<p>Hey guys :D
I'm currently a freshman in Germany (9th grade) and will enter Sophomore in about 5 weeks.
The thing is, the German school system doesn't offer a US-curriculum and everything is a lot harder than in the US. </p>
<p>GPA: German school system doesn't give GPAs >.< What marks should I use to substitute for the GPA? Sophomore year marks?</p>
<p>TOEFL: Haven't taken it yet but I'm an A-student in English</p>
<p>SAT I: Will take it next year. Should I take the PSAT first?
CR: I pwn at that, but I don't really know what to expect =/
Math: B-C student in math >.<
Writing: Essays are easy for me. </p>
<p>SAT subject tests:
- German
- Italian
- Japanese</p>
<p>To the APs: In sophomore, I'll have 4 subjects equivalent to the APs.
-German-LK (double-weighted in score); A-
-English-LK (just like German) - A
-Biology - A-
-Social Sciences (Politics, Economy and Sociology) - A
(the marks listed are freshman marks >.<)</p>
<p>Other subjects:
-Italian
-Philosophy
-Geography
-History
-Math
-Visual education (Architecture)
-Chemistry
-Latin</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
-School press
-Active member of a political party in Germany
-Chorus Club
-Japanese Language Study (prep for JLPT; My absolute passion)
-Debate team</p>
<p>Awards:
-Art award in Elementary school (3rd place)
-Award for Sponsored Walk for Haiti (1st place)
-Award for international English Contest (2nd place)</p>
<p>I know, I lack in leadership positions - I'm probably not ready yet. Additionally, I'm a native Greek speaker who came to Germany in only two years of age.
I speak 5 languages and I'm learning Japanese.</p>
