<p>STATS:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.6
SATs: 1520
Rank is about 70 out 700
Last grades were horrible due to several personal problems, etc:
AP Span= A
Criminal Justice= A & C
AP Stats= C (the worst grade I have ever got in Math or any other subject)
AP Gov=B
AP Lit= B
AP Macro= B
AVID 12= B (She doesn't like me too much; I don't like her neither) =)</p>
<p>I have in USA for two years now and I want to know if I will qualify for top ranked schools or other average schools.</p>
<p>My grades have been average:
Freshman:
Grades are in a 1-10 scale, but I had like almost all 8s (they were really hard classes)</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Fall: 3.0 (It was when I got here, but my grades in Mexico the first two exams periods I got like a 8.7, again very hard classes; this school is a bachelor school and is where President Calderon graduated; they explain that they are a bachelor s. in the letter they gave me to transfer here, but it didn't work with the schools here.)
Spring: 3.7</p>
<p>Junior:
Fall: 3.75
Spring: 3.88
My classes were not the best, but they were the ones that I could take according to the schools and my counselors at that time (my fresno conselour screw my classes.) She made me repeat a lot of courses I had taken in my 7th, 8th, and 9th grades; like biology, geometry and algebra II (in my freshman I took physics, chemistry and trigonometry.) She even made me repeat computers 1 (she said it was a mistake) when I know everything about computers (I attend private schools in Mexico and they teach pretty well in my schools.) Now I have another couselor more competent, but he is sometimes very lazy.</p>
<p>I hate my school's staff and some teachers, but I love some other teachers. I have pretty good recommendation letters; the best one is from my AP Span teacher. =)</p>
<p>I won diplomas in Mexico. Some recognitions also. Here, I haven't receive anything since the school focuses more in students that can pass from a 2.9 to a 3.0. =(</p>
<p>Music
I play 10 or more instruments, honestly I don't remember (all instruments semi-professional), especially my guitar. I have played in 37 concerts (for my schools here and Mexico, national, and some international (all of them were in Mexico though, since my school is well known for music (Yoyo Ma saw me play, but he left before I could talk to him =( )</p>
<p>Sports;
-I played varsity soccer (Captain), basketball, and volleyball.
-I haven't played varsity here because it is a public school and basketball is competitive (I'm not that tall);there is no volleyball team (last year I think they had one, but it suked) and I hate the varsity soccer coaches (they think they are funny (they are not) and they have favorites.)
-I am captain of Mexico F.C. (champions) and also play with Fresno Utd.</p>
<p>Community Service and Work Experience:
-More than 600 hrs in CS in my Church (youth group and Guadalupana Society and member of the music team of the youth group and the Migrant Program)
-I work with my dad in his little photography business (I think just with that I make more than 1000 hrs. in two years and a half.) I worked my dad's friend in Mexico in almost the same thing ( I would guess cause I'm not sure, but I think I got like 300 hrs. in 1 year) Office Clerk for a summer in my 9th grade. (200 hrs)</p>
<p>Essays are pretty good. I explain everything i have passed through but it calls the reader's attention or at least that is what my AP Lit teacher said.
Stats are horrible. (I know, but I can't do anything right now)
ECs are pretty good too. (I guess)</p>
<p>Chance me for these schools I found:</p>
<p>Dickinson College
Mulhenberg College
University of Richmond
Skidmore College
Drew University
Union College
Bard College
College of the Holy Cross
Clark University</p>
<p>If you know about some really good LACs please let me know. Universities, only if they are not too overcrowded. =)
THANKS & HAPPY 2010!!!</p>
Good luck :D</p>
