we don´t have any honors or ap classes in austria, all our courses weigh the same, plus we take 13 subjects each year. my leaving transcript from my matura (exams after which you are allowed to go to univesity): A, A, A, A, C (guess where... ah, right in math)
so gpa would be 3.7 (using the 4-A, 3-B, etc) scale</p>
<p>extracurriculars are pretty outstanding (i was told, i would never say sth like that myself!), not the usual stuff: i have been politically active since 14, chaired a student´s organisation (nationwide) that organized the first viennese student´s parliament (in the actual parliament building ^^);
founding member of two political clubs that organize street performances, workshops, etc in order to sensitize the public for intolerance (anit-racism, anti-sexism orientated projects)
i have organized a 4000 visitors music festival in summer 2009 as a charity event for an austrian refugee iinitiative
an exchange semester in manchester, uk
student´s counsil etc
2nd in national snowboard championship (would be the equivalent to the varsity team i think, even if training is only a few times per year)
1st in viennese women´s soccer championship
3rd in Viennese badminton championship
artist, i paint, draw and take photographs. princeton students told me to definitely send the arts supplement
my dad is an assistant professor at princeton university and i have been auditing lectures the whole fall term (i wrote a paper in a philosophy course and got a B, without precepts etc)
my essays are said to be amazing (one dealing with my experience in manchester, the other being a bit scurrile, about philosophers that inspired me the most)
as might get from my ecs i want to major in politics, philosophy and religion (so far)
also interested in women´s and gender studies, teacher preparation
oh yh teacher recs are awesome!! (i couldnt believe it myself, they really like me^^)</p>
<p>so sorry for the long post, i don´t know what else to include, and so i stop ^^
thank you so much for doing yet another annoying chancing threat</p>
