<p>ECs:
*-Scholastic Scrimmage<a href="9-12">/i</a>: JV Captain, finished 2nd in district. Varsity captain senior year.

*-Amnesty International/Human Rights Club <a href="11-12">/i</a>: In the process of founding the club with my best friend and APUSH/Model UN advisor. We plan on doing some big things :)
*-Student Focus Group<a href="11-12">/i</a>: Selected by the new principle to improve our school. I'm very heavily involved in this.
*-Model UN <a href="10-12">/i</a>: I'm not the best delegate, as I'm a pretty shy and quiet person, but I love the club.
*-NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, Spanish National Honor Society<a href="11-12">/i</a>: I'm planning on taking an officer position in NHS or SNHS :)
-Random conglomerate of clubs that I will probably not involve and just joined to see what they were like

-Will be picking up a job

<p>*Recommendations: *
-I definitely will be asking my APUSH teacher for one, and It will probably be very, very good as I'm very close to him and I've consistently done extremely well in all of his classes (he was my Honors American Studies II and Microeconomics teacher as well)
-2nd rec is a tossup between my GSA advisor, Scholastic Scrimmage Advisor/Honors American I teacher (who is a very animated person and does interviews for Hamilton, haha), and my lovely Honors English teacher. They'll probably all be great as well.
-Counselor recommendation will probably be great, she likes me, knows I'm a driven student, and I visit her quite often :)</p>
<p>*Essays: * They'll probably be very good, my voice is extremely strong when I write. I'll probably write about how GSA has molded me into someone who really wants to make a strong impact in the community.</p>
<p>Hooks: Low-income (<40k), 1st generation to attend college, daughter of Vietnam War refugees, craptastic school, I'm not a math asian?
*Killers: * I'm asian :(</p>
<p>*Prospective Majors: * International Relations/Studies, Psychology, Linguistics, History, Management, Law</p>
<p>Note for my terrible amount of AP classes: Currently, my school offers only 4, they'll be adding a few more next year. It's really impossible to take more than 2 without killing yourself as we have block scheduling so in the first half of the year we have our AP classes and twice the work. I'm taking the hardest classes I can :)</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it. I'd love suggestions for other colleges to look at as well!</p>
I hope I can voice that well in my essays so that the colleges I’m applying to can see that.</p>
