<p>Washington State
Neither of my parents graduated from college
Rural farming town
Have spent my entire high school "career" at the local community college because my high school has terrible academics, so my GPA and rank include my college classes, but the school doesn't weight so...</p>

<p>HS rank: 8/200 (unweighted)
HS GPA: 3.88 (unweighted)
College GPA: 3.87
College Rank: Doesn't rank but I've been on the Dean's List every quarter since I started taking classes in 8th grade.</p>

<p>Class schedule:
Toughest classes I can take...I'm in the Honors Program at the community college
POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Haven't had and will not have any physics...will this hurt me?</p>

<p>SAT: 2100 CR: 770 M: 670 W:660</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Bio-E = 660, U.S. History = 700, Literature = 780</p>

<p>Good essays (my English teacher suggested I submit one to be published in the college's yearly student writing anthology, so I guess they're pretty good). They describe me well, so that's the most important part.</p>

<p>Really, really great teacher recs (one talks about how I'm in school for the learning, not just the grade, and the other talks about how I'm one of the best students he's met - yay!)
Super counselor recommendation in school report</p>

<p>Extra Currriculars:
20-25 hrs. per week at local performing arts guild performing (I've had several lead roles, chorus roles, I've operated the light-board, sold ad space for the programs, worked as stage crew, and I'm stage managing the children's show this year...I'm also sending a stellar recommendation from my director)
8 hrs. per week Tae Kwon Do (Black Belt and recieved medals at state tournaments...right now I'm taking a break, though)
3 hrs. per week Honor Society vice-president at college
3 hrs. per week International Friendship Club executive committee member
Various volunteer things (approx. 4 hrs. per week) like Junior Achievement, helping out at a pro bono law office, etc. Also helped organize fundraiser for December 2004 Tsunami.</p>

<p>Work:
10-15 hrs. per week Event Coordinating at community college...I'm the chair of the Activities Committee, so I'm sort of the boss of the committee
10-12 hrs. per week Tutoring - I tutor elementary school children</p>

<p>sounds good... your sat scores are kind of low but i don't think they are prohibitive. actually don't listen to me b/c i am just applying too so i don't really know what i am talking about! but i am from washington, too! what city do you live in?</p>

<p>I live near Bellingham, Washington. What about you? Oh, and yup, my SAT scores aren't super high. I did well in the CR and lit SATs, but the writing (the stupid essay, I didn't "stay on topic" well enough <em>sigh</em>) and other stuff brought me down. Anyways, math and science aren't what I'm planning on going into, so it's all good <em>I hope!</em></p>

<p>cool... i live in seattle :). yeah... the sat essay killed me. and is def not representative of anyone's writing ability.</p>

<p>Cool! Yeah, my town is pretty tiny and I'm excited about going somewhere else. We'll see if I can actually get in someplace good. And I agree about the essay...we should torch the collegeboard's website or something :P.</p>

<p>Remember, GU doesn't care about your writing score. Just your math and CR.</p>
