I am a high school sophomore this year and have just started looking at colleges. Target major right now is Biomedical Engineering but I'm not dead set yet. I go to a very rigorous high school in a very competitive district and many from my district have been accepted into the ivies before. My district goes on a weighted 5.0 GPA scale where AP and PreAP classes count as 5.0 credits and normal academic classes plus electives count as 4.0 credits. I currently have a 4.35 weighted GPA and 3.92 unweighted GPA. My SAT is a 1510 and ACT is 33, but I'm going to retake these again this summer as well as take some SAT subject tests. I am very active in fine arts extracurricular activities as well. I'm an officer (uniform chair) of my school's Choir department, I'm in the varsity top-level choir at my school plus my school's show choir and by the time I graduate I will be a 7 year choir member (this is an award in my school district). I am also a member of MNHS (music national honor society), and I made Texas All State Mixed Choir as 1st chair Soprano 1 (1st in state basically) this year and have participated twice in the UIL solo and ensemble contest: my freshman year earning a superior rating on a class 2 solo and this year a superior rating on a class 1 solo (so this year I advance to state). I am active in my school's theater department and have been in several shows both in my school's company and outside of school through community theater. I am also a member of my high school's Thespian Troupe (troupe 7014, and this is basically national honor society for theater). I am also a member of my high school's chapter of NHS. I've also dabbled in my school's Science Olympiad team some. Does this point towards strong candidacy?
