<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>Well it might give us an idea of your chances if you told us what level of school you’re looking at. Your scores and EC’s are all great (i’m assuming 97.5 is unweighted). I’d say you’ll be a good candidate for Ivy level schools, although maybe not quite the very top ones (like Harvard).
Also, what is your area of interest? You have great EC’s if you’re looking at teaching, but if you’re interested in something else it isn’t really reflected in your activities. If it’s something besides teaching, your EC’s might seem a little irrelevant since there is nothing to show your actual passion.
One last note- if you are reaching for a ivy-level school, an internship or research project would be a good boost for you.</p>
