<p>hey guys, I chanced upon the huntsman program while looking up colleges in the US and was wondering maybe what my chances are of getting in. I would be your equivalent of a junior i think. The only problem is i havent done sats or sat 2s at all yet. Oh and I forgot to mention I'm ireland so i'm fluent in english, near fluent in irish, proficient probably in french, been doing it quite a while, since like 9 but only properly since like 13. Oh and i want my target language to be japanese which ive been doing for 2 years now.</p>
<p>My school is highly ranked private school here.
I'd be probably top in my year( out of around 60)</p>
<p>We dont do gpas at all, our system is totally different, its based on, like the uk system, big exams in our chosen subjects at the end of our last year. But if it helps i usually get like all A's and would be hoping for like top marks in the exams.</p>
<p>my subjects are: English
Irish
Maths
FRench
Japanese
Economics
Accounting
Physics</p>
<p>so id be hopin to do sat 2s in maths 2 and japanese. im pretty good good at maths always get hgh a's so am hopeful for that anyway, but i'm not really sure what sat2 jap is like.
I guess te other problem with the difference between our systems is the reliance of yours on extrecurricular activities which barely even occur at all over here..</p>
<p>What ecs i cud say i have tho are:
Won all ireland linguistics olympiad in 2009 and represented ireland at international linguistics olympiad in the next two years as well.</p>
<p>Invited by department of education to take oart in irish junior science olympiad due to high examination results in science.</p>
<p>Invited by department of education to att extramural maths classes of university level due to hight exam scores</p>
<p>Atttended centre foe talented youth ireland three years in a row completing university level courses in chinese, japanese and astronomy.</p>
<p>Received bronze presidents award(you guys wont have heard of it but its pretty prestigiuos) for completing 13 hours of community service, physicactivity, venture activity and personal activity last year.</p>
<p>Set up mini company lat year in school and was secreary and treasurer.</p>
<p>Am member of my schools chamber choir, a bass, and have competed in competition on irish television as well as travlled to italy to perform.</p>
<p>And finally i would be hoping to become a prefect in my school next year, like in harry potter if you dont know what they are, theyre like student leader things.</p>
<p>And i am really passionate in international studies, i have travelled a lot and been to loads of countries in asia and europe as wellas usa, australia and new zealand. I love learning languages as well, i taught myself a lot of the japanese i know, i ave a teacher now tho. And also i really enjoy business subjects too as you could probably tell from my subjects in school... ok i think this has been really way too long but thanks anyay if you bothered to read it all... ii'm a guybtw if i didnt mention it</p>
