<p>Decision: Accepted</p>
<p>A lot of this stuff is really fuzzy, so I quantified what I could on a scale of 1 to 10.</p>
<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] SAT I (breakdown): 2400 SS
[</em>] ACT:
[<em>] SAT II: 800, 790, 800: US History, Literature, Math 2
[</em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
[<em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1/473
[</em>] AP (place score in parenthesis): 5’s in European History, US History, English, Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics B, Calculus BC, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics
[<em>] IB (place score in parenthesis):
[</em>] Senior Year Course Load: I’m doing a lot of graphing this year – bar graphs, stem plots, box plots, you name it. Next semester I’m mixing things up a bit with some Sex Ed.<br>
[<em>] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): NMSF, National AP Scholar, AIME 7/15
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): I’m a president, like Obama. Math Club, Science Club – I run that, yo. I don’t mean to toot my own horn here, but when I run I do so without shoes. I’m known to do a little plumbing around the home front when things get rough. </p>
<p>In all seriousness, the list on my application said I am the president of Math and Science Club and I read math books at home.
