<p>Hi Everyone!
As a second semester junior, I have been contemplating which colleges to apply to next year. Barnard College is one that I am extremely passionate about; I will definitely be applying ED for it.</p>
<p>GPA (UW): 3.45; however, when I used RogerHub to calculate, it said 3.71 (most likely because he doesn't include freshman year)
SAT score: I am taking my first one in a few weeks
SAT Subject Tests: I will be taking the Biology, Literature, and Chinese ones in the near future.
AP Test: I will be taking the Biology one this semester as well.
Ethnicity: Asian
Location SF Bay Area, California
Fun Fact: I have lived in about 12 US states, 15 cities. I moved A LOT as a child!</p>
<p>Course Load:</p>
<p>Freshman: Literature/Writing, Biology, Oral Composition (Speech), PE 9, Principles of Business, Geometry, Chinese 1</p>
<p>Sophomore: Algebra 2, Media Assistant, Chemistry Honors, World Literature, World History, Dance, Chinese 2</p>
<p>Junior: American Literature, American History, AVID Tutor, Chinese 3, Pre-Calculus, Journalism, AP Biology</p>
<p>Senior (tentative): Mythology & Folklore, AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, Government (1 semester), Economics (1 semester), Journalism, AVID Head Tutor, Chinese 4 Honors</p>
<p>EC's (all for 2+ years):
- Nationally accredited school newsmagazine (Section Editor)
- Teen publication (Officer)
- Future Practicing Physician's Network (Officer)
- Medical Explorers Post (Secretary)
- Link Leader
- Volunteer at local hospital
- Peer Counselor</p>
<p>Tentative Major: Neuroscience</p>
<p>I understand that compared to most students here on CC, my GPA (w/freshman year) is on the lower side. I also have not taken too many AP/Honors courses. However, my high school is one of the top ranked public high schools in the country. Even the regular courses are EXTREMELY difficult. </p>
<p>However, I absolutely love Barnard! I love how the college provides a safe, homely feeling, as well as the freedom to explore and apply your knowledge in New York (where there are so many opportunities)!</p>
<p>You guys can let me know about getting into Barnard, as well as other schools (safeties, matches, and reaches) that I should apply to/have a legitimate chance at!</p>
<p>On a last note, thanks to anyone who replies! I really appreciate it!!</p>
