I’m a 10th grader from India, interested in biology. I’m also female, if that helps .

Will be applying for class of 2014.

Won’t be needing financial aid

Let’s split this up into sub-fields, so that it’s easier to read.

Grades:Awesome. Top few students in the class. No problems here.

Standardized tests: Taking the ACT in October, let’s see how it goes, but I’m getting 34’s in practise tests from the Rea ACT Book. SAT 2’s should be pretty good as well.

EC’s (where I think I need to focus):

National level athlete
Zillions of sports at the school level
Heavy involvement in MUN.
School magazine stuff.
Over the next 2 years, I’ll probably be highly involved with in-school and some state-level cultural activities.
Gonna start biological research in a few months.
Plan to do quite a bit of volunteer work from next summer on (I’ll have a 2 or 3-month break in May)

These EC’s are the ones I’ll be continuing till I’m done with school

Recs: Should be pretty good. I’m on amazing terms with all my teachers

Essays: Expect them to be good, I feel I’m quite a good writer

Pomona sounds very appealing to me at the moment. Its strength in my field of choice as of now is an added bonus. Plus, west-coast weather rocks! Think I’m headed in the right direction as of now?
