Princeton Review Board Community

http://www.esurveyspro.com/Survey.…

I'm a high school senior who's been working on some social science research with the Intel Science Program for the past few months. I need to survey as many people as possible to take my survey, and would appreciate it if any of you did.

Hello,

I'm a rising sophomore, I am an Asian from Canada and I just have a few questions.

( Stats.... :SCollapse )
So my questions are as follows:
1. I live in a very small community. Therefore I have extremely limited resources and opportunities for volunteer work, competition, and such. Any ideas on how I can make the most of my situation? I'm also very concerned that for the same reason, I will not be able to get into any decent colleges in the states. Will top colleges consider me if I have taken advantage of all the very little opportunities I have, or will they just disregard my application altogether?

2. What else can I do to improve my resume?

3. As of right now, I hope to study international relations and/or history; and ideally get into law school. Which SAT 2 tests would be the most beneficial for me to take?

4. If you have any recommendations for schools that wouldn't be too far out of reach for me, it would be greatly appreciated!

Anyway, thanks for your time to look through all of this! Any advice would be helpful to me at this point.

College Campuses - Admit Week

THE END OF MARCH and early April mark the most nerve-wracking and exciting time of the year for high school seniors: spring is in the air, senioritis is in full bloom, "prom" is a word issued in every other conversation, and of course, college admissions are sent out. Although we all feel like we will have completed our lives' purpose by April 1, life continues, just like the emails from That One College in Texarkana keep coming even after you marked them as spam. ( That's why the Mods at College Campuses have decided to hold a 'Meet 'n' Greet' of sorts on April 5th to serve the 156 members of the community (or anyone else who stumbles upon it on an evening stroll through the internet).Collapse ) - -

College Campuses

Some of you may remember the post about a new community called collegecampuses I made about a while back. Well, we're not so new anymore. With over 100 members, 50 posts, and 800 photos posted in the last three weeks, collegecampuses is on the roll! If you're interested in finding the campus that fits you, please, stop by, join, and see what we have to offer. ukrazy

Introducing collegecampuses

collegecampuses is a new, photo-based livejournal community created to give prospective students the opportunity to view the campuses of colleges and universities they may not be able to visit. At collegecampuses, we're attempting to compile user-taken images into a easy-to-use tag-based library for the student of the class of 2013 and beyond. Please join, post, comment, and add to the community! The more you use collegecampuses, the more you help others find their fit.

The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition is pleased to announce the release of its 2008 GENIUS Survey in partnership with Ernst & Young.  GenderPAC works to ensure that classrooms, communities and workplaces are safe for everyone to learn, grow and succeed.

 

The Gender Equality National Index for Universities & Schools (GENIUS), GenderPAC’s most recent effort to end discrimination and promote awareness, encourages colleges and universities to recognize the benefits of a GenderSAFE^tm campus - supportive equitable and protective for all students. Choosing to participate in GENUIS sends a strong public statement that bullying or discriminating based on the race, sex or gender of a student, faculty, or staff member is not tolerated at your institution

 

Fill out the survey at:  www.gpac.org/GENIUS2008survey, and make sure that we have data for as many schools as possible. Your voice will help us continue to work towards a safe and welcoming environment for every student.

 

While we greatly appreciate the interest taken in GENIUS by students, staff and faculty at academic institutions outside of the United States, at this time GENIUS is only able to track schools based in the United States.

I am currently a high school junior in a middle-sized school in Florida. I was just wondering if I could get some suggestions and advice on what else to do to help better my chances to get into the schools I would like to eventually go to.



Weighted GPA: 4.5
Unweighted GPA: 3.7
SAT Math- 600
SAT Verbal-600
SAT Writing- 610
10 on the essay. I have only taken the SATs once.
I am ranked 16 out of around 600.
All of the classes I have taken so far: AP Human geography, AP world history, AP english language, AP calculus, AP us history, AP Biology, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Precalc, Honors English 1, Honors English 2, Marketing 1 (advanced to states), Honors Chemistry, Honors Integrated Science, Health, P.E., Food Prep (its required =\), Computers (also required), Honors Marine Science, French 1, 2, and 3 Honors. Next year I plan on taking AP Statistics, AP English Literature, AP Psychology, AP Comparative Government, AP Government/Econ., Anatomy Honors, and Marketing 3 Honors. I have made A's, B+'s, and B's on all of my semester grades.

Extra Curricular: French Club, DECA, Varsity Volleyball, Key Club, National Honors Society, Mu Alpha Theta (math honors society), and I play club/travel volleyball. I am the Social Action Vice President and the Fundraising Vice President of my youth group. I attended a summer-long program in California specifically for volunteering and performing community service at local organizations. I also have taken a major role in Camp Jenny, which is a camp for underprivileged children in inner-city Atlanta. We basically give them the "camp experience" over Memorial Day weekend which they otherwise would not have. I have over 267 service hours, and taken part in Meals on Wheels, and volunteered at MANY other places.

I am also traveling abroad for the spring semester of my junior year. I plan on taking the SATs and ACTs when I get back in June, hopefully bringing my score up to at least a 1350. By the end of my high school career I am going to have over the required amount of credits, and I am going to have taken (hopefully) 11 APs. Personal information: I am a Latin Jew, my father went to the University of Miami and my mother went to the University of Alabama. I am interested in going to either GWU, WashU, or Emory. I am also looking into Rice, UMiami, Duke, and all of the major Florida universities, including UF, FSU, and UCF.

Please please please, let me know if you think I am shooting too high. I am trying to plan out my summer now, and I'm deciding between volunteering/an internship or doing precollege at GWU. If you have any recommendations on schools that are more in range with my grades/ec/scores, please let me know. That would be a HUGE help!

I checked http://whogotin.info but there is nobody, please report if you are the one

Hey, everyone, I'm asking for chances because I'm kinda interested in knowing what kind of colleges would be good matches for me:

I'm a southeast-asian female in the top highschool in her state (probably top 10% of class). My weighted GPA is ~4.8, and I don't know my unweighted GPA but it should be around ~3.6 to 3.8 range. I'm taking a very difficult courseload (5 AP classes, 2 Honors courses). The regular classes in my schedule were P.E., by the way! In my freshman year, I took all honors courses except 1 class (with straight A's), in my sophomore year (2 APs, 4 Honors, 1 Regular), and straight A's. This year I'm taking 5 AP classes, 2 Honors, and getting 4 B's and 3 A's. My PSAT score was 196, and I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet.

I took the PSAT & PLAN last year. I have also taken it this year but have not received my scores yet. My PSAT from last year predicts I will score between a 28-32 on the ACT and approx. ~2150 on my SAT. I haven't taken SAT IIs yet, but plan to take 3 by the end of junior year.

I had already taken Algebra, Geometry, Environmental Science, Biology, CIT, and Spanish I before I entered highschool, so here's what I took:

Freshman: American Lit, Trigonometry, Comp Sci., Physics, Spanish II, World Studies
Sophomore: British Lit, Precalc, AP Comp Sci, Chemistry, Spanish III, APUSH
Junior: AP Language & Comp, AP BC Calc, Art 1, AP Biology, Spanish IV, AP Gov't & Politics, AP Statistics

My extracurriculars so far include an after school peer-writing service, an acadec team, poetry team, a national political-group chapter, NHS, and a program teaching kids in local neighborhoods. I'm a junior with 7 extra HS credits (because I started taking highschool classes in 7th grade). I will be graduating with 35 credits (28 is the minimum) and will have taken hopefully 13 AP classes by the time I graduate.

Some personal information.. I'm a first-generation student and I have a sister in college. My father went to college in his home country but my mother never finished highschool.

The thing is, I kind of want to go to the following schools but they are kind of super-reaches: MIT & Princeton. I'm also interested in U of C, Northwestern, and Yale. I know it sounds like I am reaching super-high, but if you can suggest some alternative schools or provide me with some insight in the choices that I've already provided, that would be super.

Thank you!
