SATII: Math IIC-760, Chem-(June 05)
Courseload: have been taking hardest classes in 9/10. Taking rigorous courses, but not loading up on 5 APs like my friends. Currently: AP United States History, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, Eng III Honors, Choir, Newspaper, Spanish 3, self-studying AP Human Geography; senior courseload will be very rigorous (i.e., 3 sciences [nearly impossible at my school])</p>

Scholarship in 8th grade to selective girl's math/science camp held at Stanford for a week (okay, so I'm trying to make myself sound better)
PSAT commended (assuming with a 209 in CA)</p>
<p>Recs: well...iffy at this point. I know one teacher will write an excellent rec because she wrote one for me to volunteer at the hospital. Others will be average to good for now.</p>
<p>Essay: Good to Excellent. I love writing in my own voice as opposed to stiffening it up for English and history.</p>
<p>Looking at: JHU (ED?), Northwestern (ED?), UPenn (ED?), University of the Pacific (UOP), UCLA, UCSD, UCB, UCI, UCR, UCM, Stanford (mom wants me to)</p>
<p>Further suggestions for premed-oriented big/medium universities would be nice (Please no midwestern states, preferably CA, IL, or New England) :) Thank you!!!</p>
