<p>I’m a junior and I will be applying from an American school in France and this is my second time living overseas… (if that helps at all). Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Freshman year:
GPA: 3.6 (unweighted)</p>

<p>Sophomore year: i moved to France and am attending an American School there
GPA: I don’t remember unweighted but 3.6 (weighted).
EC’s: Model United Nations (attended a conference in Italy), Green Team, Kenya Club</p>

<p>Junior year: first semester: (I’m doing the IB diploma)
GPA: 3.3 (unweighted), 3.7(weighted) - yes, it’s pretty low, but the IB is really hard.
Predicted IB score: I don’t know yet but i know it’s at least a 32
EC’s: Secretary of HCMC Kids (a community service club), Founder of the Badminton Club, Green Team (hoping to be Pres. next year), Model united nations (attended a conference in December in Paris)
Rank: i think around top 20-25%? not sure.
race: asian</p>

<p>ACT’s: hopefully at least a 29 (i did my First practice ACt test and got a 26; taking an ACT prep course soon)</p>

<p>Work experience: Last summer, i worked in Syria for the American Embassy. (paid job)
Volunteering: this summer, i will be volunteering for the UN in Syria.</p>

<p>To be honest, a 29 on the ACT is a bit low but Barnard looks at applications holistically and your EC’s sound interesting so it’s a reach (it is for most people though). Good luck!</p>

<p>Are you underscoring yourself for your IB scores? A 3.7 GPA and a 32 in IB doesn’t really make sense.</p>

<p>You’re IB scores are also a bit low. Try to hit a 34-36.</p>

<p>what should be ib score be? idk. my school is harsh on it</p>
