<p>I'm a white female living in Florida. I have a 3.7 GPA, ranked in the top 12% of my class. I am in the IB Programme, and have taken three AP courses as well, scoring all 4's. I have a 33 ACT, 1400 Reading and Math SAT, and taking Subject tests soon.</p>
<p>I play violin, part of the National Thespian Society and have won both state and district awards for my theatre troupe. I'm a senator and founding member of Model UN, in French Club, been on missions for my church, swam varsity for two years, and is an administrative assistant for my county's cultural arts office. I was the first junior intern to actually work with artists and play a big role in my community's art culture.I also worked in my town's hospital and use both experiences for my future career as a psychologist and artist.</p>
<p>I lost my dad in my freshman year, and faced many depressing situations (financially and emotionally) that have affected my grades throughout my high school career. I wish my GPA was higher, but my father's past and people both harassing my family and bullying me made me develop a lot of bad anxiety, where I was sent to a counselor. Though, I would like to work with the Keith Haring Foundation as an art activist (my father had HIV/AIDS.)</p>
<p>I know I'm not the greatest candidate, and these are all reaches, but I feel strong in Vassar. I just want to be able to go to a college in a city where I can make a difference.</p>
