Well i never thought id do this for at least a few more months but a few days ago i just got back from visiting BC and it is definatly my number one pick right now as it has been for a while. Right now im wiggin out because competition is very fierce and im very worried. Im currently a junior attending a decent but not really wll known public school in the nyc burbs (westchester county). White Catholic in a very catholic town.

Rigor of courses is very intense. Im a year ahead in math, science, and foreing langauge so I took many of my regular freshmen classes in 8th grade and am currently taking some typical senior classes. Pretty much all honors. Took one ap last year euro (did horrible got a three when i expected a five, didnt get much sleep night before and wrote crap essays). This year im taking three aps, US, Enviromental (Im very dedicated to the study my ec’s back it up not a joke class for me), and English 11 (langauge composition). Psat worked out to like a 1450/1600 and im projecting at least a 2150 or so when i take the sat’s this weekend based on board practice tests. GPA is complete crap, our school doesnt weight but it works out to like a crappy 88 (no band/chorus/gym 100’s boosting it up, pretty much all core classes and a few difficult arts). GPA is really low due to rather bad family violence, dad seprated from mom and now lives across the country in california. I only see him once a month or so. Im gonna work this into my essay really well i think. School is very difficult, doesnt rank but i think after weighting im still top 10% at the very least (we do have a very abnormally high amount of insanely smart people in our class compared to others, my best friend has an iq of over 170 (aspergers).

EC’s

Will have 4 years varsity X-c with captain next year and will prolly make states next year (barely missed it this year)
Will have 4 years varsity track and am currently captain this year, will also prolly make states this year
10 years of competitive swimming during the summers.
Echo (community service club) will have 4 years.
My trump card: Founded very unique charity (10th grade) which uses capatalism for the good of cancer research. Not yet really recognized (were currently flying under the radar on purpose, legal stuff) but we will be soon i gaurentee.
100 hrs community service over past 4 years at local nature reserve.
Part time job on weekends at independent coffee shop.
Yeah not a lot of variety but all this i pour my life into. Prolly spend up to 24 hours a week on running alone (long meets!) during the height of the season. Have a lot more insignifigent stuff but i left it out.

Im a very good writer and i am hoping to write a really good unique essay (already have ideas cooked up).

Yeah i know a lot of blanks and incomplete stuff which can drastically change my chances but i just want to hear some opinions. Grades are on an upward curve after reaching a low point in 10th grade (family stuff) and im hoping to get all a’s this year.

cheers,
Mik
