Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone! I would really appreciate if you could chance me for these schools. </p>

<p>Spanish (Spain) Female from low-income family. Boston, MA asking for financial aid (important).</p>

<p>Major: Science, possibly biology or neuroscience (Pre-med)</p>

<p>STATS:
GPA 3.73 unweighted, 4.2 weighted
SAT 2100
SAT II Chemistry 730, Biology 760, Spanish 800
AP Biology 5, Psychology 4, Art I 4, Art II 5 (also honors)</p>

<p>EXTRACURRICULAR:
Volleyball 4 years (captain)
Ice Hockey 2 years
Art club
Tutor (spanish, chemistry)
Babysitting (?)</p>

<p>AWARDS in chemistry, math, foreign language, art (winning art competition with gold medals 2 years in a row), National Art Honor Society, principal's honors list (9-12), National AP Scholar with Distinction</p>

<p>Not much community service to be honest though I've been volunteering now at a hospital as a patient representative in the ER for about 13 weeks and in Pediatrics for 6 weeks one day per week. Also a couple of months/weeks work experience shadowing doctors and surgeons (I'm planning to become a doctor) but I don't think that will make much of a difference? Not sure.</p>

<p>ALSO I have a strange but interesting story I believe. Basically, I graduated in 2010 but I didn't enroll in college/uni because my family and I won the green card lottery and part of the process required us to leave the country, move back to Spain, as well as spend a substantial amount of money for the fees. So I had to postpone my dream of studying at a university for about 2 years. However, to show my commitment and mainly because I didn't want colleges to base my application on grades that were 2 years old I self-studied for the two APs (bio and psychology), the 2 SAT IIs (bio and chemistry) and the SAT I. I shadowed many doctors and surgeons as well as volunteered at different departments at a hospital. My goal was to apply to colleges once my parents were financially stable. Meanwhile I tutored chemistry and spanish to help out. Now, that their financial state is better, I'm looking to apply to colleges. I'm going to explain this to the universities in my main essay.</p>
