It's not all academics. You also need forceps.

Your academic credentials are fantastic! If you don't know your class rank (or if your school doesn't rank), that's fine. You should know where you stand in your class (Do you typically get the highest scores on tests in your classes, or are your more the middle-of-the-road?). I think you should look into where kids with similar scores from your school have gone in previous years. Let's look at this individually: 1) Your GPA is excellent. An unweighted GPA above 3.8 is awesome, especially if you take hard classes! 2) Your class rigor seems to be very high, so that, combined with a high GPA, looks excellent. Your academic standards are awesome. 3) Your SAT/ACT score, sadly, will be a big factor in determining what colleges you can go to. Getting a 2400 is by NO MEANS necessary. However, you are going to need a 2000+ or 30+. Ideally, try your BEST to get a 33+ or 2200+. If you can do that, you will be in for smooth sailing :). Do not let standardized tests overwhelm you, but make sure they won't hurt you in the admissions process. 4) Your extracurriculars are great! They show great leadership and potential, so I think you should emphasize your medical interests. So let's look at your schools. You will EASILY get into Hardin-Simmons. Don't even fret about that...it is a safety school for you. Wake Forest, with a 2000 SAT score, is a match for you but leaning towards a safety still. If you get a 2200+ score, you are in no problem. Rice and Bowdoin are much more difficult, but armed with a competitive SAT score, good recommendations, and a unique essay you will be in with a VERY good chance. Also, I suggest you add some higher reaches to your list, such as Brown, Cornell. and Duke. These schools are very hard to get into and are much more "score-based" than your others, but if you get a good SAT/ACT score I would definitely apply. My last piece of advice is about the SAT. Do not stress about it! I got a 193 on the PSATs (which is good but I wasn't happy). With a little preparation I got a 2320 on the actual SAT. Do not get down on yourself...you are evidently a brilliant person and you have so much to be proud of. Enjoy the rest of your time in high school, because it really does fly by.

I bet you know that your academic standards are excellent and because of that you should have the confidence to enter in Hardin - Simmons,Wake Forest,Rice,or even Bowdoin so whatever or wherever you choose to go it's all up to you cause everything falls into your hands. To help you get your confidence back, lets try to look into some things that you have given to me cause I bet all of these do qualify, Things that you have accomplished: 1)You just said to us that your extra curriculars are all great! and you also added that you took a class called Basic Medical Practice, so why not take up medical school! 2)Your GPA is excellent. An unweighted GPA above 3.8 is awesome, especially if you take hard classes! Few people have GPA's like you! 3)Well it is sad to hear that you haven't taken up the SAT/ACT,still you made a way by learning in ACT so that a good news for you! 4) Your class rigor needs to be very high, so that, combined with a high GPA, it will turn out to be excellent. So getting into schools like Hardin-Simmons wont be hard for you.My advice to you for now is that you should enjoy your time while it lasts cause time is gold and we use gold to provide our needs and our main need is our happiness that's all! I bet you could get in it with your abilities and talents getting in would be easy just have fun and do well.

What should I sing for Oldies
What should I sing for Oldies?
A select choir that I'm in does a thing every year called Oldies, where we go to nursing homes and sing. Each of us (there's 16 of us) sings a solo from between 1920-1970. I'm a mezzo-soprano belter. Here's a video of my voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbN6rrNpPfQ I have absolutely no idea where to begin, there's SO much music. Help!

sing im on a boat or i just had sex, ro the way u love me by hilson
2 :
A few suggestions that those oldies would be familiar with would be most ABBA songs. I'd suggest for your voice, something like Fernando, Girl with the Golden Hair or maybe Chiquitita. You could also try Bridge over troubled water by Simon and Garfunkel or maybe Aretha Franklin's Respect or Dionne Warwick's Say a little Prayer.

Is anyone willing to edit this? Its andout Amelia Earhart
Is anyone willing to edit this? Its andout Amelia Earhart?
Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. Her Mother, Amy was the first person to climb to the top of Pikes Peak, in Colorado. Her sister, Muriel was born 2 ½ years later. They both had a passion for reading. The Otis family was quite wealthy from Amy’s Father, Alfred Gideon Otis who was a judge and also president of the Atchison savings bank, and it carried through the Earhart Family. It was 1908 when Amelia saw her first airplane, they were rare, made of rusty wire a wood and she was not impressed. 1911, Amy's father died from old age leaving 1 million dollars for her and the girls. In 1915 Edwin, Amelia’s Father left Amy and the girls because of his drinking problem was getting out of hand. In 1918, she abandoned all her plans of a collage degree to become a nurse for The Red Cross. She never liked how women could only do certain stuff and were underestimated. While working she caught flu that soon turned into pneumonia, then moved to New York to recover. She decided to take a course, car engine repair for women. Then she moved to attend Columbia University. A few months later she realized she was not cut out to be a doctor, and she thought about medical research. When she was twenty-three years old she joined both her parents to try and keep them together, but all failed. While there she met a boy named Sam Champman, who was chemical Engineer. Whom she got to know very well. Then she took lessons from Neta Snook, who was one of the first female pilots. Neta knew she was not ready to fly but on her first attempt she had crashed while trying to take flight, no one was hurt just little injuries. In 1922 Amelia bought her first Airplane The Canary for $2,000. She was going to go in her first air show to break the record. She got 2 tickets one for her father and one for Muriel. Amelia broke the record and got 14,000 feet high but not too long after Ruth Nichols flew higher. She was not going to attempt again because she did not have enough money to fly for fuel and for a place to live so she sold her first airplane. 1924 was a rough year for Amelia, she suffered from sinus problems and had to get surgery, her parents divorced. She had bought a new plane called the Kinner plane. Not too long later she had to sell it because she needed a more convenient form of transformation so she bought a bright yellow car, Kissel. She was still having problems with her sinus problems so she had to get another operation. Sam had proposed many times but Amelia turned them all down, and the same year Charles Lindbergh broke the record of the first person to make it across the Atlantic Ocean by himself in 33 hours and 30 minutes. Railey, Captain H.H. called Amelia he was given a job to find the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic ocean with a male crew. A week later she went to new York to learn more of flight, two days later she had been chosen to be caption of the flight, but she would get no money only the pilot and mechanic’s would. There had been 4 other women who had tried to make the attempt but all failed. She took off on June 17, 1928 with the friendship plane but then was running out of fuel so they landed in a small town called Burry Port, Wales. She finally made it back to her destination in 20 hours and 40 minutes. In 1930 Amelia’s father passed away. George Putman who work with the press and closely with Amelia and they began to fall in love he proposed to her 5 times through the years 1930-1931 but all of the times she said she wasn’t ready. On the sixth Proposal she said yes. February 7 1931 they got married they had a very, very small wedding with only 4 guests. Amelia kept her last name Earhart. She wanted to try something different, so she was going to attempt setting a record with the autogiro (a cross between and helicopter and an airplane). On April 8 1931 she set the altitude record of 18,451 feet (5,624 m). Amelia then decided that she would cross the Atlantic Ocean solo, since it had been 5 years since Lindbergh’s flight. The altimeter failed (instrument showing how height you were) failed but she could still go without it. Not too long after she realized that her fuel tank was leaking she was worries it would get into the exhaust and blow up so as soon as she caught sight of land she landed, and was right back up in the air again. she had flown 2,026 miles in 14 hours and 16 minutes and beat the previous record of 16 hours 12 minutes. She was the first women, second person to go across the Atlantic Ocean twice in the shortest time ever, and had flown the longest non-stop flight by a woman. She stayed in Paris where George came and met her. Since then she had broken many more flight records and set brand new ones.
