<p>I am a junior and live in NC (Durham County).
I have been home schooled my entire life.</p>
<p>ECs:
I have a working student under the UNC-Chapel Hill Equestrian team coach/PE Teacher for the past 5 years.</p>
<p>I have had 2 jobs since I was 15.</p>
<p>I was on my Church's youth Council for 4 years, VP for 1 year, I expect to president senior year.</p>
<p>I've been teaching beginner riding at a summer camp for the past 3 years.</p>
<p>I will be volunteering with a (large-animal) vet this summer.</p>
<p>I've bought, cared for and trained my horse (ex-racehorse) from the ground up with no financial help from my parents. I am very committed to her and that is where the majority of my time is spent out side of school.</p>
<p>I am taking classes at a local community college and I've gotten all A's (Biology, Chemistry, intro Sociology, intro Business).</p>
<p>My SAT scores are not great (1790, CR:670, M:520 WR:590 E:8) but I am getting tutoring and feel like I'm improving and will be taking the SAT again in May. My biggest difficulty is math, I am fine with solving equations but taking the word problems and making them equations is difficult for me, I always want to make it more complicated then needed. I LOVE Critical reading and my writing is so so.</p>
<p>I also will be taking the ACT soon and I think I will do better on it than the SAT. I also will be taking SAT IIs - Lit and Bio, I expect to do well.</p>
<p>My GPA is currently about a 3.7 unweighted but I am trying to bring it up before the end of the year.</p>
