<p>I am a student at a highly competitive and rigorous public school in California.
My SAT scores are pretty high:
SAT I
2250 total
780 Writing
750 Math
720 CR
SAT II
770 Chemistry
760 US History
My GPA (3.71 unweighted, 4.1 weighted) is also pretty high, for my school at least.
I take all honors/AP classes with the exception of Journalism.
I have been a reporter for my school newspapers (I’ve attended two schools during my high school career) for three years. Currently, I am business manager for my school newspaper. Currently, I have an internship at a highly respected local newspaper.
I also take part in my school’s theater program. I am a member of the production crew and I am in charge of prepping the theater for production. My official title is House Manager.
I am also the president of Model United Nations.
My intended majors are: Molecular Biology (with an emphasis on Genetics) and Mass Communications/Journalism
I have a lengthy list of colleges to which I plan to apply:
-UC Berkeley, LA, SD, Davis, Irvine
-Reed College
-Vassar College
-Rice University
-Northwestern
-Cornell
-NYU
-Brown
-Yale
If you could tell me my chances of getting into these colleges, I would really appreciate it. Keep in mind that one of my parents was a refugee during the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Since you live in CA you will probably have a better shot at the CA schools. </p>
<p>I must ask, though, what the hell does the fact that one of your parents was a refugee in Cambodia have to do with you’re chance to get into college? Did you experience being a refugee yourself?</p>
<p>Anyways,
