<p>I have dreamed of going to Barnard since I went there when I was 12 with the girl scouts.
Here are my stats:</p>
<p>I am 17 years old and I'm black Panamanian(hispanic) female</p>
<p>SAT: 1040 (460 V, 580 M) - I know it's a really low score.
I plan on taking the ACT in Dec.
GPA: 3.3 at a college preparatory all-girl catholic high school (w/ challenging workload)
School rank is 41 out of 84 (which i know....is average)</p>
<p>Classes taken:
(4 years of....English, Math, Language,Religion)
3 science courses - earth science, biology, chemistry
2 years of spanish and 2 years of french
3 years of history - 2 years of global history and american history
1/2 a year of music for 2 years (except for senior yr - 1 year of music)
1/2 a year of art for 2 years
1 year of speech class</p>
<p>Math taken:
9th - Math A honors into Math A/B
10th - Math B
11th - Pre-Calculus
12th- AP Calculus</p>

<p>I know my class schedule is not really impressive but I tried to get into any advanced class that I could take. </p>
<p>I took a summer program for liberal arts at Long Island University which I received 3 credits in and have a 4.0 average.
Presently, I am taking at LIU a psychology course which would give me another 3 credits and in the spring I will receive another 3 credits when I take a philosophy course.</p>
<p>The 3 LIU course + AP Calc = will equal to 12 college credits before I enter college. </p>

<p>Recommendations from 2 English teachers, US Government</p>
<p>I had my interview with a senior that went great. I got to show my personality and she genuinely liked and thought it was acceptable.</p>
<p>Plus, possibly a student referral from a Barnard alumni and a graduated from my high school to put with my application. </p>
<p>Also, my friend got accepted to barnard and she is pesently attending but she was the valedictorian of her class. Any opinions, do you think I can get in?</p>
