<p>White girl from a pretty prestigious all girls catholic prep school in NY (my grades may look low, but it's really hard to get A's in my school). There are only 2 APs offered before senior year (APeuro&american) because our cirriculum is super tough as it is. I did terrible freshman year due to apathy, but now I'm doing really well. I'm great at essays and interviews, and I know I'll be getting fabulous rec's from my guidance counsler, my american teacher, chem teacher & art history teacher (my intended major).</p>

<p>I worked 40+ hours a week over the summer at a cell phone distributor, and I will be working again this summer. I work during the year at Weight Watchers (I also lost 60 lbs during sophmore year). I will continue working there as well. This summer I'm attending a Journalism Workshop at Stanford University, as well as traveling to Italy in April & June (I don't know if I can include that anywhere, but I plan on writing my college essay on my reaction to The Birth of Venus).</p>
<p>SAT: 1890 (610M 630V 650W 10essay) - mediocre!
SATII: Chem 630 (Taking Lit & MathI in June)
I'm retaking the SATs in Oct & taking the ACTs (hopefully doing better on those then I did on the SATs)</p>
<p>Overall, I will try to emphasize my determination despite my dismal start. Also, how much my maturity level has increased.</p>
