Firstly, don’t worry, I do have a nice bundle of safeties and safety/matches on my college list.
I’m a white female living in Texas, and am attending a Texan public school. For my first two years of high school, I was at a respected international school in South Asia.

I’ll be graduating with the AP Capstone Diploma, provided nothing goes terribly wrong.
Major: I’m hoping to major in International Relations, or Middle Eastern Studies.
Other Academics:
CTY Course on Politics in the Middle East, at Princeton.
CTY Course on International Relations
Stanford Course on Biomed (Kind of irrelevant, the course put me off the idea of medical science).
Extra-Curriculars
Volunteer for the Red Cross - Hold actual position, as a communications coordinator: 2 years
Volunteer w/ Local Government -2 years
NHS - 3 years, Vice President
National Spanish Honor Society - 2 years
National English Honor Society - 2 years
Exchange Student Mentor w/ EF Academy - 2 years (will write me a rec.)
NSLI-Y in Oman, learning Arabic (Study abroad over the summer).
STUCO - 4 years.
Spanish Tutoring - 2 years.
X-Country - 4 years, 5:40 mile, 17:00 5k, 40:00 10k.
In total I have roughly 300 service hours, I would have more, but I can’t count any from my previous school because I didn’t get signatures.
It’s also worth mentioning that I may be getting a book published on a small scale (in negotiations).
For my college essay I would be writing about my experience abroad - I’ve lived in 8 countries, 12 cities, and so my essay would be about growing up as a global citizen.
Chance me for Princeton, UC Berkley, Johns Hopkins University, UChicago, Northwestern, NYU, and University of Virginia, please!
