<p>I've given in. I'm really doing a chance me post. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. Well, here it goes!</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic (half-Mexican)
First generation college student
Gender: Female
Income: ...low. Very, very low.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.63UW (School doesn't do weighted)
Rank: 53/164
ACT: 33 (normal & superscore)
School: Small public school in SW Missouri, I don't think we send many people to good schools...or any people. Ever.
APs: Ap Art Drawing, didn't submit. Ap 2-d Design, will submit....My school only offers AP art. Yeah, shoot me now. My art teacher is the only teacher that cares enough to offer AP even though I know that there are other teachers that are qualified....<em>sigh</em> </p>
<p>Yes, my grades are crap. My freshman year was terrible. (there was a reason, but it might not be worth mentioning...)</p>
<p>EC:
NHS
NAHS (Website manager)
Key Club (Board member)
Students Taking Action Together (Vice-President)
Psychology Club (Co-Founder)
Foreign Language Club
Show Me Arts Committee (gave/helped write presentations to missouri school board members to try and get more funding for training art teachers and the like)</p>
<p>Community Service:
Pueblo Ingles English Volunteer (in Spain) - 100+ Hours
4 Mission trips to Mexico/Texas - 140+ Hours
Sammiches417TheHungry (Distributing organic & healthy staple foods at an area shelter. Co-founder) - We start next week...but it will be 6+hours a week plus food shopping. I'm also the website manager and in charge of all promotional materials
Convoy of Hope (work in warehouse) - 20+ Hours

350+hours total</p>
<p>Sports:

<p>Work:
I run an etsy site that sells crochet dolls (amigurumi). I also sell them at anime conventions and I'm in the process of self-publishing a book of patterns.</p>
<p>Languages: Intermediate proficiency in Spanish, also technically my first language</p>
<p>Randoms: I went to the Wustl HSSP program in 2009 and 2010, 13 credits total. I'm pretty much in love with the place. Going to National Portfolio Day @ wustl with my portfolio. Should I have an interview while I'm there? (it was stupid of me to not do it earlier, I know)</p>
<p>Teacher reqs should be very good, my teachers like me a lot. (This may or may not have something to do with the fact that my siblings were awesome students.... v_v)</p>
<p>Essay: Iffy. I write well and I have a lot of friends that can help me with the actual writing, but I'm not sure about the topic. Travel, possibly...</p>
<p>So, yeah, Early Decision chances! I'm only applying to WashU. If I get rejected, I've already been accepted at Missouri State University to start in January, so it's a win-win because I get to move out earlier...but I fell in WashU last summer and I would love nothing more than to go there.</p>
<p>I'm also thinking about applying for the Annika Rodriguez scholarship....thoughts?</p>
