<p>Haha another worthless chances thread, but at least I know its stupid. Still, makes me get a better feel of what the likelyhood is. A friend told me about this site and I figure why not ask around. Thanks for any ideas on what I should send in, my chances, etc</p>

<p>SAT: 1580 (800 M / 780 V)</p>

<p>SAT2: 740 MIC, 710 MIIC, 740 Writing, 690 US Hist, 690 English</p>

<p>AP: 5 Statistics, 5 US Hist, 4 English</p>

<p>Current Classes: Honors Humanities, AP Modern Euro, Spanish 4, AP BC Calc, AP Bio, International Relations; taking hardest classes available. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.558 for soph/jr year combined, 3.783 for first quarter of senior year. </p>

<p>School: Our school leaves them weighted, and it is on a 4=A, .5 extra for
AP/Honors. So highest possible is 4.5 if you had all As in all APs. I am about 8-15 range out of 70 students in my grade, in a very competitive school. People have gotten into Dartmouth, JHU, Williams, Yale, Stanford, Duke, UVA, William and Mary, etc. </p>

<p>Extra Curricular: Dorm council (student council for boarders, elected by 40 other boarders), Varsity Squash 3 years, Basketball (AAU + School), Academic “A” Team for 3 years (One of the top teams in the nation, have won numerous scholarships and $), Science A Team 3 years, Model Organizations general committees, School Play.</p>

<p>Other activities: Stand up comedy (performed at club), Worked at Ben and Jerrys for 2 and 1/2 years, worked for rivals100.com for two years. Both paid well </p>

<p>Dad went to Harvard/Duke Med. Mom went to Brown/Harvard SOPH. I spent summer between soph/jr years at Amherst taking classes. Summer between jr/sr years at Harvard taking classes, which I got 8 credits for (received B+ in both classes). The SSP thing, got a reference from teacher.</p>

<p>Submitted extra materials from Academic team tournament (Scholarship info (have won close to $2000 or so for my school with team) and program from the night I did the standup comedy set. Essays were good, as were recs, although I didnt see them. Just assuming, I mean not like the teacher is gonna bash me. </p>

<p>Oh right, received a couple honors:
-Honor roll after sophomore year, high honors after junior year
-National Merit Commendation
-AP Scholar
-Ben Carson Nominee (8th grade so not that big deal)
-Academic team has won a crapload of stuff. </p>

<p>Located in Virginia</p>
