Hi. I just completed my sophomore year in high school and am interested in attending either Northwestern or Cornell. I am concerned about whether I will be well qualified for these schools by the start of my senior year and wish to seek some guidance regarding where I stand and areas in which I may need improvement. My information is as follows:

Ethnicity: Asian American

First Language: English

PSAT: 210
77 math
73 writing
60 reading

SAT II:
Biology 700

Unweighted GPA: 3.667
Weighted: 4.0
(with 4 honors classes)
I intend to take AP classes in US History and Physics B next year.

Extra Curriculars: Track, Paddling, Co-President of one community service club, Science Bowl Team, school orchestra, volunteer at a local hospital, vice president of “young democrats” club.

I am an active participant in class. All of my mentors write postive comments in my report cards which range in quality from “good student” to “best in years.”

I would appreciate any advice and tips that you have to offer!
Much thanks!
Brenton
