<p>I am a high school junior. NYU is my DREAM SCHOOL, but if that doesn't work out, I just really want to go to school in NYC. I live in Massachusetts. I am a Chinese Male. I am the first to go to college in my family.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.33 (UW) 7.6 (W) (my school is out of 9 and really awkward.)</p>
<p>SAT: N/A, (What should I want to achieve?)</p>
<p>EC's:</p>
<p>Uplift (9)
Head volunteer at a summer program. Lead a class of 26 students. I volunteered for 86 hours.</p>
<p>Asian Culture Club (Member 9-10 Secretary 11)</p>
<p>Youth Leadership Academy (10)
We learned leadership skills throughout my sophomore year. At the end of Summer '08 we went to El Salvador to demonstrate these skills. We built a wall and got to learn so much about the people there.</p>
<p>Diocesan Youth Council (11 - 12)
30 youth are chosen out of The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. From each deanery 1 youth is selected to vote at Diocesan Convention where we vote on issues within the church, and we vote on how our funds are spent. My senior year, I will be the delegate for the Boston Harbor Deanery. We plan retreats for the other youth in the diocese. It's really cool and lets me use the skills I acquired in Youth Leadership Academy.</p>
<p>School-life:</p>
<p>1 A.P: French 4.
2 Honors: Chinese 2, 3.</p>
<p>I take 3 languages. I speak 5 languages. At home, I speak Cantonese and Mandarin with my mom and dad. I did not know how to write in Chinese. At school, I take A.P French, Honors Chinese and Spanish year 2. This is my first year of Spanish, but I was allowed to skip year one because I demonstrated that I could excel in year 2.</p>
<p>I am a photography student and I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. I always look forward to it and it is really rewarding developing my photographs.</p>
<p>I am utterly average at everything else. I plan on taking my SAT subject tests in:
Chinese
French
Spanish
and Biology.</p>
<p>What can I do to make me more appealing to NYU/Fordham?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Will</p>
