<p>Chance me for Boston University, George Washington University, College Park, Syracuse University, St. Mary's College of Maryland, and UMBC, please? :) Will chance back (if you ask!) :D</p>
<p>-Female, Mixed race (Asian-White)
-GPA (UW/W): 3.66/4.3*
-school doesn't rank
*truthfully, I think these are both going to drop, UW probably will be a 3.54 by the end of the year, worst case scenario. I'm struggling like crazy in AP Bio (it's double-period and weighs twice on my grades) and will most likely average out to a C for this semester in that class :(</p>
<p>SAT (took 3x):
Superscored: 2040 (CR-660 M-690, W-690), Highest overall: 2010 (CR-660, M-660, W-690)</p>
<p>Senior Year Classes: AP Biology (double period), AP European History, AP Comparative Government, AP Literature, Student Internship for English, Honors Symphonic Band</p>
<p>APs&Honors:
Honors: 14 (took 13, taking 1)
AP: 7 (currently taking 4, took AP NSL (5), AP Lang (4), AP World History (4))</p>
<p>EC's
-Tenor Saxophone (2007-present)
-Percussion (2011-present)
-Piano (2000-present)
-Tri-M Music Honors Society
-National English Honors Society
-Marching band (2011-present); State Champions (2012), State Champion Runner-ups (2011&2014, I realize this may not be worth mentioning though... :/)
-190+ SSL hours
-Japanese-American Citizens League volunteering (2011-present); assist guests in English & Japanese
-Spanish (advanced proficiency, took Spanish classes and continued to self study after I quit), Japanese (advanced proficiency, self-taught)**</p>
<p>**Is foreign languages worth mentioning? :/ I see other people including that they speak other languages in their EC's/skills... but I see a huge range of proficiency levels being mentioned (some are mentioning languages that they have basic proficiency in and others are just writing languages they are fluent in). I already know that my counselor mentioned something about my interest in learning foreign languages in her recommendation, so I think the admissions office will see it one way or another. </p>
<p>Recs
-One recommendation is from an English teacher that I had sophomore (H. English 10) and junior year (AP Lang). Also, I currently intern for her English class and am involved with the National English Honors Society, which she is in charge of. I participated in class often, got A's consistently with projects/essays, etc, and averaged out to an A for the semester that I had her in. The other recommendation is from my H. Forensics teacher from last year. I always participated in class, consistently got good grades/feedback on assignments, sought extra help, etc. I think that the recommendations will be strong for both. There's also a rec from my counselor which I'm assuming will be good? I hope so, at least!</p>
<p>So once again, I'm applying to...
-Boston University (RD)
-George Washington University (my mom went there and my grandfather used to work there) (RD)
-University of Maryland, College Park (EA/Priority)
-Syracuse University (RD)
-St. Mary's College of Maryland (RD)
-UMBC (my brother goes there) (EA)</p>
<p>I know this is a very long post, so I'd really appreciate any feedback! Thank you! :D</p>
And yeah, I know that GWU and BU are definitely reach schools for me. I’d love to go to either but I realize that it’ll be hard to get in. </p>
