Male: White Middle Eastern

NJ public school: does not normally send grads to top schools
average SAT score is 1480 out of 2400
we send a kid to an ivy about once every 3 years…its been God knows how many years since someone went to Princeton (I’m guessing since the 80s or 90s)

rank: 1/190

SAT: 2200 CR: 710 M: 700 W: 790

SAT IIs: US History: 790 Chemistry: 770 MathII: 770

AP’s: US History: 5 Chemistry: 3

I’ve taken the most challenging courseload I can take at my school

…

now to the bad part

EC’s (there isn’t much to do at my school…)

S.H.A.R.E (4 years, community service organization, my main EC)

Varsity Soccer
Varsity Track and Field
NHS (is that even worth mentioning)
Italian Honor Society

I’ve been trying to get a job for a while, but its difficult if you’re 16 and you don’t have connections…(I turn 17 this week)

I managed to volunteer at Mount Sinai Medical Center over the summer because my dad works there…

not many awards available either…(no princeton book award or anything like that)

Rensselaer Medal Award
NJ Governor’s School in Sciences nominee
Boys’ State and other leadership conferences (NYLC, NYLF, etc…) nominee…

I think my essays are pretty good, one is about a unique experience I had with a friend of mine who visited my mosque and how I learned from him…The other is about an influential academic experience…

Once I wrote this, I realized how bad this looks, lol, but do i have as good a shot as anyone?
