<p>I'm a white female living in Florida. I have a 3.7 GPA, ranked in the top 12% of my class. I am in the IB Programme, and have taken three AP courses as well, scoring all 4's. I have a 32 ACT, 1400 Reading and Math SAT, and taking Subject tests soon. I recently retook the SAT. </p>
<p>I play violin, part of the National Thespian Society and have won both state and district awards for my theatre troupe, gaining straight superiors throughout my high school career. I'm a senator and founding member of Model UN, in French Club, been on missions for my church, swam varsity for two years and have won awards in county and district meets, and is an administrative assistant (head intern through selective process) for my county's cultural arts office. I was the first junior intern to actually work with artists and play a big role in my community's art culture. I also worked in my town's hospital and use both experiences for my future career as a psychiatrist and artist. I have also founded a program called Creations for a Cure that is run through my local museum that will hold an art auction that goes towards pediatric cancer research.</p>
<p>I lost my dad in my freshman year, and faced many depressing situations (financially and emotionally) that have affected my grades throughout my high school career. I was constantly bullied and so stressed, that my immune system was compromised a lot of the time. I went to a counselor and tried to stay afloat within everything. I wish my GPA was higher, but my father's past and people both harassing my family and bullying me made me develop a lot of bad anxiety, where I was sent to a counselor. Though, I would like to work with the Keith Haring Foundation as an art activist (my father had HIV/AIDS.)</p>
<p>I'm a QuestBridge finalist.</p>
