<p>I'm sure these are annoying, but I'm really lost about what my chances are…</p>
<p>I'm a first year university student in Canada hoping to transfer to Barnard College for next year.</p>
<p>Final HS average: 96.5% (1/360 students at a Canadian public high school, not IB)
My grades for 9th and 10th grades are not great. My averages were 82 and 87 respectively. I also didn't take math for the last year of high school.</p>
<p>Awards:
- English award for every year of high school, Governor General's Academic Medal for highest average in high school at graduation, high school music award (other subject awards as well)</p>
<p>ECs:
- Red Cross Council co-chair (organized a bunch of events/fundraisers over two years)
- community organizing leader for Toronto Environmental Alliance
- flute for 9 years
- cross country running for 11 years (no major accomplishments, just went to city finals)
- 3 month human rights writing internship with South American NGO
- founder of local bike repair business, organized effort to donate money to bike camp I worked at to get underprivileged kids/girls biking
- research assistant at University of Toronto over the summer, helped profs with research about effects of pharma industry on medical diagnoses (name will hopefully be on published paper)
- poetry published, a few magazine articles published (nowhere major)
- magazine column with Guatemalan human rights magazine, write about women's issues/my own traveling experiences and stories
- exec for a few human rights clubs at my school</p>
<p>current GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>I'll have to write the SATs this year so I don't know what my scores will be.</p>
<p>Anyways, if anyone can give me advice about how I can improve my application or anything…I'm just really confused</p>
