<p>Hello, please chance me. Thanks. </p>
<p>I am a 1/2 white, 1/2 asian US citizen born and raised (and still am in) China. I went to grade school in a Chinese local school and am fluent in Chinese (Mandarin). I am now going to a American international school with English speaking teachers from the US and Canada teaching an American curriculum. I have never spent any of my school life in the US except for 3 months of kindergarten, but I do not think that counts. </p>
<p>GPA: 3.85 unweighted (however, I goofed off for the first 3 semester of my HS, with only a 3.48 then, but I managed to work it back up) - Does not do class ranks, but probably top 10% at least
If I finish this year and not fail any (most likely I will not fail any) I would have 10 APs altogether, with one independently studied. Skipped Alg2 by doing EPGY online course during the summer after freshmen year. On course to finishing a math minor when I graduate from HS. </p>
<p>SAT:math 800, CR - 740, Writing - 710, total 2250 (took it only once)
