<p>hello! I am a junior right now, living in Georgia. I really want to go to a nice liberal arts school for college, and I'd like it to be somewhere very warm and far away which led me to california. I'd like to go to pomona or pitzer. I have not visited or anything yet because my family doesn't really have the money to fly me out to California but I'll list my stats. I'm just wondering if I could get in. </p>
<p>by the time I graduate, I will have taken 9 or 10 APS
10th- ap world (3 on ap exam), ap comp sci
11th- apush, ap lit, ap physics 1
12th(what I want to take) - ap latin, ap psych, ap calc, ap art(if I can get in!) and ap Brit lit. I doubt I will have room for every one. also- is ap calc as important as everyone says?? will colleges frown if I take an easier math elective course instead??</p>
<p>as far as extracurriculars, I haven't done a whole lot as I have to watch my little brothers after school most days and my dad has to work and can't pick me up and take me home from a million after school things.
freshman and sophomore yr I was in book club. sophomore yr I was head of PR but I didn't actually do much lmao
ive been in Latin club since freshman yr, this year I'm president of it :)! I am also captain of the schools Latin quiz bowl team
I also want to help do tech stuff for my schools spring play if I can</p>
<p>as far as volunteer hours go- I haven't done them yet but my school requires 75. I'm going to volunteer at one of the local museums over the summer, or maybe in the spring. I would also like to get a job at some point too though. </p>
<p>GPA- i am usually A honor roll, last time I checked I'm at like a 92 or 93 weighted right now. I'm having a little trouble in physics but I hope to bring it up</p>
<p>SAT- just got my scores back for my first time taking it today! 2210: 75 cr, 75 math, 71 writing. I'm gonna take it again in the spring hopefully</p>
<p>notable stuff- captain of geography howl team freshman yr, quiz bowl Latin stuff like I mentiomed, 12th in state on Latin derivative testing (hope to do more of ths later this yr) , semifinalist (and may make it in) for governors honors program- statewide program where u go to a college for a month over the summer to develop skill in ur subject of choice (mines Latin if u hadn't guessed lol)
I also like to write! I won a school wide poetry contest and hope to submit to more stuff in the future!</p>
<p>I think that's it! I hope I haven't taken too long! but also: I know since I can't afford to visit, some colleges offer stuff for poor kids and minority kids to come visit for a weekend for free, but these are all really vague. Like, can you do these if you're cacausian but you still can't afford it? </p>
<p>anyway, thanks in advance if you took the time to read all this :)! also, I want to major in English then hopefully get my PhD and teach English at a college</p>
