<p>Hey everyone. I'm a junior in high school and I need some help in finding schools. I'm interested in a liberal arts school, anywhere in the area of 1,500 to below 8,000 students. Hopefully you can recommend some that might be reaches, matches, or safeties. I'm pretty interested in a hands-on learning experience, and small class ratios. I've looked at schools like Kalamazoo, Macalester and Beloit. I'd like a school that has an international focus and a good study abroad program. Diversity would also be a plus. </p>
<p>Academics: </p>
<p>I'm an IB diploma candidate, so most of my classes are AP level classes (5 right now)
GPA: Should be around a 3.7 UW when I graduate, hopefully. Don't have class rank.
SAT: 1880. My combined Critical Reading and Math is only 1200, so I know that hurts. I'm going to take it again. I'll take the ACT as well, hopefully get better results. </p>
<p>EC's: </p>
<p>Ran aftercare program in 10th grade for around 6 months. I structured it and organized it. Around 12 kids total most of the time. Probably 50+ hours of other volunteer work at the school.
I am currently in fellowship program. I am creating my own awareness campaign about fair trade. 200+ hours of community service.
Volunteering at a assisted living center for 40+ hours. </p>
<p>Internships/Jobs: </p>
<p>Internship at the Global Fairness Initiative for a month. Researching, writing summaries, etc.
Internship at a restaurant, helped with invoices, filing, tech problems.
Will be volunteering as a counselor at an overnight camp for 3 or 5 weeks this summer.
I am working with Global Goods Partners (NGO) on their social networking presence. Includes Twitter, Myspace, etc. </p>
<p>Other things that are small but might help: </p>
<p>I wrote a novella in 10th grade. Around the size of The Giver.
I'm learning to play the guitar, should be decent by the time I graduate.
I went on a teen delegation to Nicaragua this past summer with Witness for Peace. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your time, I really appreciate it.</p>
