2.6 uw from freshmen year as i failed geometry/ended honors bio with a C, had just moved from india and was bullied. Sophmore- mostly B’s in core classes and as a junior i am in ap stat apush ap lang spanish 3 pre calc and physics with 3 A’s. next year senior- ap calc/econ/physics c/internship/lit/environmental, 1520 on the sat although i will retake it. current uw average is around an 86.i also was in the environmental club, red cross, book club, nonprofit. relay against hunger at my old school and this year i tutor twice a week, am in model united nations, UNICEF, I was thinking of doing some really cool EC’s which interest me this summer but i doubt it will be of much help as UGA is mostly numbers based, being a state school, so far my plan is to volunteer at my local hospital, internship at math center for kids, design an online service for children who have siblings with disorders/diseases and went through what i did freshmen year so they can vent and talk to me, start a swimming program at my local gym where I would teach older people how to swim., i am currently searching for a research internship to demonstrate that my past weak science background is not who i am today. any insight? i do not have strong science or math courses hence taking ap calc and physics c as a senior but will that matter to Uga or will more emphasis be placed on my not so rigorous freshmen and sophomore? thanks for any help, i will be an in-state Indian female when i apply, and also im taking college government over the summer through gwinett tech, should i maybe take another college science or something to increase my gpa for uga?
Research internship… good idea! (Stealing it.) More courses can only help you. Definitely call attention to your low grades in a positive manner, maybe a short answer, with overcoming bullying as an immigrant as your focus.
please help guys
