| Chances for a girl with aspirations!!! <3 Please note that I am not yet a senior. I am making a few assumptions here, all of which are in my extracurriculars.
I want to study Biology. General Information:
High School: One of the top 20 in the US. (It's a boarding school not in NY)
Sex: Female
Location: NY
Ethnicity: White Stats:
GPA: approximately 90 (it's very good in context of the school I go to)
Rank: School does not rank.
SAT: 2180 (CR: 700, M: 720, W: 760 [12 Essay])
SAT II's: 800 Math IIC, 720 US History, 760 Bio M, 680 Lit
ACT: 32 Significant Extracurriculars:
Math Team: 4 years (Captain during Jr. Year)
Engineering Team: 3 years
School Newspaper: 4 years; Positions held: Staff writer, Business Manager, Publisher (basically 2nd in command )
Internship at a prestigious cancer research lab: Spent over 360 hours here during my sophomore year summer, and will spend all of my junior year summer there as well. I will probably publish a couple papers this summer.

Sports: I've done sports every season of every year in high school (mostly track/cross country)
Quiz Bowl: Team founder and captain (Junior and Senior years) Significant Awards:

- School Fellowship ($3,500): This is one of the things that makes my application unique. The fellowship that I won is awarded to one student in my grade every year, and it's extremely competitive. My fellowship has a lot to do with my focus on cancer research, and I will be going to the pacific rim to pursue it.
- I will be applying to the Siemens-Westinghouse competition. Schools that I'm interested in: (This list does not include every school I'm considering--just the ones I'd like to be chanced for. Do I have any chance at the following?)
