<p>I'm a current Junior, I live in London but am attending school on an American curriculum.
It's an incredibly rigorous school.
This year my GPA is 3.67, but because of a bad transition from America to London freshman year, my overall GPA (unweighted) is 3.0.
I don't know my SAT scores yet, but Im sure they'll be pretty good because I've been doing a lot of tutoring.
I've taken AP Literature this year and AP Psychology. I'm doubling up in English, which is incredibly rare at my school. Next year I'm taking AP Spanish, AP Art History, and AP Language. I'm not sure what my AP scores are yet, obviously.
My "hook" is that I'm pretty recognized as a poet. I've been published in a few places, recently won a 3000 pound poetry award through The University of Oxford, work with writer William Fiennes in a creative writing program, do many creative writing programs with recognized poets on the weekends (ie: Jane Draycott, Simon Armitage), and have done poetry readings at places as big as Trafalgar Square. I'm assuming my intense ambition will, hopefully, weight me in a positive way and direct attention away from my scores. (If you must know, I've had A's consistently in English since freshman year, so it's mainly sciences that have brought my GPA down)
I'm not <em>really</em> sure what schools I want to go to, but I've been recommended Vassar, Brown, Bard, and Sarah Lawrence. I'm not too keen on a few because the girl-guy ratio, but oh well.
Could you chance me, please?
Oh, and if you could think of another school I'd do well in, tell me? I've hit a bit of a wall with finding schools.</p>
<p>You should look at Oberlin and Kenyon. Your GPA will be a major problem for Brown and Vassar, but if they value your accomplishments with poetry, maybe.</p>
<p>Check out Hampshire and Bennington as well. I think you have a pretty good chance at Bard and SLC. Vassar is a long shot, and Brown is almost definitely out.</p>
