<p>I enjoy all of my high school classes.</p>
<p>Science, particularly biology and chemisty, is very interesting to me and Tufts medicine program sounds like a great oppurtunity. I also enjoy writing and analyzing literature so I would like to double major in English or at least minor in it. I love the LAC and big uni aspect of Barnard, but I'm concerned about financial aid because I wouldn't qualify for need-based so all I have is merit aid. Vanderbilt has all the programs that I've been interested in like Economics, Computer Science, and History-in case you didn't know by now, I just really like school and I wouldn't mind going to it for the rest of my life and just learn everything.</p>
<p>I'm interested in schools with study abroad programs and I would like to continue learning Spanish and Mandarin. It would also be great to learn Latin and ASL. I pick languages up okay, I just have trouble pronouncing any of the Romantic Languages.</p>

<p>I am president of BPA and Science Olympiad. My HS doesn't fund us unless necessary so for BPA I have to coordinate fundraisers of 10K+ and 5K+ for SciOlym.</p>
<p>I am also in SHS and NHS and Math Honor Society. I've played piano for 9 years and have auditioned for the National Piano Guild for 5 years. I've done well and earned Commended performances. I had the oppurtunity to play at Carnegie Hall, but never actually did because of scheduling conflicts. Sorry I was just griping about that lol.</p>
<p>My English teacher loves me and will "fight for me". I have a History teacher who thinks I'm a stellar student because I always do more than required on her assignments. My newspaper adviser and Lit Crit coach also are very affectionate of me because we get along well outside of class. Thanks for reading all this!</p>
