<p>I am ending my Jr. Year and here are the stats that I think I will have next fall when applying;</p>

<p>GPA: 3.13
Weighted: 3.7 (about 12 honors, 3 AP)</p>

<p>(Note: my GPA freshman year was about a 2.6, sophomore year about a 3.4 and Jr year about a 3.5. I have taken more credits than needed in almost every subject)</p>

<p>SAT:
Math; 650
Reading; 610
Writing; 630
(Taking the ACT in June)</p>

<p>I'm really involved with my school. </p>

<p>I have been class president for the past 3 years, and was recently elected for a 4th year. I am the first person at my school to be elected all 4 years as class president.</p>

<p>Clubs I'm in:</p>

<p>-Young democrats (Vp jr.year, President Senior year)
-STAND (VP)
-Persian Club
-AIDS peer educating group
-Homecoming/Prom committee
-Track (indoor & out door)
-Student ambassador at graduation (4 years)
-National Honors Society</p>

<p>Outside of school, I have worked at a quiznos for 2 years, and now work for a child abuse clinic. I have also volunteered for a few political campaigns.</p>

<p>I'm from Montgomery County, Maryland. I go to a public school. Montgomery County is supposed to be one of the best public school education systems in the country.</p>

<p>I have a few awards for things such as leadership and academics.</p>

<p>What are my chances at Rhodes?</p>

<p>You’ll get in :slight_smile: … I had worse stats than you and I managed to get in even though I’m an international student.!!</p>

3

<p>international students get in everywehre</p>

4

<p>and why is that…?</p>

5

<p>because having a big international population at a school makes a school sound more diverse. </p>

<p>I mean, don’t get me wrong but being a international student definetly lowers standards for addmission to most schools.</p>

6

<p>hmmm…that’s good for us :D</p>

<p>

Well, not really. There are financial expectations for international diversifiers that don’t pertain to domestic candidates. Said differently, international admits integrate financial needs and abilities.</p>

<p>Ironically, I’m familiar with one just-rejected @ #1 choice RC and given a 4 yr scholarship @ an Ivy League.</p>

<p>Who says there isn’t a loving God! :cool:</p>

<p>Hi guys,
Stats are not everything, at least it is my case. Whether you get in or not depends on many other things as well. Take this advice:CHOOSING SCHOOLS IS THE ULTIMATE FACTOR. Choose them right and theyll choose you. If you’re sure RC is your place, then don’t worry and just go for it.
Just my 2 cents.</p>
