<p>I'm going to Governor's School of Public Issues in the
summer- kids at my school say everyone from our
school who has gone to gov are pretty much guaranteed
at least one ivy ( i know that's just talk, but I thought I'd
put that in there)</p>

<p>i got 5s in ap eng lang and ap us history</p>
<p>my school doesn't weight courses- I have taken all
honors core courses only my music has been at the cp
level
an a plus is a 4.33
this year as a junior I may have exactly an a minus gpa
(yikes). my real gpa is about a 3.8 now.</p>
<p>my passion is public speaking
I also write poetry but it's only being published in an
ezine-does that count?</p>
<p>Some majors I'm considering are Internation/Global
Studies, IR, english Literature or speech and rhetoric
studies, French, Comparative Literature, Area or Regional
Studies
I'd like to study the people of the world and how they
express themselves through the written word</p>
<p>I see myself either as a lawyer working for a good cause
(what, I'm not sure) or as some other type of grad
student, maybe go to be a professor</p>
<p>i'll also apply to th coll of nj, rutgers nb (which are state
schools)
i really want to go to vassar of all those there, even if i
did get into an ivy i might pick vassar above it because it
has all the characteristics I'm looking for:
small lac personal atmosphere
international studies program
-open curriculum (altho i would be okay going
somewhere with required courses, i would infintely prefer
an open curriculum to make it easy to double major)
beautiful campus</p>
<p>if you all have any ideas about a school that would give
me good merit aid or might fight my criteria and stats,
please tell me</p>
<p>i just took june sats and they came out worse than the
ones here, largely due to having a huge fight with my
mom and being distracted and upset by that
is it worthwhile to take them again, or should i take more
satiis?
also, i think i'll try the act b/c i've heard the math is
easier
if any one has any aadvice on how to write a good essay
with those inane sat prompts or how to do well on math,
please share </p>
<p>one of my recs will be from someone with a phd form princeton, teacher at govschool, another from debate coach, and of course guidance counselor</p>
