<p>Hi everyone,
I am currently a high school sophomore at an elite private school in Philadelphia. GPA's are unweighted and there is no class rank. All regular classes here are advanced/honors classes at most private schools as well as all public high schools. My dream schools are Columbia, Stanford, McGill and Penn. I currently have a professor at Columbia with whom is a mentor to me who is willing to write a recommendation for when I am applying in two years. I am also quadruple legacy at Penn and my grandmother works in the Education department</p>

<p>These are my current grades for this quarter at my new and current school</p>

<p>My extra curriculars include
-Women's club
-Support for positive body image
-My school's news paper (Which has one awards for being the best student news paper in Philadelphia)

<p>I am a three sport athlete and I intend to row in college
Fall sport: Cross Country

I will be rowing varsity for one of the best rowing teams in the city as a sophomore and I have been coached by Penn's head coach over the summer for the past two years.</p>
