<p>Hey guys! I'm new to this site (just activated my account today), so please forgive me if I submit this in the wrong place again; I just submitted it under the wrong forum, haha. Hope this is the right one(: Anyways, I'm a high school sophomore, and I've been looking into Kenyon college. I know I still have a few years, but everything there seems so interesting! Right now, it's my first choice. So my question is, do ya'll think I might get in? Since I'm only a sophomore, I haven't taken the SAT or ACT, but here's some stuff about me:</p>
<p>Academics:</p>
<p>Freshmen year:
Geometry Enriched (advanced)-- First semester: A. Second Semester: B+
Spanish III-- First semester: A+. Second Semester: A+
Advanced Standing English-- First Semester: A. Second Semester: A+
World Studies-- First Semester: A+. Second Semester: A+
Advanced Biology--First semester: A-. Second semester: A-.</p>
<p>Sophomore year (I haven't gotten my grades yet, seeing as it's only September):
Algebra II/Trig
Spanish IV
Advanced Standing English II
AP Modern European History
Advanced Standing Chemistry</p>
<p>So far, I've taken all the advanced/AP classes that have been available to me.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars/other achievements:</p>
<p>I'm not athletic, so I don't do sports, but:
--I'm actively involved in three clubs at my school: Octagon club (community service), Math club, and Spanish conversation club.
--I've done a bunch of theater work, except my recent schedule has not allowed any within the past year.
--I'm a published poet.
--I was chosen to speak at my 8th grade graduation.
--I've done a bunch of charity work and community service. Examples: painting a school that couldn't afford paint and painters, making "no-no's" for orphans in Africa who need surgery, planting flowers around the community... Also, I've knit hats for children who need chemo and dolls for children in Africa with AIDS and HIV. I've done a bunch more, but I can't think of it all right now, haha.
--I was in my school's choir for 4 years.
--I play a bit of guitar, bass guitar, bodhran (Irish drum), and harmonica. But just a bit--I'm still a beginner in all of them, haha(:</p>
<p>Other:
Gender: Female
Race: White
Location: California</p>
<p>So, what do you guys think? Should I get more involved? I'm looking to start volunteering in a local children's hospital in January, and maybe at the local library, as well. But so far, do you guys think I'm on the right track to getting into Kenyon? Thanks so much! (:</p>
