<p>Hello, everyone. I go to a Yeshiva--a school for Orthodox Jews. We spend morning with Jewish stuff and in the afternoon we have secular classes. This translates into a 7:30 AM-8:00 PM schedule during the week. Obviously, there's not a lot of time for extra-curricular activities. We have a school newspaper (more like a humor magazine), but we have no advisor. I am the editor and chief. I play piano in a band for Jewish events (dancing on certain holidays and other happy occasions) and that same band has gone and played a few times as an oldies band at a bar. There's a few other things that I do--teach a class at the synagauge, play intermural sports--but that's pretty much as much as we can do. </p>
<p>I've gotten fives on AP Bio and Economics, and I'm taking AP Calc and English now. I took the SAT's last week, but I'm expecting a score in the 1500's. Let's say SAT II's are in the 700's. I look at everyone else in this forum, and they have a million things on their resumes to show off. Is there any hope for me to get into colleges like Penn, Columbia, Harvard?</p>
