<p>Hey everyone! </p>
<p>I'm only a sophomore this year, but after visiting the campus and researching the school as well as sitting in on a few classes at Hopkins, it seems like a great fit for me. I also know that I want to major in neuroscience on a pre-med track. The fact that Hopkins is such a great research school is one of the most important factors for me. </p>
<p>More about me:</p>
<p>-I'm female and Latino
-I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA
-I have taken all of the hardest classes offered at my school thus far and I am in a level higher than most others in my grade in my Spanish class (yes, although I am latino, I don't speak Spanish at home and I didn't grow up around it at all.)
-SAT: 2310
-ACT: 35
-I will have taken 10 AP classes by the time I graduate.
-Member of the NHS
-distinguished honor roll for all of HS so far
-Gold medal on the National Spanish Exam for two years in a row

-I am highly involved in our environmental club and will take on a leadership role in that next year.
-I am a peer editor for our school (anybody can ask me for help drafting, editing, etc.)
-I've headed our Relay for Life team for the last two years and am part of the Junior Board heading it for the county this year.
-I help with Homeless Shelter dinners most Fridays.
-On the school's quiz bowl team which is currently ranked among the top 50 in the US.
-Swim Team (2 years in high school, but competitively for 7 years before that)
-Track (high school and a year of middle school) and I'm actually a fairly decent thrower (shot put and discus)
-I lead a mentoring program for orchestra that mentors and gives lessons to younger (middle and lower school) members of the orchestra.

-member of the youth symphony in our city since 7th grade (4th chair this year) </p>
<p>Misc:
-I was involved with an internship last summer and got to spend six weeks in a Genetics lab working on different projects and conducting some of my own research.
-This summer I have two different internships lined up in international universities.
-I speak English (obviously) and Greek fluently and I speak Spanish on a conversational level. I'm also learning how to sign (American Sign Language) and learning to speak French. Both are still slightly below conversational. </p>
<p>What do you think my chances would be getting into Hopkins by my Senior year?
Thanks!</p>
