Education & Reference - 12 June 2007

I have a 3.7 GPA, I got a 140 on my PSAT for sophomore year, so probably I'll be like in the 1200 - 1250 range for SATs. I am the editor of my high school newspaper, I am in a selective program called STS for student to student mentor program. I am a state coordinator for a non profit organization involved in the Darfur crisis. I am the student council elected representative at large for my high school, a rep of all the students for the board of ed meetings. I am taking AP English and AP Art History, along with honors history. I am aiming for NYU but where do you honestly think I could go with my record?

I was curious about how teachers are certified in other states, where I live (Virginia), there is no 'Education' degree, you have to major in something else and take the courses for an education degree. In addition to taking the Praxis I and II. Is it like this in other states?

I'm officially a junior now. I have decent grades, but I'm lacking in extracurricular activities. Is it too late to start volunteering and still get in? I'm really determined to into Berkeley (not through transferring however). The only things I can think of "special" about me is passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test and helping take care of my now 6-year-old cousins. I don't know if this will help give me an advantage, but I live about an hour away from Berkeley and I'm a first-generation student from a low income family.

I hope there's someone out there like me who got in despite the lateness...

I'm not looking for general answers like "Do extracurricular activities." I need examples. I want to make this summer very constructive.

Please help me! I'm a willing student and I've changed a lot (I used to be the "loner" in elementary & middle school.). I've become more confident lately.

I am planning to major in economics... looking at Stanford and MIT.

I go to a public high school, probably one of the top in the city of Chicago. Will probably graduate top 5% of class. Courseload is very challenging with many AP classes.

GPA: 3.92/4 unweighted, 5.04 weighted
ACT: 33
SAT: 2160

Extracurriculars
Plays on Chess Team (3rd place in state 2006, 2nd place 2007).. I also will be the captain this year.

I'm an active chess player that plays chess outside of school in many local and national tournaments.

Math Counts, Math Team, NJHS, Ping Pong
Outside of class, I serve as a teaching assistant for a Kung Fu class (I've been taking Kung Fu for 7 years). I also am part of a Lion Dance group that performs around the area, so this can count as job experience.

Small things include my frequent traveling, piano playing, tutoring experience...

So what are my chances?
