<p>Bowdoin is my top choice for college, but I’m not going to apply ED only because of money issues. I’m not sure how much financial aid I’ll get and I don’t plan on getting any merit scholarships either, so while I love the school, I can’t say that if I got in I’d be able to go there.</p>
<p>Here’s what I’ve got:</p>
<p>-French citizen
-GPA: 3.8/4.0
-Best Scholar in Course for my IB Chem HL class (a big deal at my school)
-ACT composite: 31 (ehh… I took it twice and got the same score, so I won’t both again)
-Plan on taking SAT subject tests in Math I, Chem, and Lit
-IB diploma candidate/Classes mainly honors, AP and IB
-200+ hours of community service (soup kitchens, habitat for humanity, riley hospital…)
-Received the award from Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Association for Outstanding Academic Achievement for my high school. Had to be nominated by counselor.
-Weak extracurriculars… Co-president of French Club, Invisible Children Vice-President, co-founder of an environmental education club that visits elementary schools called Project Green, Model UN, National Honor Society member, several other clubs I just do for fun that don’t really stand for anything.
-Interested in chemistry/environmental science. Currently doing independent research on the degredation rates of polylactic acid.
-from Indiana (don’t know if that matters)</p>
