<p>So, I want to find out what my chances are at being accepted into top universities in the US (especially Yale.) This resume is not completed since I haven't started senior year yet. I'm having some anxiety as I am finally becoming a senior, and I feel like an ant compared to all the other accomplished young adults my age. I'm not president of any clubs, nor have I received any distinguished awards from the nation (shucks.)</p>
<p>BACKGROUND
I currently live in Hawaii. I've lived in NYC, Shanghai, and Maryland, hopefully giving me an interesting life story? (Also, my uncle recently started a farm in rural China and every time I go back to visit, I help out. I hope to spend more time there later on and help build infrastructure, sell goods, etc.) I am entering my senior year and will graduate 2013. </p>
<p>GPA AND CLASS RANK
I go to an International Baccalaureate school so we don't exactly have GPAs...but apparently I have close to a 5.0 weighted because I have 7's (highest grade) in all my classes so far. I'm positive I'm in the top 1%, I go to a reaaaaally small school.</p>
<p>STANDARDIZED TESTS
-SAT: 2180 (700 CR 700 W 780 M) (first time, will probably take again to boost my scores)
-ACT: 32 (31 W 28 M 36 R 34 S) (first time, will take again to boost my math, that was a total fail, I could feel it when I took the test.)
-SAT 2's: going to take it this Saturday, but I feel a bit ill prepared.</p>
<p>RESUME
Work:
-Internship at Hawaii Marines Newspaper (contributing writer, photojournalist, want to pursue a writing career)
