<p>Yo guys, chance me if you can please.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>SAT I: 2180 (690 M, 760 W and 730 R)
SAT II: Planning on taking Literature, Math I and World History.</p>

<p>IB: Predicted 43/45 Total (Economics HL 7, History HL 7, English HL 6, Biology SL 7, Maths Studies 7, Arabic Ab Initio 6)</p>

<p>GPA: British system school, so we don't really have GPAs. I achieved 7 A*s and 4 As at GCSE though and my IB predicteds are quite high, so I assume I would be close to 4.0.</p>

<p>ECAs:</p>

<p>300+ Hours of Community Service (Including self organized trip to India for 3 weeks during summer to volunteer at an autism center, and further volunteering in Chaing Mai, Thailand)</p>

<p>Leader of the Community Service Team at School; organize fundraising initiatives for local charities throughout the year.</p>

<p>Head of Design for School Magazine in Grade 9.</p>

<p>Won overall first place at the Japan Karate Association Tournament in Bahrain, 2011.</p>

<p>Member of MUN Organizing Committee (Head of Communications).</p>

<ul>
<li>Some other small stuff.</li>
</ul>

<p>Essays:</p>

<p>First one was about my trip to India, how it compelled me to strive to improve the world that I live in. Not bad, not great either. 6/10</p>

<p>Second one was about the gym, how I had weight problems and eventually grew to love the gym for the personal qualities it gave me. Better, still not amazing. 7/10</p>

<p>Other:</p>

<p>I'm an international applicant. Live in Bahrain (small island in the Middle East), have Iranian roots but a German citizenship. </p>
