I'm just going to get to it. Details (personal stuff), then academics, then EC's.
I want to be a bio major. Probably genetics or neuroscience.

------Personal-------

-Sex: Male
-Ethnicity: I was born here, but my parents are Iranian, so that'd make me white I suppose. I'm also fluent in Farsi (language in Iran), which helps a buttload.
-Age: 17

-------Academics-------
-Homeschooled (no report card )
-Took four college courses at a community college here, and I will be attending public high school as a senior this year.

--College course grades--
-Algebra II - A
-Freshman Comp. - A
-Precalculus - B
-Biology - A
-Cum GPA: 3.8

-----SAT-----
M 620
V 540 (I'm retaking it, and I will definitely hit the 650 mark on math and verbal.)
W 610 (Got every question right, but a crap essay score.)

I have yet to take Math II and Bio E/M subject tests in November, and retake SAT I in October.

I don't know if my class schedule for twelfth grade will affect my chances at my chosen colleges. I'm not too familiar with that stuff....

My homeschooled courses from ninth grade to eleventh grade.
---9th Grade---
-Algebra I
-World Literature/Vocabulary&Poetry/Grammar&Composition (very demanding load for one class)
-Health science
-Physical science
-World geography


---10th Grade---
-Algebra II
-World Literature/Vocab./Grammar&Comp.
-Biology
-World History
-Spanish I

---11th grade---
-Plane Geometry
-English Literature/Vocab./Grammar&Comp.
-Chemistry
-US History (favorite subject hands down...well, after bio)
-Spanish II
-Life Management (third favorite subject, mainly because I had the same teacher in US History)

I still have to see what classes I'll be taking this year.

-----Extracurriculars-----
Not much, actually.
-100+ hours at Stony Brook hospital
-part of the Suffolk County Orchid Society
-play the guitar (hope it counts for something....)


-------Selected Colleges-------

---Safeties---
-SUNY Stony Brook
-Syracuse University
-Union College (I might knock that one off my list, still not 100% sure.)

I won't say if I match or "reach" any colleges, because I'm not sure. But, these are the colleges I want to apply to along with the above:

-U of Rochester
-Boston University
-George Washington University

That's all for now. If anyone has a suggestion on a college I should add on my list, please let me know, and you can base it on the three above.

I honestly don't know how to chance you, since you're such an unusual case. Your GPA, which is one of the most important factors in application, is just completely different. I would say get your SAT up, and maybe squeeze in a few more EC's.

Perhaps I should post this in the homeschooled thread?
