<p>Hey everyone. I am at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas. Although I love the college and have made some great friends, I would like a little bit of a bigger school with a bigger language department. I am from New Jersey and came from a competitive high school. I want to study Spanish, Classics, International Relations, etc. Here is the stat break down:</p>
<p>HS GPA 3.7 (Honors, AP, and Accelerated)</p>
<p>Combined SAT 1240, Highest Individual Sitting 1160
MATH 610 VERBAL 630</p>
<p>Rank: Top 25% (At a very competitive blue ribbon school, graduating class close to 600 kids)</p>
<p>ECS: Ice hockey, DECA (marketing), Spanish Club, Business Academy (internships)</p>
<p>College GPA 1st Semester: 3.8</p>
<p>Classes Taken:
19th Century American Authors (200 Level Class)</p>
<p>Religion in a Global Context (Intro Course)</p>
<p>Journeys (Freshman Seminar Class somewhat like a humanities course, we read african literature, political documents, religious works, philosophy)</p>
<p>Fudamentals of Spanish II (Placed out of Spanish I)</p>
<p>Second Semester:</p>
<p>Etymology/Phil (Classics Course Level 250)</p>
<p>Spanish Comp. and Conversation (200 Level)</p>
<p>Calculus I</p>
<p>Contemporary Europe History</p>
<p>ECS:
CRL Representive (council for residence life, representative of my dorm)</p>
<p>CRL Treasurer </p>
<p>Campus Kitty Officer (Officer of my dorm in largest community service/charity organization on campus, I had to apply for this position)</p>
<p>Amnesty International (human rights group)</p>
<p>HIV Education Coalittion (AIDS awareness)</p>
<p>I am pretty sure each class counts as 3 credits so that would give me 24 transfer credits? I am not sure but I know I have enough credits to transfer to most schools. My Recs would come from my Spanish prof. who I had the 1st semester and will have the 2nd semester. Also a possible rec. from my English prof. I still have my GC rec from HS which was impressive.</p>
<p>Looking at schools such as:
Bucknell
Kenyon
Emory?</p>
<p>I am not sure if I want a huge school like a state school but I would consider it if I got into an honors program. I am a party girl, and I like to have a good time on the weekends. I don't need a city nearby but it wouldnt hurt. The school should be solid academically with a good grad school acceptance rate, but still parties hard. I like larger LACs like Bucknell, Emory, etc. Not sure if Emory would be good (I heard it is very Jewish and I am not sure if I would fit in). Not really sure about Boston schools but its an option. Any suggestions of schools with decent transfer rates, good with fin. aid, housing, etc.</p>
