<p>My SAT I scores are rather low, but i am taking the test again. I am not a very good test taker.</p>

<p>I speak Hebrew, Russian, English and Spanish.
I moved from Israel 4 years ago. </p>

<p>I go to a private Jewish High School, that doesn't offer any ap or honors classes.</p>

<p>EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: I am the founder of a project called Faith to Faith. Adolescents of different faiths are matched up with a family of a different faith who has a special needs child. Before the adolescent starts working with the child, the family of the adolescent and the family of the special needs get together and I will facilitate a dialogue on community service and acceptance through the lens of the two religions represented. Once the adolescents have started seeing their families once a week, there will be several mandatory programs during the year, this includes but not limited to speaker forums, film talks, and social justice film talks. I believe that the different religious communities in Seattle are highly segregated, and it is important for me to bring different religious communities together and strengthen their ties to one another, so that young teens will no longer be afraid to talk about their religious beliefs. </p>

<p>COMMUNITY SERVICE AND JOBS: I enjoy serving my community through volunteering and spearheading different community project. My goal is to provide adults and students with the knowledge about current humanitarian issues that affect people which will lead the students and adults to volunteer and give back to their community. I accomplish this by promoting awareness about humanitarian issues that tie to people, such as Modern-Day Slavery, Global Warming, and the genocide that’s taking place in Darfur. I also enjoy, volunteering for a Teen Street Outreach Program which provide support to homeless teens. I enjoy volunteering for the Friendship Circle, and I am currently volunteer for two families who have severely disabled children. I recently spearheaded a project, “Eat for Darfur” and raised money to support Doctors without Boarders. I am organizing a concert to benefit Darfur, and I am part of the University of Washington Coalition for Darfur and The Washington State coalition for Darfur. I believe that the only way to end the atrocities in the world is by educating my fellow students and adults and encouraging them to volunteer and give back to their community. </p>

<p>damn, if u put that much effort into posting on this forum u have an extremely good chance of getting in, and the SAT 1's arent too bad, but a little improvement wouldnt hurt</p>

3

<p>er actually i think id hafta disagree with the above statement sorry</p>

<p>ur SAT II's are fine but ur SAT 1 which is much more importnat is really too low. </p>

<p>Your GPA is fine, tho that may be because u didnt take any honors and AP classes. WashU will understand that u were limited cuz ur school didnt offer any AP or honors classes, but that piece will also hurt u because u wont be as prepared for college classes as other prospective students who have taken AP and honors classes.</p>

<p>i think u recopied ur extracurricular activities and honors like...2 times?
but they are impressive and they will definately help u.</p>

<p>if u really work on ur SAT score and get it much higher and write a killer essay and good recommendations then u stand a chance. Otherwise WashU says on their website that good extracurriculars wont make an academically weak student admissable so work on that.</p>

<p>it might help for u to do an internship somewhere over teh summer or take college classes at a local community college to show u can handle college level classes</p>

<p>Well,
This summer i am interning for the Anti Defamation League
I am taking care of an autistic child, and i am also tutoring 3 kids, and working at starbucks.
I also taking Arabic at a local college.</p>

5

<p>ur fort</p>

6

<p>Well,
I really want to go to Barnard ( yes i am fully aware that my nickname is columbiagirl007). I want to Major in Middle Eastern Studies and Minor in Arabic.</p>

7

<p>WashU is an amazing school to study languages at, its german program is one of the top in the nation, its also has a huge arabic dept.
A tip for applying, WashU doesnt want to hear about nearly that many extracirriculars, i would pick only a few to mention, and for your jobs definitely dont put down no more than 4 or 5. If you put that many, they really take away from one another. You should only include several, those you are most passionate about.</p>

<p>hey--
washu does have an awesome languages department, especially outside of romance languages. i'm not sure if you're interested in religious studies, but the department is awesome, especially for the kids interested in jewish studies (not sure of its formal name). The one piece of advice I'd give is that you should either retake the SAT I or try your hand at the ACT, or both even. Some people tend to do much better on the ACT than the SAT, but then again, in the admissions process, an ACT pretty much makes your SAT II scores (which are very good) pretty unnecessary.</p>
