<p>Hi, so I am just finishing up my sophomore year of high school, I am starting my college list (I know it is a little early, but I am a planner).</p>
<p>Academics:
I take the hardest courses possible (except in math I'm in the second hardest) and am earning A's in almost all (8th grade year: spanish 1, and Honors Algebra 1. freshman year: Honors- English, Bio, Geometry, and World History 1; as well as art, spanish 2, and gym. sophomore year: Honors- English, Chem, Algebra 2; fashion marketing, gym, spanish 3, and AP World History), I earned a B+ in Honors Bio freshman year. Next year I am taking AP US History, AP Lang, AP Economics, Honors Physics and Precalc, as well as Spanish 4 and SGA. My school doesn't do rankings, but just from talking with people I'm most likely in the top 10%. </p>
<p>ECs
I don't really do a whole lot through my school just because there is nothing that I really like. However freshmen and this year I played field hockey, I was jv this year, but I won't be able to play in the fall because I tore my acl... this means playing senior year will be a stretch.</p>
<p>I am a competitive dancer outside of school and am in my studio's dance company (you have to be invited) I do that for about 10 hours a week so that takes up a lot of time. I am also in Girls Scouts and have been since I was 5 and have earned by bronze and silver awards and am currently working on my gold. This year I joined my schools junior math league, am a part of DECA, and am planning on joining the senior one next year. I also won first place at my school's National History Day (NHD) competition as well as regionals and states and am competing at nationals (NHD is an in depth history research competition). Next year I am planning on joining two honor societies and have already been accepted in student government. However, since I am not in a marketing class (I couldn't bare the marketing teacher for another year) I am not allowed to be a part of DECA.</p>
<p>However the one place I am lacking is summer programs. Freshmen year I wasn't able to do much as field hockey started in august and my family and I took a 2 week vacation to Hawaii so I could learn about the culture since I was born there. This summer I am having ACL surgery mid July so I won't be able to do much, however I do have a week internship as a Congressional Aide and am volunteering as a historian for a non-profit</p>
<p>Community Service
I have done varying community service from dancing at a non profit company to volunteering at the Inauguration. However because I am so busy with other things, I don't know how much I will have done</p>
<p>I would like to double major in economics and international relations/studies. </p>
<p>I'd love my college to have school spirit (doesn't necessarily need the best teams though) and good academics! I'd like to stay on the east coast (no farther in then Tennessee) but would consider California. I'd like mid sized (5,000-10,000) and near a big city. The cost isn't an issue.</p>
<p>I have no religious preference. </p>
<p>Any suggestions would be amazing!!! Thank you.</p>
