</p>
<p>I am active in an a capella group, the theater department doing plays, the Varsity Swim Team, the Water Polo team, tutoring at the local (meaning near Colby) middleschool, Colby Christian Fellowship, and I have a job working in security.</p>
<p>I will be performing air quality research, taking census on an endagered plant species, and living in a hut as a partial croo (yes, croo, lol) member on Mount Washington this summer. This involves a weekend of leadership training as well, which might look good?</p>
<p>I've also done some data analysis for Clean Air Task Force, a not-for-profit organization that works closely with Congress and the EPA... perhaps that sounds imrpessive? heh</p>
<p>It's a bit early, and I realize that, but am jsut wondering if things stay on this course, if there's a good possibility of me attending my dream school.</p>
<p>My SATS:
SATI= 1420 (740 verbal 680 math)
SATIIs:
AP: Biology 06/28/05 Score 4<br>
Ap: US History Score: 4</p>
<p>AP: World History Score: 3</p>
<p>Chemistry 12/15/04 Score 68<br>
ECOBIO 02/04/05 Score 640<br>
German Placement 09/05/05 Score 440 (blah; i took this after taking a year and a half off from German. However, I still ended up talking my way into third semester German and got a B-- Colby is notoriosu for difficult language courses too, so this mgiht not be such a bad B to have).</p>
<p>Math 1 - w/ calculator 02/04/05 Score 670<br>
U.S. History 12/15/04 Score 660<br>
Writing 02/04/05 Score 650</p>
<p>High School GPA: 3.92 weighted, 3.97 unweighted (not much of a weighting system at my school)</p>
<p>Graduated with honors high school diploma, youth Ski Coach at Attitash Ski Area in NH, National Honor Society, 3 Varsity sports, two of which I was a captain for, High Honor Roll, and a lot of other High School EC's.</p>
<p>I know my standardized test scoresd aren't the best, but what do you guys think?</p>
<p>(I figured this would fare better asking Stanford transfer/accepted students directly instead of the overcrowded chances boards)</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
