<p>Hiya, I’m an Asian American male currently in junior year of high school. I goto what’s generally considered the best (or second best) private school in NYC.
I’m definitely in the top 5%, academically speaking, but my extra-curriculars, I think, are my main problem. Here are the stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.67 unweighted
APs: 1 for soph, 3 for junior, and 3 for senior
SATI:750 math, 660 reading, 780 writing (11 on the essay)
SATIIs:640 math 1, 680 US History
Extracurriculars: Cartoon and illustration (2nd, 3rd, 4th years), New York State Science Honors Society (3rd and 4th), Medical science club (2nd, 3rd, and 4th), Asian American Society (1st-4th years), Gardening and wood/metal crafts (not clubs/organizations in school, but I do it in my spare time, if that counts at all. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years.)</p>

<p>Also, I’m planning on applying with a biology major in mind, something relating to the environment, but I haven’t taken a science SATII yet. Exactly how necessary is a science SATII? I’m worried I’ll get a low grade, since all the info from the AP Bio class won’t be fresh in my mind. Thanks a lot for reading!</p>

<p>bump-a-roo?</p>

<p>Decent chances, apply ED if you definitely want to go</p>

4

<p>I agree. Your ec’s are a little lacking, but you seem like a pretty good candidate. Apply ED if you really want to go.</p>

5

<p>Well, I’ll also be getting 3 years of Christian Service, which is mandatory at my school, and 2 years of CPR Training. Does that count?</p>

6

<p>If you have extra space I’d include it (although they will obviously realize the christian thing…but hey, why not).</p>

7

<p>Since when does it take 2 years to learn CPR?</p>

8

<p>Probably means…lifeguard training? good question lol</p>

<p>Oh nooo, I’m liscenced to perform CPR by the Red Cross for one year so far, and in another month I’m going to get a renewal class, since I have to get re-tested every year.</p>
