<p>I would be soo happy if you just skimmed this at least and chanced me!!! (I am a prospective Int. Studies or History major)</p>
<p>I am going to be a high school junior this upcoming year and I am pretty sure my first choice is Boston College, though the other three are my next top choices. I attend a public high school in Vermont and take as many of the most rigorous courses it offers as I can.</p>
<p>-I have taken one course with the University of Vermont under the Gifted and Talented high schoolers program, but have not received my grade yet. I am hoping that the fact it is called "Hockey in Canadian Literature" may show I take initiative in my education and take classes I enjoy! heehee
-I played soccer for the past two years but will not be involved with it for the next two.
-I was involved in the H20 (Help 2 Others) Club this past year and next year, and will most likely be the president of it my senior year.
-I am planning to finish my high school career with 6 APs (Studio Art, Calculus, Statistics, U.S. History, European History, and English). Have so far completed honors in Earth Systems Science and American Experience (required 10th grade history/english class).
-I have maintained a 4.0 unweighted GPA since I began high school and plan on keeping it that way, and I have never received a B as a final grade in any class thus far (woohoo).
-Will finish HS with 4 years of French, and more than 4 years in every other core subject.
-I have volunteered 27 hours over 4 months at a local museum so far.
-I had decent PSATs last year, each in the 610 range, but I expect to do much better on the SATs and this fall's PSATs.
-I am planning on getting involved in our Red Cross Club this year and will volunteer other places as well.
-Will be in the National Honor Society for the next two years.
-Will be involved in Model UN senior year.
-No personal awards yet but I hope I will get some!
-Involved as a student ambassador in my sophomore year for incoming freshmen to my HS.
-I hope and expect to be in the top 5 - top 10 of my graduating class of about 200 students.
-I will most likely be going on a missions trip with my Christian - Protestant church next summer, to either Ecuador or Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>And finally, here are the science and math classes I will be getting credit for (I m not including history or English courses because I have way more than enough):</p>
<p>Experimental Chemistry
Earth Systems Science
Engineering Lab
Experimental Biology
Principles of Physics
AP Stats
AP Calc
Geometry
Algebra I
Algebra II / Trigonometry
PreCalculus</p>
<p>Do you think I have a decent shot at getting in to each/any of my top 4 colleges? Also, will it hurt my chances if I don't get a job until the summer before I apply? THANK YOU!</p>
