SATIs: 2130 (M: 730 CR: 730 W:670)
SATIIs. 650 lit, I KNOW ITS SO BAD, i retook lit and did Math II in november so no idea about that
were just really not made for standardized testing here. </p>
<p>First language English
Can speak Persian (teaching myself how to read/write) </p>
<p>Academics:
we dont have GPA's or AP classes or anything like that at my school, they dont rank classes either. Its a really reputable world IB school, United world college if anybody knows it...
I took GCSEs in grades 9-10, and got 8 A*s and one A.</p>
<p>My subjects right now are:
Higher: Chemistry, History, English A1
Standards: Math, Spanish B, Business</p>
<p>My predicted right now is about 40 without bonus points (Highers: 677 respectively, and Standards: 767 respectively) I'm pretty sure I can get all three bonus points as well. So i'm looking at about 42-43? (out of 45 for those who dont know)</p>
<p>I want to major in international relations by the way. </p>
<p>ECs:
1) Vice-chair/Treasurer of 'Child Workers in Nepal' in my school for four years now, fundraising/awareness raising, great activity i really love doing it.
2) Senior Touch Rugby Girls team, i know you really dont have alot of touch rugby over there in the states but i play in international tournaments in bangkok (thailand) and kl (malaysia) against other international schools, where we usually come top. also we were invited to Brisbane Australia for a tournament this october which was a HUGE deal (200+ teams) some of the top touch in the world. was brillaint
3) Piano for over 8 years, 8th grade practical, 5th grade theory, and first concert certificate as well
4) yearbook team during grade 11, but for us our yearbook team is a bit like a business , as in the school doesnt fund it so i was on the Business Team, and had to call companies persuading them to buy ad space, then had to write contracts/proposals etcs.
5) 'Chao Yang' - a school for disabled children during grades 9-10 , worked with the kids weekly</p>
<p>and CAS if anyone knows it: 50 hours service, 50 action, and 50 creative - needed to get our diploma</p>
<p>I went to vietnam for a week to work with an orphanage and i brought that into my page 217 essay question for Penn... i havnt written others yet so i dont know if i can bring that in or not (dont worry - not in a cliched way at all - hopefully)</p>
<p>Ummmm i cant think of what else!? Ive done more but everything up above is what ive included in my common app.
i felt like theyd prefer if i showed commitment to a few ECs over the years rather than like a trillion listed right? I mean ive played tennis since i was liek 3 in various clubs in Singapore and stuff, like other services. tell me if i should include more things! </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure my recs are really good and essays are solid i guess...
I did a summer course at Brown Unviversity on 'The US in World Politics' (IR related obviously) and i got a rec from my professor and sent that in too... </p>
<p>and im not applying with financial aid (which should help me right cuz tehy arent exactly 'need-blind' to international apps)</p>
<p>My schools areee:
UPenn (ED)

Columbia
Brown
