<p>Female
Hispanic</p>
<p>School: NY, private, all-girls, Catholic school, fairly competitive</p>
<p>GPA: 4.7/5.0 not sure what this converts to, one counselor told me it was a 3.7, the other said that it was a 4.0+ (I think that the second one was right. At my school, a 4.5 is an A and a 5.0 is an A+. A 4.0 is typically an A, right?) - also it will probably go up senior year due to the weighting of AP courses.</p>
<p>Rank: school does not rank (but somewhere in the top 10%)</p>
<p>SAT I: 800CR/670M/700W I will take them again in the fall and hope to improve my math score</p>
<p>SAT II:
Biology E: 660 (Freshman Year required by school)
Spanish: 730
US History: 690
Math I: 690 not great, might take Math II in the fall</p>
<p>APs:
European History 4 (10th grade)
US History 4 (11th grade)</p>
<p>Courses: most challenging classes offered at my school, they dont let you take any APs other than Euro and APUSH before senior year.</p>

Model UN (10th-12th grades) - Co-President for 11th and 12th grades
Amnesty International (10th-12th grades) Secretary 12th grade

<p>Other:
Lower Income and 1st generation college student (I think. Do siblings count? My parents never went to college, but both my older brother and older sister did. My sister is now a lawyer.)</p>

I'm hoping for divine inspiration for a wonderfully original essay topic.</p>
