<p>Hi my name is Christian and I go to one of the most academically competitive private high schools in the state of California. I am Latino (Nicaraguan), Catholic, and I am the second generation of my family to go to college (dad and mom immigrated from Nicaragua about 20 years ago, dad went to UC Davis and mom never attended college). I don't know if I should apply early or regular but I am applying for Ross (Accounting or Business) and the Liberal Arts School (History) double major. </p>
<p>Academics:
4.2 (Honors GPA out of 5.0)
3.7 (Regular GPA out of 4.0)*
1st honors all 4 years in HS except for sophomore year where I received 2nd honors (3.7 GPA above)
Elected to participate in National Honor Society
Class Rank: N/A at school but they do have decile range which I am in the 1st (possibly top 5% of my class)
Have taken the most rigorous path at my HS in every subject except for English
AP/H/XL- US History, Calculus, Pre-Calc, Algebra 2, Geometry, Biology, Spanish 2 & 3 & 4, Economics
*GPA would be higher but took Geometry XL over the summer in the middle of freshman and sophomore year in order to finish my senior year with AP Calculus, hopefully they can see that I took the initiative to get ahead in my studies and into further subjects.
