<p>okay so here we go. </p>
<p>I live in california. I go to a small, really really good private school. I came to the US when i was 4 from Russia.
I currently take 3 APs and I think kids at my school think I'm retarded.
(AP Psych, AP Stats, AP Studio Art)
I've taken APUSH and AP Comp Sci AB as well</p>
<p>GPA (weighted) 3.4
-- for UCs my gpa goes up to a 3.6</p>
<p>SAT I: Total = 2020
Cr: 660
Math: 660
Writing: 700</p>
<p>Cool stuff I wrote about in my supplements:</p>
<ul>
<li>I just finished a holiday fundraiser... basically I work with underpriviledged children at an afterschool daycare program at a local public school every wednesday afterschool, so I gave a speech to my school, and raised about $200 worth of today for every kid in the program. there are about 35 kids.</li>
<li>I translated a big chunk of text accompanying an art exhibit (and the album they're doing for the exhibit) for the most prominant art musueum in Ukraine. They invited me to some conference in February too, which I may or may not go to depending on whether I have to travel to campaign for Ron Paul or not (go RP! :) )</li>
</ul>
<p>My main essays were about backpacking, cause pretty much I do it a lot and it's not a common thing and it's influenced me and my college counselor said the essay was perfect, so hopefully that's true. </p>
<p>sooo I've had work experience and some awards and all that cool stuff, but I'm not gonna list that here because I doubt that'll affect the decision too much.</p>
<p>for some schools I'm applying for art, so I guess my academics don't mean as much there. I'm sending in my work as a supplement for the rest. I am actually pretty good, but not the best out there. I eventually want to own and operate a Graphic Design Firm orr do law. haven't decided yet.</p>
