<p>State or Country: VA
School Type: Large, Public
Ethnicity: Sudanese (African-American) but US citizen
Gender: F</p>

<p>SAT I: 690 M 710 V 730 W
SAT IIs: 680 Biology 670 French 720 Lit
GPA: 3.7 UW, (All grades are A's and B+'s with the exception of 2 B's)
Rank: School doesn't rank</p>

<p>All Classes have been AP/Honors since freshman year
In addition, I am taking a french literature course at George Mason University (dual-enrollment) because I have finished all the french courses available at my school
I am fluent in Arabic (wanted to take an SAT II in that but too bad they dont even offer it!!)</p>

<p>Extracuriculars:
- I Co-founded a not-for profit organization for human rights called Teens 4 Peace
- Under Teens 4 Peace I was able to help organize a huge rally in order to stop the genocide occuring in Darfur, Sudan. It was a huge success, mostly becuase it was organized in Washington D.C.'s popular Dupont Circle. I worked with Amnesty International, Save Darfur, STAND, and the Genocide Intervention Fund
- STAND (students taking action now: darfur), International High School Coordinator
-STAND Education Outreach Committee, Executive Board Memeber
- INOVA Fairfax Hospital's Blood Bank, intern
- Time Kaine's Campaign for Governor 2005, Volunteer
- Public Library, Volunteer
- I attended the Boston Area Darfur Activism Conference at Harvard University last Winter
- I taught English after school to high school girls in Sudan while I was there last summer (My aunt is the headmistress of an all girl's school there)
- I shaddowed a member of the Sudanese Parliament for two weeks this summer
- Sudanese Youth Group, president
- French Honor Society, president
- People Around the World, officer
- Young Democrats, president</p>

<p>I plan on making my work and passion for the Crisis in Darfur the main point of my essays/personal statements and how I have realized that I want to spend my life doing humanitarian work. I will also be writing about how I first got involved in it.. which is a long story that traces back to my first ever trip to Sudan... way before the disaster even began.</p>

<p>I guess I should tell you where I will be applying now.... I hope I am not aiming to high, I know others have higher stats than me but I really do think I will be a great member to the class of 2011 at whichever school accepts me because I really am passionate about what I do and I love getting others involved in it (i.e. the rally, reaching out to internation high schools). I will make sure to show that in my interview and personal statement. I also realize that its not all about the stats.... its about personality and dedication, two things I know I have.

<p>Intended Major? </p>

<p>If you really are that passionate and commited, I think you have a good shot at all those schools. I've heard Brown in particular likes lopsided, but strong candidates. Unrelated to your chances, but you might want to look into the Peace Corps or International Red Cross for after college. I think both do work in the Sudan.</p>
