Impressive resume, I must say. You would get accepted into probably all of the schools because your GPA and standardized test scores are awesome. My suggestion to you is that you should check out the links below so that you can get a first hand idea about these schools. There you will also get to read reviews written by students who go there and other relevant information (last date for admissions). http://www.unigo.com/duke_university/ http://www.unigo.com/georgetown_university/ http://www.unigo.com/michigan_state_university/ http://www.unigo.com/michigan_state_university/ http://www.unigo.com/yale_university/

How Much To Price My ps2
How Much To Price My ps2?
Here is what I'm selling on craigslist. Hi, We are looking to sell our ps2 and 7 games. The ps2 works wonderfully, we have never had any problems with it. The controllers work well too, never had any problems with them either. It comes with all cords needed to attach it, one 8MB memory card, & 2 controllers. It comes with the following used games in great condition (played probably only 5 or so times each & all but 2 have manuals) -Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix (rated E 10+) -Pirates of the Caribbean at Worlds End, comes with manual (rated T) -Sonic MEGA Collection PLUS, comes with manual (rated E) (7 classic Sonic Games {Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball, Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine, Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3} plus 6 additional Sonic Game Gear Titles, unlockable games & secrets, re-designed interface & extra bonus material) -SEGA Classics Collection, has manual (rated T) (Outrun, Space Harrier, Virtua Racing, Monaco GP, Tant R, Golden Axe, Columns, Fantasy Zone, Bonanza, Bros., Alien Syndrome) -PAC-MAN Fever, has manual (rated E) -Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (rated E) -Lets Ride Silver Buckle Stables, comes with manual (rated E) So what should I price this all at? I was thinking around $60-$75 what do you think it it worth? By the way, it looks like this http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/ps2-photo.jpg It is the older, bulkier version probably, it looks just like this one http://wikicheats.gametrailers.com/images/3/36/Sony_PlayStation_2.jpg So that is the older, bulkier version right?

Thats about a good price. But is the PS2 a slim version? or is it the older, bulky model? If its the bulky one then lower your price to 50-55

How does my resume look for an Ivy League school
How does my resume look for an Ivy League school?
I am a junior in high school, with a passion for business. I am already thinking of applying to the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton). I do need other schools to apply to though...help? I will be taking my SAT II's in June and APs in May. Here are my credentials: Unweighted: 4.0 ACT Composite: 33 ACT Math: 35 ACT Reading: 36 Rank: Top 5%; unfortunately, my school doesn't do ranks. However, my class consists of more than 400 kids... APs taken/planned to take: -Calc BC -English Lit -European History -Macroeconomics -Microeconomics -Physics B -Psychology -Spanish -US Government -World History Honors Classes: -Honors Physics -Honors Pre-Calc -Honors World Lit -Honors American Lit -Honors American History -Honors Algebra -Honors Geometry Other Classes Pertaining to Business: Marketing Independent Study in Marketing Economics Accounting Clubs/Sports/Other -Varsity Tennis (11-12)/Captain--(12) -DECA (10-12)--4th place and 1st place at States; Honorable Mention at Internationals (twice) -Model United Nations (11-12)/Ambassador Extraordinaire(11-12) -National Honor Society (11-12)/President(12) -Volunteer Impact Program (11-12)Secretary(11)/President(12) -Student Leadership (10-12) ----In leadership, I'm in charge of Spirit Court Elections as well as Class Elections ----Volunteer at Graduation every year ----Part of Staff Appreciation Committee in Leadership (we give little gifts to teachers bi-monthly) -100+ Hours of Community Service -Winterfest Class of 2010 Princess -Kumon (since I was 4) and have completed the program in both Reading and Math -Piano (since I was 4, till I was 16) -Honor Roll, all high school years SAT Subject Tests (will be taking) -Math II -World History -Spanish -Literature Summers: Volunteered all my summers Before Freshmen year - I traveled the Mediterranean, learning the culture of Italy, Spain, Monaco and Croatia for 2 weeks.

I will also be planning a school Carnival with my friend to raise money for MDA (the Muscular Dystrophy Association). Also, I will be setting up events for my NHS chapter. So I was just wondering what you thought of my chances. I do know that I need a killer essay and a great interview but I know I can pull those off well. My basically assured university is the University of Michigan as I have contacts there, I am from the state of Michigan and my school is the largest sender into U of M. But, any other schools you'd recommend? Remember...I like business ;) Economics could work too. Let me know if you need any other information from me! Hey Dorothy--thanks! I actually do play sports. It's listed. Varsity Tennis--2 years.

Wow! Your resume is amazing! You definitely have a good chance of getting into the school of your choice. You have a lot of community service and your gpa is really good. The classes you are taking are going to put you ahead of most applicants. I wish you the best of luck!

You are better than I am ; I got into an Ivy League; You should get in. Reg'ds Adi

Your resume` is very impressive! The only thing that could be seen as a (slight) setback is the fact that you have no involvement in sports, which Ivy Leagues really like. So, to be on the safe side, consider looking at some other great public and private schools such as Stanford , Kenyon College, Johns Hopkins, Towson, Loyolla, JFK U, Boston U. Colgate. Edit: Well, with that long list, I missed it! Your resume` is truly outstanding and I think you'll get in!
