<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I’m french (female), I live in Paris. I'm 15, I skipped the 3rd grade. I’m entering in junior year this september so I haven’t taken the SATs yet.
I’m at EAB school, which is a bilingual school.</p>

<p>I’m fluent in french, english, and I also speak italian and spanish (but not fluently).</p>

<p>I had congratulations the last two terms (which is the highest honors). Next year, I’ll take bac S, which is the hardest bac (aka IB). </p>

<p>My 9th grade wasn’t successful because, I had an operation because of the detachment of the retina of my left eye. It really affected me and thus had an impact on my grades such as the first term (three months) of my 10th grade because I had an accident with my bike and a car drove on my right hand.</p>

<p>At school, I participate at the debate club and at the journal.
During march, I went to HMCE (Harvard Model Congress Europe) and I’m going during the next two years.</p>

<p>Since I’m 4, I’m at the Conservatoire du Centre de Paris where I play piano, I do music theory, I take sing courses which give me the opportunity to sing at Theatre du Chatelet, Mairie du III et du IVe, and I do dance which also gave me the opportunity to dance at Theatre du Chatelet and Casino de Paris. Since I’m 8, I do theater, I’ve been at Cours Simon and Cours Florent which are the best in Paris.</p>

<p>I’m also skiing since I’m 5 (I had honors/awards), and I play golf since I’m 10.</p>

<p>This summer, I’m going to Columbia’s summer program for high school students where I’ll study the science of psychology. I’ll also do volunteer work during august in NYC.
I’m not doing a lot of volunteer work because associations/hospitals… don’t allow people under 18 to volunteer. But I co-organised and participated at a humanitary jogging at my school and I take care of my grand father with my mother since he is unable to take care of himself (he had three cancers, fell several times..)</p>

<p>I'm doing two internships right now : one with a lawyer, and one with a cardiologist which gave me the opportunity to assist to a surgery, I was at the bloc and I just see my grandfather having heart surgery (it was a changement of his pacemaker) which was fascinating and really decided me to be a surgeon.</p>

<p>I took the FCE last week.
My college choices are : Dartmouth (top choice), Cornell, MIT and NYU.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I think it is too early to chance you until you have taken tests like the SAT or ACT so that there is a basis of comparison between your background and the US applicants. Try to study diligently for them and demonstrate what you are capable of, now that you are past the medical issues of grades 9 and 10.</p>

<p>We can’t chance you without knowing your grades and test scores.</p>
