<p>Academics:
-I am a junior and I have a 4.0 GPA weighted and a 3.75 unweighted.
-I go to a very rigorous private Catholic school and I'm pretty sure I'm at least in the top 10%.
-SAT:I haven't taken the SAT yet but I'm aiming for at least a 2100.
-SAT Subject Tests: I'm going to take them in English and Spanish.
-I'm taking AP English and Spanish and next year I will take AP Ceramics and Government in addition to that.
-I have taken ceramics since 10th grade and next year the class I'm taking is concentrated on making a portfolio for college.
-Letters of Rec: I will get my letters from my counselor, Algebra II/Trig. teacher and Honors English Teacher.</p>

<p>Extracurricular:
-I have also been a Girl Scout for the past 11 years and I have earned my Gold Award organizing baking at the Ronald McDonald House (a place for the families of sick children in hospitals).
-I am in National Honors Society, Campus Ministry and CSF.
-I have done steady volunteering at a school with many underpriviledged Latino students since 9th grade. I tutor there about 4 hours a week (On Tuesdays and Wednesdays). I have been very involved with this school. I know the position these kids are in because I was an English learner who came from an underpriviledged family as well.
-I have about 200 hours so far but I'm definitely hoping to get many more.
-I am in National Art Honors Society and I am in a commitee that is putting together a mural for the choir room.

<p>Awards:
-4.0 Award, Presidental Service Award, Bronze, Silver and Gold Girl Scout Award.</p>

<p>Extra (I guess my "hook"):
I am also billingual Latina. Spanish was my first language, and even though I am now fully fluent and successful, I went into school not knowing a word of English. My parents are immigrants from Bolivia and El Salvador. I am going the be the first in my family to go to college.</p>

<p>Colleges:
My first choice will be Dartmouth. I'm going to apply ED
Others will be USC, Boston College, Georgetown, UC Santa Barbara.</p>

<p>Any suggestions to what I could do to up my chances? Thanks (sorry it's so long)</p>

<p>Take more AP Courses NOT JUST IN ART. Try more science i.e. Chem, Physics, Bio, etc. if they are available to you. That said, take their corresponding SAT2s. </p>

<p>Other than that, you look good. Write awesome essays and good luck. =)</p>

<p>there is AP ceramics?</p>

4

<p>yeah at my school there is a class you take after 2 years of ceramics where you spend the whole time making a portfolio for college.</p>

<p>bump? please?</p>

<p>I say you have a good chance at all especially with your background. Dartmouth is probably a reach, but Ivys are pretty much reaches for anyone and I think you still have a good shot. All this assuming you will get a 2100+.</p>

<p>AP Ceramics? </p>

<p>A class is only an AP class for the purpose of college admissions if the College Board offers an AP exam in that subject area. AP Studio Art is an AP, but there is no AP Ceramics exam or porfolio submission option (to the College Board).</p>

<p>I guess AP Studio Art is the technical term for it. :)</p>
