<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Im a Brazilian studying at an American School. I wont be applying for financial aid at all. </p>
<p>GPA: 98 ( no idea on the 4.0 scale)
SAT: 1950(will retake, got a 2100 on practice :/)
SATII: have taken any yet
AP: took AP mod world, AP eng lit, AP bio. Havent received any scores yet.
I am taking the hardest possible courseload, considering that as a brazilian citizen there are certain classes im forced to take ( brazilian history, portuguese)
Will be taking AP calc AB, AP US hist, AP lan, and AP econ next year.
EC's:
Cap'n of the knowledge bowl team. Second place at the south american tournament of american schools ( there are quite a few).
Editor of the school newspaper and literary magazine.
varsity softball.
Internship at the (im my opinion)best restaurant in the city ( aprentice chef)
Kickboxing, orange belt.
Guitar lessons ( classical and eletric. might play in jazz band next year)
French lessons.
Volunteer at local hemocenter ( hospital for people with blood disorders. Apropriate since I have severe hemophilia.)
Participated in a project to help raise funds/train guide dogs. Was pretty special considering this was in Brazil, where this particular type of institute is uncommon.</p>
<p>*This summer I'll be spending about two months living in paris, studying french. I'll also take up a part time job at a bistro, to further improve my cooking.</p>
<p>What range of schools should i be looking at? I've always been interesting in Upenn. Its where i've been treated for my hemophilia ever since I was born, so I have great relationships with many of the people there. Plus, I guess i'm one of the few people that can truly say that they KNOW the school, considering I've been visiting the place for 17 years.</p>
