So my nephew is a high school senior, here are his stats and at the end I will be listing the schools he wants to apply to.
GPA= 3.2 unweighted, 3.9 weighted (goes to top magnet school in his state and has been on an upward trend ever since the start of his junior year, ranks 35 out of a class of 82 students). He started out slow his first 2 years at a magnet school.
Test Scores: 800 math, 790 reading and 780 writing. He scored that on his second attempt.
34 on the ACT and he made the following on the subject tests for the SAT
US History: 710
Biology: 740
Volunteer Hours: About 40, 12 of them spent on cleaning up a lake and the rest spent in a hospital working with doctors.
Extra Curricular activities: Soccer Team member, a fitness program captain at his school, HOSA member, Tennis Player, Ecology Club member, started his own SAT Club to help students raise their scores, Academic Decathlon team captain, and he won governor’s honors in Social Studies (US History), Economics and Math.
Other special things: Won an essay competition for the Bantam Classic company in his local area and as a result he was recognized by a congressman from his state. Also he won an essay competition in his school, as a result he had to read the essay out loud in front of everyone in the gym.
State of residence: GA
Colleges on his list (he already applied to his safeties and matches, now he has made his reach school list):
University of Virginia at Charlottesville
Harvard University
Yale University
Princeton University
Columbia University
Brown University
Northwestern University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Georgetown
Boston College
and Johns Hopkins
Does he have a chance at ANY of those universities or does his GPA basically eliminate his chances at the top schools?
asked this on college confidential and I did not get any good replies, all were insults hurled at my nephew and it was a waste of time
Likely YES:
University of Virginia at Charlottesville
Northwestern University
Boston College
Johns Hopkins
Possible YES:
Brown University
Georgetown University
Likely NO:
Harvard University
Yale University
Princeton University
Columbia University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
If I was advising him, I’d suggest he apply to Virginia and Northwestern as his reach schools.
Stronger Seniors Yoga, modified for the chair was created for Seniors and those with limited mobility. It incorporates all of the benefits of yoga (a healthier, stronger and more relaxed you), without the risk of injury from hyperextension that some beginning yoga programs can cause. Participants receive not only the physical aspects of Yoga (postures), but also the more quiet and meditative aspects of breath awareness, good for increasing oxygen intake and for stimulating the relaxation response.
Stronger Seniors Yoga lets you tune in to your own body’s rhythms, let go of mental stress and muscle tension, and increase flexibility- all at the same time.
Stronger Seniors Yoga is good for what ails you.
Specifically, research shows that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases.
Stronger Seniors Yoga also improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina,
reduces stress and tension, boosts self esteem, improves concentration and creativity,
improves circulation, lowers fat and chronically high cortisol levels, stimulates the immune system, and creates sense of well being and calm.

So I’m trying to earn a ROTC scholarship for college(I’ll be entering my senior this fall) and my cousins(one is in the army, one was in AROTC) are helping me improve my physical fitness. We’ve worked on running, push ups, and sit ups. And as far as diet goes all they’ve suggested was potassium, fruits, and a balanced diet in general. I’ve always been overweight, but now I’m really getting into fitness. For the past week I’ve been jogging one mile a day, and doing as many pushups and sit ups for 2 minutes. I’ve found I really like running and sit ups. But now, I want to live a healthier life and I need suggestions to improve my diet. Thanks in advance!
depends on what you want
size and strenth (less reps but more weight)
muscle toning (average weight 18-25 reps)
losing weight (lowere weights 28-35 reps)
This is not a professional bodybuilding or weight lifting video. I am no competition for Jackie Warner. But, as an older woman, I know the value of a good weight lifting program. I also know how you can easily get injured. So in this short video, I’m showing you some ways to modify some of the most popular lifts. I didn’t mention it in the video, but be sure and keep your arms close to your body. This gives you added protection from injury. If you enjoy this, I’ll do more.

Rene Burton is a senior citizen whose personal mission is to change popular misconceptions about aging. In her exercise DVD trilogy, “Healthy Aging: It’s Never Too Late” which is specifically designed for use by seniors age 55 and over, she seeks to redefine what seniors are and what seniors can be called upon to do. The first DVD is Level 1 and intended for beginners. Level 2 is for seniors at the intermediate level of exercise ability. Level 3 features an advanced level exercise regime. Each of these exercise DVDs will improve the physical agility, mobility, strength, posture, muscle tone, eye-hand coordination, and over-all well-being of seniors safely and methodically. The exercises employ standing and chair routines, the use of resistance bands and hand-held weights. Each program includes warm-ups and cool-downs, as well as stretching and breathing to relax. Thoroughly ‘user friendly’ and strongly recommended for personal workouts, the “Healthy Aging: It’s Never Too Late” trilogy can be acquired as separate DVD volumes, but community center and community library exercise DVD collections should acquire the complete trilogy for the benefit of their patrons.” — Midwest Book Review
