GPA: Probably 4.0, our school uses a 100-point system, and in that my unweighted average is about a 96

PSAT: 230 - CR - 77, Math - 76(darn), WR 77
SATs: Math - 800, Verbal - 700. SAT II: Bio - 750, Chemistry - 790, Physics (self study) - 800, Math level 2 - 800

AP scores: Biology - 5, Computer Science - 5, Calc BC - 5

ECs: XC, spring track, math and spanish tutor, math team (of course),academic team (I got second place overall among total individual scores in the last tournament, although the guy in first place beat me by about 200 points…), and IBM Watson Honors Program (3 hours of lecture/lab for 8 Saturdays)

Awards: None of great significance other than AMC 12 school winner last year (it was our first year doing Math Olympiad so pardon me for not even getting my AIME score from my math teacher -_-)
Current courses: AP Stat, AP Physics (Mech. at school, E & M at local community college), Multivariable calculus (Distance Ed.) AP Chemistry (self study), AP Environmental Science (self study)

Previous research experience: Science Research Training Program (SRTP), 200 hours of research and a completed scientific paper (on AMA-1 in Babesia divergens).

Current research: I had no leads for a research site until recently, and now it looks like I will be starting research at a nearby medical center in the pharmacology division (I plan on doing research on satellite cells and general myology since I want to become a myologist/stem-cell researcher in the future)

What are my chances? Now comes the killer: I live in NY…now what are my chances?
