3.78 unweighted gpa
I have a total of 8 ap/ib classes throughout high school.
My extracurricular include:
Varsity Tennis - not recruitable, just a hobby
French Club
Volunteer at library- will have around 260 hrs by nov 1st
Photography - hobby but I also do paid photoshoots which I mentioned in my app. I am also submitting a portfolio of my photography and digital art as I want to minor in art.
Self Employment (I run my own business) - I work with clients as a graphic designer, visual effects artist, and scriptwriter for youtube videos. I expand upon this in my essay since this has been a huge part of my high school life. I don’t have my own company, I sort of freelance. but it is my plan to establish one in the future.
Marketing - I sell visual effects and photography presets on my online store.
Designing graphic tees - One of my goals is to create my own clothing brand so I have been designing possible t-shirts or the past couple of months and will post a few of these on my portfolio
Custom PC - I bought all the parts for a computer and built it myself to create my own powerful editing pc.
Hackathon member - I have participated in a hackathon where our team developed a website. We didn’t win but I thought I should add it on as good computer science experience.
What I wrote my essay on is my passion for youtube and how it’s allowed me to run my own business ( I actually quit my part time job once it started taking off and I mention that as well) and how I’m now wanting to expand upon my skills and brand by studying business at Washington University.
