<p>I wanted to know what my chances were for admission to emory and for the possibility of being an emory scholar.</p>
<p>I'm only a junior, so I haven't taken the SAT or any AP tests yet and unfortunately my high school doesn't release GPA/class rank info until the second semester, so here's my stuff besides that-</p>
<p>Classes-
GT Physics (gt is the highes they offer in these classes at my school)
GT Pre-Cal
GT English
AP US History
American Sign Language II (I'm concerned about this one b/c emory doesn't accept it as a foreign language. It's the only foreign language that will fit into my schedule, so I'm wondering if I need to take french or something at my community college on the side....comments? I love ASL and I think that having a Deaf teacher is a wonderful oppertunity. I'd hate to drop it senior year for something else, but I don't want it to limit me....)</p>
<p>Volunteering-
I have about 250 hours right now, but I hope to have about 500 hours by the time I apply next year.
I volunteer at my local library, hospital, and Shoes for Orphaned Souls foundation outside of school. I'm actively involved in a bunch of clubs at my school as well like Student Council, NHS, and Crimestoppers and I do a lot of communtiy service projects for the school through them. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars-
Tennis- I've been on the varsity team the last three years
Piano- played for nine years. I do the state theory test every year and compete in GUILD. I played at the State Piano Convention in an ensemble last year.
Harp-I play for my school's orchestra, band, and choir and in a youth orchestra outside of school as well. I've been to a ton of camps over the summer and have performed with the Richmond Harp Insitute. I hope to make the state orch this year....I play a lot of free concerts and stuff for the nursing home down the street and play at churches, parties, and weddings (it's my part time job). </p>
<p>No big awards, just school stuff....</p>
<p>So what do you think?</p>
