<p>My Community Service so far is 100+ hours.. but I plan to rapidly increase that number this year, through the volunteer clubs I mentioned above, and through volunteerwork at a local hospital as an intern. (I plan on going into the medical field so this also might help) </p>
<p>I have also participated in many races around the island that benefit charity, such as Run for the Whales, in which I placed 1st, in 2012. and I'm going to participate in Relay for Life 2013.</p>
<p>I am not 100% sure yet, but I might be going to Nicaragua in February to help teach English to kids in poverty with some kids from my school. How much would this help?</p>
<p>I am proficient in: English, Spanish, and Italian.
I have basic knowledge in: Japanese, Croatian, and Portuguese</p>
<p>Testing -</p>
<p>I have not taken the SAT nor the ACT yet...
What should I aim for?</p>
<p>I just got my PSAT scores back the other day. I received a 216. (68 Reading, 80 Math, 68 Writing) Is this a good projection of what I will probably get on the SAT? </p>
<p>So based on what you've seen so far - do you believe I have a standing chance for these colleges? I'm pretty sure the Ivies will be a reach.. but Mahalo in advance!</p>
