have lived in US for 4yrs (9th-12th)
thinking of engineering, chemical:mechanical = 8:2, nothing else other than engineering.

gpa 102.71 of 100 weighted (my school has 100-scale)
unweighted is about 97. (*** 100-93 probably equivalent to A, 92-85 to B)

SAT - 2180. (700CR 800M 680W)
SAT2 - math2 800, chem 780, US 550, Physics in December
AP - BC:5 (AB sub:5), chem:5, US:2 (I know I am showing my weakness right away)

Essays - decent (not very good at writing things)
recommendations- great or excellent

Volunteer - 221 hours currently, just turned in few more hours (expect at least about 270)
academic ECs - Math Competitions a lot (amc, aime, arml, and several regional/state titles)
-------------------------------But no usamo, very unfortunate F**K.
chem olympiad (but no further advancement since i’m not a citizen, don’t even know what I got, just not even considered as a candidate)

Activities - math team captain, chinese club vice president (not chinese, tho; just had fun learning it), and random ones like recycling club, science club…
-------- Varsity Track 3yrs; co-captain, and won medals in several meets (school invitational tho; realys and individual; sprinter), JV soccer 2yrs.

No Work Experience.
NO TOEFL taken***

what else I don’t know,

berkeley, mit, stanford, caltech, johns hopkins, u of i, columbia, cooper union, cornell, princeton, washington in st. louis, carnegie (toefl needed (?)), georgia tech, michigan,
harvard (just b/c mom forces me to apply to; not even thinking about going into).

Wow, look how little Ive done for 4 years. but i guess there no more time to make’em up, so i’ll just go with it.

my choices are mit, cornell, stanford, columbia, berkeley in descending order, so be mit the number one choice.

Thanks
