<p>Hey, I'm currently a British student studying for diploma in my home country. I have 8 GCSE's (hopefully 10 by the time I start) all the grades are C-B. I'll also be leaving with (hopefully) the equivelent of 7 A Levels, 6 of which will be grades A-B and one D (I have a reason for that grade) Someone on here (and with the help of fullbright) kindly converted my GPA for me and I now have somewhere in the region of a 3.0.</p>
<p>I'll be applying for:
Azusa Pacific University
Concordia College - MN
Temple University
University of Louisville
University of New Haven
University of Oregon
Western Kentucky University </p>
<p>EC/Leader/Volunteering:
. Volunteer at my schools Connexions library where I helped pupils find a college that suited them and answered any questions they may have. (2 years)
. I've been doing majorettes for 5 years (nearly 6 years when I apply) 4 (hopefully 5) of which I have been a leader (or an equivalent)
. Leader of a charity auction where we will be raising money for 2 charities, Help For Heroes (soldiers) and one where disabled and those with learning disabilites go to give their families and carers are a break.
. I was part of a drama class before the group disbanded
. I'm on the student council
. 900+ hours work placement (unpaid, kind of volunteering)</p>
<p>I've done more but those are within the past 3 years, before that though I have
. Taken keyboard lessons
. Was a ''bully buddy'' --- in other words helped kids that were getting bullied
. Part of my schools choir
. Taken part in school plays from when I was aged 3-11</p>
<p>I also got most improved in my high school drama class (voted by the pupils) </p>
<p>Jobs:
. Working for a childminder
. Caring for an ill person who is waiting for a transplant</p>
<p>The schools don't require me to do the SAT/ACT. I know it wouldn't hurt to take them but after taking practice ones I fear I would get a very low score as I am a bad exam taker. </p>
<p>Am I aiming too high? If so where should I apple to? </p>
<p>Do I have a chance? If so which ones? </p>
<p>Have I got enough EC's?</p>
<p>Are any of these reaches, safeties or matches?</p>
