<p>Just got my october SAT scores, so I wanted to make one final chances thread! </p>
<p>Gender: Female
Race: White
Location: Northern California
GPA: 4.0/4.0 UW 4.7/5.0 W
Rank: Due to weird things we JC classes I believe I am currently 2/ 450ish but it changes pretty frequently. Although I was first at the beginning of the year and sent my Brown transcript shortly after I saw that so that transcript may still say I am first.
Took the most rigorous course load possible, I did not take AP US history or AP Spanish which are offered at my school solely because I could not fit them into my schedule without giving up some other AP class.
AP Scores:
Chemistry : 5
Biology: 5
Statistics: 5
English Language: 4
Current Classes:
AP Gov (econ in the spring)
Ceramics (nothing else to take)
AP Lit
AP Calc AB (bc is not offered, and without doing summer school the earliest you can take calculus in my school system is senior year)
AP Physics
Then I have a free sixth period, but at the local junior college (which is a highly ranked junior college) I am taking Spanish 3 ( I have already taken 3 years of spanish in high school but the prerequisites were such that they decided three years of high school spanish but you in spanish 3 at the JC) and will take spanish 4 (the highest level offered) in the spring. I am also taking conversational Chinese (chin50a) in the fall and will take chin50b in the spring (only Chinese classes offered).</p>
<p>Testing Scores;
ACT: 33 Composite, 34 English, 36 Math, 33 Science and.....27 Reading. Essay was 10.
SAT I :
2220 total: 730R, 800M, 690W E8 ( I honestly don't know how I got that essay score, I thought my essay was 1000X better than my other sat or my act essay, both of which got 10's. And I had 5 paragraphs and filled every single line on the pages.)
2030 total: 620R, 740M (missed 2), 670W E10</p>
<p>SAT II's: Math II: 800, Chemsitry: 780</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
I have down horseback riding since 3rd grade, and now own my own horse and spend 2-3 hours daily caring for her / riding for her, etc. I plan to sell my horse when I go to college, but the intercollegiate horseback riding competitions do not use personal horses, so I plan to join (or at least try out for) Brown's horseback riding team, which is considered a varsity sport at Brown.</p>
<p>I am president of my high schools Key Club (community service). Last year I was secretary and was a member sophomore year. I have done nearly 200 hours of community service through Key Club, and when you combine com. service and admin. hours I devote at least 3-4 hours a week to Key Club.</p>
<p>This summer I had a three week program through John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth in Nanjing, China. I took a course in Advanced Game Theory which sparked my interest in Economics. We also took basic mandarin there which interested me in Chinese (which is why I'm taking it at the junior college currently).</p>
<p>Other extracurriculars include math club since sophomore year, science symposium since sophomore year, and assorted other clubs.</p>
<p>Prospective Majors: Economics, East Asian Studies (Chinese), Mathematics, or Computer Science.</p>
