I’m not sure if I will even apply yet, but I would appreciate any feedback.

-Native American male(URM =) from Oklahoma at a top 300 school. I dont know how. School never sends kids to top schools…one to Duke this year but that was a miracle.

-2100 SAT, 32 ACT

-3.7cum GPA(3.5frosh year), about 3.8 from then on. Rank is iffy:probably top 4-8% if not higher

-AP Scores: All 4’s and 5’s, but no AP Calc or AP Physics. Hardest was probably AP Chem

-Only 2 years of a foreign language(terrible counselor advice), and math through Pre-Calc(not an option)

-ECs: I have three passions

1. Tennis-I am a nationally ranked tennis player at a top 10 junior club in the US. This takes up a ton of time, and I play on varsity as well-I have been the only player from our team to make it to state…ha we are terrible, but state is actually a big feat here
2.Volunteering-I have volunteered at nursing homes, the art museum, and with cystic fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is something I can relate to from a personal experience(I dont have it…) so it may be an essay topic. I have tons of hours from this.

2. I created my own small business. I buy art when I travel and online, and I have my own website and EBAY page that I sell art and make a good profit. I have made several thousand dollars since sophomore year. It’s not virtually unknown either-Advertisements are in the urban magazines and the newspaper.
I am also very involved with the school and student council stuff… very involved. I’m one of the people who make the stuff happen!

Chances?
