<p>Ok, here’s my resume:</p>

<p>GPA ~97.5 (unscaled), ~4.7 (scaled)
Not completely sure about class rank, definitely top 10 though, probably top 5 out of 400
These are the APs I’m going to take, I’m only in chem now, but I fully expect 4s and 5s for all of them (mostly 5s)
AP Chemistry
AP Lit
AP Lang
APUSH
AP Euro
AP Bio
AP Physics
AP Calc
AP Latin</p>

<p>No SATs yet, but projected from PSAT is >2200
SAT II’s - At least chem, any suggestions?</p>

<p>ECs</p>

<p>Varsity sailing
Junior Teacher Club - Leadership position
Underwater robotics team - leadership position
Breakthrough Collaborative teacher - leadership position
BTC Tutor
School tutor
Possible Project
Social media intern @ Cambridge Consumer Council
Technology intern @ Cambridge Police Department
Ashdown exam
National Honor Society</p>

<p>Included in some of these activities is community service, which should total 200-300 hours. Just an aside, becoming a teacher at Breakthrough is exceptionally tough, definitely not as hard but close to Teach for America. So, chances? Brutal honesty please. Thanks!</p>

<p>As is I would say just above the acceptance rate, maybe like 15%. You have some very interesting EC’s, and if you can relate them well in your essays that could significantly increase your chances. Also, it is a little hard to tell considering you haven’t taken an SAT yet, just remember to study hard for it. As far as SAT II’s go, my suggestion is whatever AP history you are in next year (U.S. preferably) and Math II. Both of those exams are quite easy. If you are not the greatest math student (though those EC’s would indicate you are), then swap the Math II with Literature. I found that test pretty difficult myself, but I have friends that found it easy. Best of luck!</p>
