<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I’m and '09er looking at schools like HPY, Georgetown, Penn, Cornell, Duke, UVA, Tufts, Amherst, etc. </p>

<p>I’m from the West, am #1 in my class at the state’s most exclusive private school (though we don’t do class rank). I have a 4.17 GPA weighted, like a 3.95 unweighted. </p>

<p>ACT: 34
APs: All 5s
SAT Subject Tests: 780 US History, 750 Physics, 740 Lit</p>

<p>The only negative I can really think of is that the 3rd tri junior year I received a few A-s and a B is Photography, which is a bit out of the ordinary for me. Otherwise I take the most rigorous schedule allowed. </p>

<p>I think you have great chances at HYP (higher than most other non URMs and legacies) and amazing chances everywhere else. Your focused ec’s with politics/conservation really stand out and when adcoms look at your application, they’ll really want to meet you and have you on their campus.</p>
