<p>Private Schools I applied to:
University of Illinois
Purdue University
USC
Stanford (just for the heck of it)
Princeton (My half sister goes to Princeton so applied to see if i can get any bump haha 0.o)</p>

<p>Plan to Major in Civil Engineering.</p>

<p>African-American; Specifically Nigerian I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA for 17 years, my whole life.
Weighted GPA: 4.32
Unweighted GPA: 3.7…

<p>Freshman Year, Mostly Honors but 1 class
Sophomore Year, All Honors and 1 AP (the most i can take, which was World History)

Senior Year, 5 AP classes (AP Physics C, Calc BC, Biology, English Lit and Comp, and Government) and Contemporary Media</p>

<p>I am possibly the worst test-taker there is…

SAT (taken 4 months later): 1580 (2010 Junior Year) (440 read 630 math 510 writing)

AP Lang: 3 (Junior Year)
AP Calc AB: 3 (Junior Year)</p>

<p>Hmm, i can say i am an optimistic individual, always thinking positive, pretty confident, not afraid to challenge myself, hence the reason im still a senior taking 5 AP Classes; It did not seem to bad Junior Year, i can manage my time pretty well; no Job tho so yeah</p>

<p>Freshman Year did Tennis, Sophomore Year to now this year ill be doing Volleyball, JV and Varsity</p>

<p>TBH i feel bad i didn’t join any clubs or get hours until my summer to senior year and this year =( I got 100+ Hours at my local library over the summer, like 30 hours per week. I am in Interact Club this year, and CSF (just started this 2010-2011 school year), and the Science Club that i made with my friends this year that helps provide tutors for those in need on science subjects (Chem, Physics, Bio, etc.)</p>

<p>What are my Chances??! Thanks.</p>

<p>BUMP! erwqrwe</p>

<p>Hmm, No Posts!? BUMMP</p>

<p>Hmm, I see i See</p>

<p>bumping for OP cause he is pretty desperate haha.
WEll being a minority will definitely be ur hook.
as, OP has high GPA and rank at a large school, but his score is not very up to the standard, ECs are standard if not weak. ill say, purude match, USC reach,illinois reach, stanford HIIIIIIIIGHHH reach, same with princeton even if ur sister goes there.</p>
