<p>I live in california. I go to a small, really really good private school. I came to the US when i was 4 from Russia. </p>
<p>GPA BEFORE I GOT 3 C's (weighted) 3.4, UC GPA 3.6 weighted
i don't know what the GPA is after, but i got a C in AP Psych and a C+ AP Stats and another C+ in International Issues & Public Policy.
other than that, i got 1 B-, 1 B+, and 1 A. </p>
<p>SAT I: Total = 2020
Cr: 660
Math: 660
Writing: 700</p>
<hr>
<p>SAT II:
US History: 610 (which sucks cause i got a 4 on the AP)
Literature: 700</p>
<p>Cool stuff I wrote about in my supplements:</p>
<ul>
<li>I just finished a holiday fundraiser... basically I work with underpriviledged children at an afterschool daycare program at a local public school every wednesday afterschool, so I gave a speech to my school, and raised about $200 worth of today for every kid in the program. there are about 35 kids.</li>
<li>I translated a big chunk of text accompanying an art exhibit (and the album they're doing for the exhibit) for the most prominant art musueum in Ukraine. They invited me to a conference in February as well</li>
</ul>
<p>My main essays were about backpacking, cause pretty much I do it a lot and it's not a common thing and it's influenced me and my college counselor said the essay was perfect, so hopefully that's true. </p>
<p>sooo I've had work experience and some awards and all that cool stuff, but I'm not gonna list that here because I doubt that'll affect the decision too much.</p>
<p>for some schools I'm applying for art, so I guess my academics don't mean as much there. I'm sending in my work as a supplement for the rest. I am actually pretty good, but not the best out there. I eventually want to own and operate a Graphic Design Firm orr do law. haven't decided yet.</p>
