<p>I am a junior who is taking 3 AP and 4 Honors classes and I maintain a GPA of 4.8 out of 5.2 weighted, and a 3.7 unweighted. My current class rank is 7/175.</p>
<p>My current class schedule; Culinary Arts (Dual Credit), AP Calc AB, AP US History, AP Biology, English III (H), Psychology (H), Spanish III (H), Speech and Debate II (H).</p>
<p>The class schedule for my senior year will be AP Calculus BC, AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Physics, Spanish IV Honors, Pro-Start 2 (3rd year of Culinary class), Speech III Honors.</p>
<p>I have not taken either the SAT or the ACT, although on practice tests of the SAT's I usually get around 2250. My PSAT scores were mid 70's across the board.</p>
<p>In the extra curricular department I founded and I am the President of our school's Gay Straight Alliance. I will be the Captain of the Speech team by my senior year. I am captain of one of the competitive Culinary Arts teams at our school. I am co-captain of the chess team (who took 3rd at Nationals last year), which I have been an active player for 9 years. I also happen to be in National Honors Society. I have been in all these clubs since I was a freshman, except for National Honors Society which I joined as a sophomore.</p>
<p>In the community/volunteer department, I have gone to and spoken at several anti-drug, anti-violence, and other types of marches. I volunteer at the animal shelter in the summer and have amassed about 150 hours of volunteer service. I have volunteered at the local soup kitchen as well for the past couple of years, especially during the holidays. I have helped to restore the clubhouse out by the golf course near where I live as well. I also help as a link between the Taos High's GSA and our local PFLAG chapter. Lastly I have been going to elementary school classrooms and teaching kids chess since the 8th grade.</p>
<p>As for stuff in my personal life that may be helpful, I come from a Latino as well as Hispanic heritage and I live in New Mexico.</p>
