<p>This is going to be a long post, so I apologize in advance.</p>
<p>I go to a high school on the Eastern shore, and it's one of the better schools in the state. I'm also Asian (Chinese) so I'm guessing that's already a decreased chance for me. I can speak the language, but I can't read or write it.</p>
<p>Freshman Year:
Fundamentals of Art (mandatory)
Introduction to Law, Research, and Writing (my school is a magnet)
GT Biology
GT Geometry
GT American Government
GT English 9
Spanish IV</p>
<p>At that time, no APs were offered for freshmen. I got straight A's that year.</p>
<p>Sophomore Year
GT Pre Calculus
GT English 10
GT Trial Advocacy (note: I'm not interested in law)
GT Chemistry
Gym (mandatory)
AP World History
Chinese I</p>
<p>I got two Bs that year - in Pre Calculus and....gym. <em>shame</em></p>
<p>Junior Year
GT Physics
AP Calculus AB
AP English Language and Composition
AP Psychology
AP US History
Chinese III (I skipped a level)
Creative Writing</p>
<p>I managed to get all As and then a....C in physics. I hated the class and I hated the teacher and the teacher hated us...so a bad grade was inevitable. I understand colleges don't care about any excuses so I'll just move on.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 3.81/4.0. I'm ranked 20/357 in our class.</p>
<p>Senior Year Sched:
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Biology
AP Human Geo (decided to slack off for this one class on my schedule...human geo is considered a joke at my school)
AP Calculus BC
AP Econn (macro + micro)
Honors Tech (once again, mandatory...)</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
(I did only one club freshmen year...not smart)
Environmental Club - 3 years
Key Club - 2 years (was secretary and am now co-Vice President)
National Honor Society - 2 years (am on executive board for both those years and am running for Vice President)
My school's literary arts magazine - hopefully 2 years (will run for editor; our magazine has won national awards. Which actually leads me to a tangent question. If during the year in which I was part of the magazine, it wins an award, would that be listed as a honors?)
Steering Committee - 2 years (we do fundraisers for our class, class apparel, prom, etc.)
Student Government Association - 3 years (Exec Board for two)
Johns Hopkins Model UN - 1 year
Another Model UN (only for sophomores) - 1 year
Badminton Team - 3 years</p>
<p>Outside of school, I volunteered for a retirement community...but that's basically it.</p>
<p>Honors:
AP Scholar with Distinction
I don't know if this counts, but some of the pieces I wrote in Creative Writing were published in
-our school's literary arts magazine (should I even mention that?)
-Susquehanna University's The Apprentice Writer magazine
-Suzhou Review (a newspaper in my hometown in China...once again, should this even be mentioned?) </p>
