<p>Hi, everyone! So I'm looking to apply to Fordham, SUNY Purchase, CUNY Brooklyn, UC Irvine, Vassar, Barnard, DePaul, and NYU.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Malaysian
Gender: Female</p>
<p>SAT: 1960 (one sitting) I think I'm going to sit one more Nov 2nd and get a better combined score, hopefully break 2000.</p>
<p>SATIIs: 680 in Physics, going to take Math 1 and English Lit in December.</p>
<p>TOEFL: 114/120 (I don't think they'll be needing my scores on this one, I've only ever been learning in English, and my first language is English but just in case, since I am an international expat)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.75 (unweighted), and probable exceeding 4.0 weighted since I am on the IB program. (so all the grades on my higher subjects, say an A or a 4.0, would go up by 1.0 and become a 5.0, all my standards would go up by .5) However, I am going to justify somewhere on the app why my senior first semester grades might have taken a large dip. I have been through some pretty extenuating personal problems since the start of senior year that have taken a toll on my studies.</p>
<p>IB COURSE LOAD
Highers --> History, Theater, English Lit.
Standards --> Physics, Math, French B</p>
<p>ECs: Founded Int'l Film Club (freshman), Varsity Lacrosse (freshman), Secretary of Village Way Community Service Club (freshman), Varsity Drama troupe (sophomore, junior, and almost guaranteed senior position), President of Thespian Honors Society (junior, senior), co-founded Improv Club (sophomore, junior, senior), Kalimantan Service Trip (summer of this year), volunteer frequently (Houston Food Bank, MS150, Walk MS, producing charity shows for Red Nose Foundation), Multimedia and Design 'Blue Umbrella' Club Vice-President (junior, senior), all high school drama productions (student devised and teacher directed, lead roles, supporting roles, ensemble, tech, and front of house), Marine Conservation Club (junior, senior), Big Siblings (junior), Fashion Rationale (freshman), photographer for Yearbook (freshman), Animal Welfare (sophomore), Global Issues Network presenter (junior, possibly senior year if I have time).</p>
<p>^ I'm thinking only about a handful of those I'm really gonna play up in my Common App, and I may need help with that. I'm looking mostly to highlight my devotion to drama, I will be majoring in Acting.</p>
<p>My recommendations are pretty stellar right now. I have one from my IB Higher Level Drama teacher and my Theory of Knowledge (compulsory IB course) teacher, who also taught me Modern Euro history in my sophomore year. </p>
<p>and here's an audition piece that I'm considering as using for most of my schools, but this of course is not the final edited version but I will put it up just as reference to what talent I have and whether it is enough or not quite enough to make it into the schools I listed: <a href="http://god-bless-zoloft.tumblr.com/post/34272509769%5B/url%5D">http://god-bless-zoloft.tumblr.com/post/34272509769</a></p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
