<p>I'm a rising senior hoping to get into some good schools (I'll list possibilities below)
Here are my "stats":
SATs:
Oct 2009: 1760
CR 550
M 590
W 620 (essay 8)</p>
<p>Jan 2010: 1890
CR 660
M 610
W 620 (essay 8)</p>
<p>May 2010: 2120
CR 680
M 690
W 750 (essay 10)</p>
<p>SAT II's
Math II: 670
Lit: 640
French: 610 (I also took it in sophomore year and got a 490...)</p>
<p>My problem was originally that I needed to fix my SAT scores, which I did. And I got my subject tests out of the way. As for extracurriculars:
Guitar Class: 10, 11 (grade) - I've also played piano and violin before but not during high school
Classical Ballet: 9
Yoga: 9 10 11
Writer for school newspaper: 11
Co-editor in chief of school newspaper: 12
Intensive French course at The French Cultural center in Belgrade: summer before 12
Key Club member: 10, 11
Key Club webmaster: 12
Garden club: 11 - our club made a display at the philadelphia flower show and won some awards (I helped put together the display)
Creative Journaling class: 9
La Societe Honoraire de Francais member: 12
Honors society: 11, 12
Art Honors Society: 11, 12
Quilts For Kids: 10, 11, 12 - sewed 4 quilts (so far) and hand delivered them to child cancer patients at St. Christopher's hospital
Warming Up America: 11 - knitted 20 rectangles to this organization that sews them together to make blankets for the needy
art classes outside of school: 11</p>
<p>Awards:
Abingtonian Award - for writing for the school newspaper
President's Service Volunteer Award Silver
sent in log book for Congressional Award - Bronze, currently working on Silver
Le Grand Concours Certificat de Reussit - National French contest certificate of success
National Latin Exam - Magna Cum Laude
Social Studies Award</p>
<p>Other than that, I should mention that I was born in Serbia and that Serbo-Croatian was my first language and that I am fluent in it. I'll try to press this point when I apply to colleges</p>
<p>So here are the schools I am considering:
Northwestern, U Penn, Princeton, Columbia, Syracuse, NYU, U Michigan, U Washington
Not all of these may have journalism/communications, but I wanna see if I have a chance. Also, if there are some good journalism schools that I am missing, please tell me!
Thanks in advanced for the input!</p>
