Chance me for T20s
Hey guys, please be honest. I'm obviously stressed and I really just want an honest breakdown of possible choices for me.
*Current Junior*
Stats:
1540 SAT
Unweighted GPA - 4.0
No class rankings at my school, but definitely at the top of my class
Asian male
Intended major: something pre-med, probably chem, bio, or biochem -- I would like to minor in German
AP's:
*My school doesn't let underclassmen take AP's, hence my not so great list*
Also haven't taken any exams yet, but I'm gonna assume I get all 4's and 5's here.
AP German, AP Chem, AP physics mechanics, AP precalc, AP Calc AB, Ap calc BC, AP stats, AP lit
Extracurriculars (not in any order)
- Varsity Baseball 4 years + Captain
- Varsity Esports 4 years + Captain
- Varsity Indoor Track 4 years + Captain
- Varsity soccer 2 years
- President of club that assists refugees, we organized many drives, 5ks, and other events to support refugees
- President of Sports Marketing club - grew the club from only 10 ish active members (at meetings and events) to over 50+ active members which is huge bc my school only has around 500 students.
- President of HOSA - haven't had much impact yet as I just got it
- Dialogue Facilitator leader/trainer - been doing since freshman year. We essentially lead hard conversations (political conversations, abortion, after someone in the community passes away) and I train the new facilitators (over 80 of them) to lead these conversations.
- Was Troop guide (mentor younger boy scouts), Den Chief (mentor cub scouts) , and Assistant senior patrol leader of my Boy Scout troop (pretty much vice president of the troop, did tons of planning and work)
- Run a meme account on Instagram and YouTube with over 15k followers (Insta) and over 100M views. (this ones kinda stupid ik but it doesn't hurt)
- Publishing research with a Cancer Biologist expert over the summer - this one can be strong I think, but I'm still developing it currently
- Did a medical (paid) program for two weeks at Brown, this is what sparked my interest

D3 Baseball schools - I haven't touched on this yet, but I am a baseball player and I want to play in college. I'm not good enough to play D1 or D2, but I have a good shot at playing at d3 schools. The schools that I have reached out to regarding playing there are: Johns Hopkins, MIT, CalTech, WashU, Emory, Tufts, Uchicago, NYU. Playing in college is really a dream of mine, as I've been playing baseball forever. However, if I got into one of the non d3 schools that is significantly a better school, I would probably go with that one.
Please, just be honest with me, I'm confident that I am a qualified individual, but I know that some of the colleges I am applying to are incredibly difficult to get into. If you have any recommendations for other schools to apply to, feel free.
