I know I just did a chance thread a few weeks ago, and sorry to do it once again, however, after lots of thought I have decided to aim my college goals higher (hey, what can it hurt?) so i thought I would change the schools and update a little info. Thanks again.


GPA: Cumulative about 4.3 weighted, 3.7 unweighted
*worst part, I know.
Classes: Taken 2 AP classes so far. Plan to take 10 by the time I have graduated

School: Pretty good MAGNET school in Oklahoma

Ethnicity: Native American. Yes a real native american...

Scores: Hope to get ACT to at least a 32. Also hoping to get national merit, however, I am unsure about the national merit thing.

Ranking: About 20 in a class of 410

I am a solid writer, so I plan on writing a very good essay.

Extra Circulars- (I think I shine in leadership?, tennis)

Student Council: Very involved with leadership at school, regional, state, and national level. Student Council officer (Secretary 11th , Prez 12th grade) , state student council president, attended national student council convention(11th, 12th)- it is difficult to become a delegate to go to this. I will have my student council advisor right a recommendation and this will be very good.



Tennis: 3 Year Varsity captain (thus far), will be a 4 year. 3 year MVP (Thus far), should be 4 year. State, regional, and national level play.. Play at a competitive academy and hit with the varsity tennis team at a local DI university. National Ranked, State Ranked...

Some volunteer stuff- Nothing amazing, but some things with hospice and cystic fibrosis.

I hope my tennis and student council accomplishments stand out..

Schools:

UC Berkeley (Haas)

Stanford

NYU (Stern)- Tennis Recruit, although it doesn't help much at NYU

Dartmouth- (had a friend get in with a 3.5 and a 30 act last year, so that helps a little)

Harvard, Princeton (Ha.. only a dream huh)

Columbia (Dream school!!!!!)

Williams, Amherst-Tennis Recruit (Once again, probably doesn't help much)

MIT- (haha..yeah. MIT)- Tennis Recruit, may not help.

Safeties- Tulsa and a few more!

Thanks again all.

I guess I forgot to say that I am looking for some constructive criticism as well..besides the obvious keep up your GPA and test scores etc.

COLLEGEPLOX

well your GPA and stats in general(except EC's) are a little low for most of the schools you're applying to, but the fact that you're Native American is a HUGE help. Damn, i'm jealous, lol.
