Hello, thank you for any potential responses. I really appreciate your time. Here are my stats! I’m a senior with a current major in visual arts who plans to attend the SFS or major in poli sci with concentration in international relations/minor in language (depending on the school).
General Stats:
-Asian Female
-Dad is PhD, Mom is currently working on PhD
-Visual Arts student w/3 art classes per day
-Ranking: 2 out of 110 (I go to an audition-only performing/visual arts high school, which is why each class is so small! We’re sister schools with another school on campus where we take our academics. That school has around 2000 students and we’re ranked separately bc our arts-based curriculum tends to drag down our GPAs)
