| Chance me? (:
I'm an Asian female and a junior (class of 2013) at an average public high school in the midwest. I'm applying to WashU RD.
Academics:
4.65 (w), 3.75 (uw) GPA; (all A's except for 3 B's in Hon. Physics, AP Chem, and AP Calc BC)
All honors or AP classes with the most rigorous course load possible at my school, I've actually taken some classes a year early
About top 2-3% of my class
ACT composite score of 34; E: 35, M: 34, R: 33, S: 33, writing: 8 (I'm taking it again so hopefully my composite and writing scores will increase)
I'm taking the SAT II in October in Math 2 and English Lit and hopefully my scores will be 700+
I'm definitely going to be at least a National Merit Commended Scholar and possibly a Semi-Finalist
Extracurriculars:
Yearbook junior and senior years; copy editor senior year
National Honor Society vice-president senior year
Spanish Honors Society committee member senior year
Local volunteer organization sophomore, junior, and senior years; in council junior and senior years
Science Olympiad team sophomore, junior, and senior years; vice-president junior and senior years
Math team for 4 years
Student Council sophomore and junior years

I've volunteered for 250+ hours total throughout high school, mostly in my community. I also volunteered at a local university's science lab for about 50 hours last summer and volunteered about 50 hours teaching English overseas 2 summers ago.
Awards:
Regional Science Olympiad competition: (sophomore year) 1st place in forensics and astronomy; (junior year) 1st place in forensics, 2nd in water quality, 3rd in microbe mission)
School award for leadership
Made it to State for Math Team every year

Thanks for the help!! I'll chance you back if you want, too!
