<p>My grades definitely aren't amazing but it's worth an ask.</p>
<p>School: 9th & 10th grade - private international, 11th & 12th - public
GPA: 4.6 weighted. I'm not completely sure what my unweighted average is but it is a low A. I'd estimate around 92 or 93.
SAT: 2250
AP Tests: Haven't taken them yet!</p>
<p>There is an upward trend in my grades. I didn't take school way too seriously freshman year but I've been significantly improving and making up for it.</p>
<p>Classes:
9th & 10th grade I took all pre-IB courses
11th grade 3 pre-AP classes and 3 AP classes
12th grade I'll take 3 or 4 AP classes (I haven't started 12th grade yet)
I did try to take some rigorous courses (I took physics and statistics freshman year)</p>
<p>ECs:
Varsity Lacrosse
Amnesty International
Chess Club
Club dedicated to teaching elementary-level students
Yearbook Club Photographer
Some community service but not that much. I have 70+ hours I think. I do like to volunteer from time to time but it's not what I'm super passionate about.</p>
<p>Teacher Recs: I know I can get two very good ones from science and/or math teachers.</p>
<p>Work:
My real passion lies in arts and fashion. I'm a co-editor of a fashion, art, and music magazine. I co-write and edit some of the articles as well as look over the overall design with the editor-in-chief. I'm also a published freelance photographer- I've had fashion editorial spreads in other magazines. I've done commission work for clothing companies. I get paid to shoot weddings and other types of portraiture. I have even flown out of state to do shoots in Los Angeles and New York City with recognized fashion models and agencies. I also integrate this into my community service- I do art with underprivileged children.</p>
<p>Also I started studying music theory at the age of four and have played in various recitals for piano and guitar.</p>
<p>I am also passionate about business and economics. I've even interned for a business firm.</p>
<p>Awards:
Scholastic Art Award. Other than that, nothing. I don't compete too much in anything.</p>
<p>I definitely don't consider myself to have the best grades ever. I think my GPA is sort of low but I'm hoping to get a higher score on the SAT to compensate for it.</p>
