I'm quite sure i should be able to get good recs. some from my mentors at nih, who are well qualified. i think i have a good relationship withmy teachers also. I'll hopefully have good essays . I actually thought about essays and i don't want them to be fake or anything. I plan to be honest. I've though about maybe writing about issues/problems i've had with my parents living in a strict indian family.

haha. i know someone's gonna tell me that this is so much ASSUMING, but i just want to have a general idea for my situation, assuming that i'm capable of doing all these things.
and anyone have any suggestions for me?

bump. thanks for your opinion

Since, like you said, there is a lot of assuming, it's hard to say right now. Until you know your SATs/ACT it's hard to say for Stanford, Yale, etc. Seems like you have great classes taken/planned. If you continue with the 4.0, and get good AP scores, you'll probably be very likely at most of those schools. Great ECs as well... state tennis frosh and soph year, wow

I don't think i'm going to take the ACT's. i just plan on doing really well on my sat. but thanks
