<p>Hello, this is my first time posting after months of reading other forums…</p>
<p>Sophomore at a small school in rural VT,</p>
<p>90 gpa in 9th grade, 1 B in math and a B in art</p>
<p>92.59 gpa thus far (end of 1st semester) </p>
<p>School only offered 3 AP classes and plan to take 2/3 of them (taking a slower algebra, so I can’t take AP calc in time for graduation)</p>
<p>Taking all the honors classes offered except algebra 2 honors
Intended major: Animal Science, or Neuroscience/Cognitive/Psychology</p>
<p>Volunteer work: (shows determination and focus) </p>
<p>Global impact apprenticeship: co captain freshman year. Worked with several schools overseas to improve water quality, wildlife and other things, all while documenting and presenting a video to broadcast with te other schools participating. This got lots of press, was in the news paper just about every month in my town, and when I search my name, half the results are from the GIA program</p>
<p>Ambassadors and SADD group member. </p>
<p>Ran XC fresh year an sophomore. </p>
<p>Shadowed/assisted a horse vet over the summer: ~30 hrs</p>
<p>Worked on a dairy farm feeding calves twice a week : ~ 20 hrs</p>
<p>Green Mt Horse Association jumping crew, vet assistant/scribe and other various jobs: ~15 hrs </p>
<p>Shadowing/ assisting various vets every Saturday morning 9-12: 15 hrs </p>
<p>Strong essay writing skills. </p>
<p>Aunt is a Skidmore and Harvard alum, (an editor) so I have someone very credible to edit my essays.</p>
<p>Attended a Cornell Sports School running camp for a week ( not sure if that helps) and had a blast. Very familiar with campus, hours of research etc</p>
<p>Attending Adventures in Veterinary Medicine this summer, which they “look upon fondly” from what I’ve heard.</p>
<p>Mom is a special Ed teacher, don’t have a dad. Also, I’m adopted from Moldova and have dual citizenship.</p>
<p>I plan to continue all of my extracurricular activities except for GIA (that was a one time opportunity) </p>
<p>Can you also chance me for cornell (early decision), skidmore, bowdoin, colby, boston college (legacy), UVM, UCONN, UNE and any other schools that would suit me? (any of these schools that offer EA i will be using that method with the exception of Cornell)I realise liberal arts colleges will not offer an animal science major, but neuroscience/psychology is very interesting, comes naturually to me and ties in very well to vet med w/ animal behavior and physiology and whatnot</p>
<p>Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks!</p>
