<p>I am an international student from an island in the UK. I am full caucasian and male (not sure whether this matters at all or not). I am applying to study business for fall 2011 at:</p>
<p>SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Plattsburgh
Rutgers New Brunswick or Newark
Penn state University park or Altoona (preferably the former)
UNC Wilmington</p>
<p>My SAT wasn't great 1110/1600 or 1670/2400. Math 540 Reading 570 Writing 560 Essay 8. It is a slight improvement on my last SAT score of 1600, but not as much as i was expecting.</p>
<p>My GCSE results were 3 A's, 4 B's and 5 C's (2 of the C's were done 2 years early). Not actually sure if these will be taken into account or not. My AS level results were not quite as i expected, i got B C D E but some re-takes should sort that out and i should end up with full A-levels of ABC/ACC. The A will be in business, not sure if that will help at all.</p>
<p>I go to the best school on my island, it is private with about 120 students in my year group. My school does not do GPA or class rank. I have got fairly solid recommendations and my essays are alright.</p>
<p>Every friday afternoon i help out at a charity shop for an hour. I have some work experience at 2 local law firms, one was for 3 weeks and i was a junior law assistant and i got to go to court to see a massive trial which was cool. The other was monday afternoons for about 4 hours over 6 weeks, in which i got to see all the different areas of a law firm, which was very interesting. I currently work at a large retailer as a sales assistant and have done for over a year now. I did a competition called Young Enterprise last year where we were put into teams and then had to either create a product or event. I was the IT director and along with my deputy performed all the IT related tasks ranging from creating posters and doing spreadsheets.</p>
<p>In terms of EC's i have:
Soccer all my life in and out of school
I dabble in various sports
Played cricket in my freshman year
Same for tabble tennis and athletics</p>
<p>I have gained house colours at every level during my school career. These are given out to students who perform the most in house activities, only about 5 out of about 25 people in each house year group get them. I also have a level 1 soccer coaching award, so i can coach soccer to kids.</p>
<p>Financial aid is not required.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
