<p>Madison is probably my #1 choice right now, along with the U of M twin cities
I've done a fair amount of research, but for my own sanity I want to get some personal feedback. And most of the posts were from like 3 years ago so...</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.38 (bad freshman year due to depression, I've gotten decent grades otherwise...) (Upward trend)
-I haven't checked what my weighted GPA is, although I think they don't really consider it...or do they?!</p>
<p>ACT: 27 (with a 10 on the writing section)--> Science killed me. Plus I was sick. I'm planning to retake it this month (I've been working my tail off!) I hope to get a 30+ XD</p>
<p>Courses: Pretty rigorious, the only regular classes I took were in freshman year (Spanish and Speech both didn't have honors options) and two this year <senior> (English in the 21st century and Reading for College-again with no honors option.)
7 AP's (human geo, macroeconomics, english lit, english lang, psychology, biology, govt)
My school offers a pretty high amount of AP's (more than others in the city)
Four years of Spanish</senior></p>
<p>EC's: lots of mission trips/community work
(work with poor urban areas and the homeless)
Camp Counselor at a christian camp (not the whole summer though)
Model U.N
Violin (I'm in a youth orchestra in my city)
Tennis for 3 years
Nordic Ski Team
National Merit Semi-finalist
My main hobby is creative writing. </p>
<p>Recommendations: I plan on sending two good recommendations (maybe a third from my pastor?-just because of the mission trips) </p>
<p>I should have everything in by the middle of November. I don't know if this counts for anything but I'm a first generation asian-american (female) (both my parents went to colleges outside of the U.S) and I've lived in 3 different countries, and moved around in the U.S.I'll be the first kid to go college in my immediate family in the U.S. I'm also a MN resident. </p>
<p>I know my GPA and ACT(right now...) aren't very stellar at all. I'm hoping I'm one of the very lucky few they decide to take a chance on. I'm in the process of trying to write great statements and keep up my grades for first semester senior grades. </p>
<p>Like seriously guys...if I have even a decent chance...I might just run around my city singing Rebecca Black or something. If I get in...look for me on your newstations! (JK JK :))</p>
<p>So...yah. If you could give me a percent chance that'd be great! Thank you for reading and THANK YOU even more if you give me feedback :))
