I know that I put this up last week, but i didnt get many responses so im doing it again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

have a 92/100 GPA but I take all honors/AP/accel classes and have received academic excellence math. This is unweighted bc my school is dumb and doesnt weight grades. I am in the top 20% but my counseler has mentioned that i could have easily been in the top 10% if grades were weighted. Im pretty sure I have taken some of the most hardest classes avaliable.

I also play many sports. I play baseball (all-stars including advancing to the regional tournerment and gold level travel) and volleyball (varsity), have played basketball (freshmen, AAU), and have done cross-country for my school for three years.

I am also VP of NHS, have been co-president and VP of two other clubs, and am involved in three different clubs. I have also done MANY community service events, have received awards for my services, and have accumulated 200+ hours. I have received the St. Michael’s Book Award for my community service and have been recommended for the YMCA award (honors community service).

I have raised money through various fund-raisers for free-clinic and people who are on Medicaid. Raised over $2000, mentioned it in my app.

I also have work experience. I have worked for a tutoring company called Kumon where i work about 8 hours a week

I have completed an internship for the past two years where i have done cancer and environemntal research. I have published a paper in a journal and have sent my cancer research to Utah to be used to find a cure.

My ACT composite was a 29:
30, 30, 28, 26 (I know its not that good but its not bad considereing the avg is a 28)

My teacher recs- One should be pretty good and the other should be good but not amazing. My chem teacher talked about how i took my interest outside the classroom to pursue research and my history teacher talked abt me working my ass off in his class. i have a pretty good relationship with them.

My essay-Everyone that has read it said it was really good, including admission officers.

I'm applyin to CALS ED and majoring in Bio. I just want to know how i stack up against others.
