<p>Chinese, NYC resident, female, single parent, very competitive high school, low income (?, I believe my parents aren't computed in the cases of aid given by Yale, Harvard, and most Ivies...)</p>
<p>Cumulative Average: 94.80% (including first term in of Junior year, could possibly drop a little)</p>
<p>PSAT: 90
SAT: Have not taken them yet, aiming for 2100+
SAT II: Bio (720), will be taking US History this May, and possibly Spanish/Writing/Math October.</p>
<p>Interested in Pre-Law program (polisci major? or maybe english, american history, spanish), Theater minor...or even double major if it happens</p>
<p>All the classes I take in school are honors level, or APs.</p>
<p>APs:
Soph - APEuro (3)
Junior - APUSH (likely to get a 4/5)
Senior - will likely take AP Stat, AP Gov't, and AP Spanish (at least 2 of 3, but likely 3 if they work it into my schedule)</p>
<p>ECs...
~Sports: Soccer, varsity team since freshmen year.
~Academic Teams: Moot Court/Mock Trial: since sophomore year (you're only allowed to join starting then), will likely be a co-captain of the team next year
~School productions: minor roles, backstage, set design
~Student Government involvement, but not president</p>
<p>College Classes (through CUNY program)
~intro to drama (B+)
~will take college English next year, in addition to another elective

<p>Volunteer Work
~100+ hours at Housing Works - volunteered at their used book store, proceeds go to homeless individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS
~135+ hours at not for profit summer theater workshop, set design intern, worked with younger children</p>
<p>Jobs
~possibly something retail retail related if I really need the money and have time.</p>
<p>Additional Classes (for fun)
~Saturday's at the New York Society's Free Academy (American history related courses, one is linked to drama)
~Summer of Junior Year at Shakespeare Lab Junior (will probably do it again this year)</p>
<p>Honor Societies: Arista, Archon, Mu Alpha Theta (math), some NYS science thing...</p>
<p>My workload in HS has always been challenging. I would take APs but my school either has really rigorous prerequsites for them, limiting your AP load to Junior year. I could conceivably have taken an additional AP this year (in the sciences, which I am not interested in if I droped my language elective)</p>
<p>I take four languages (if you include English): Spanish (5 years at the end of Senior year), French (2 year, would love to continue but it won't fit in my Senior schedule), and Latin (2 years, school requirement). I came with acceleration from middle school in Math and Science, so I finished the Regents curriculum faster, and have four years of science (Bio, Chem, Physics, Earth Science)</p>
<p>My school does not offer AP English, despite being the city's top humanities HS--peculiar isn't it?</p>
<p>This is what I can think of off the top of my head. This year I plan to continue volunteering at the not for profit theater program, taking the college classes if I get in to the College Now summer program, and working weekends if I have time and find a job.</p>
<p>If anyone has any suggestions for schools that I could look in to, I would gladly appreciate it. I would like to attend at school preferably located in the east coast, but I can settle for major cities else where in the country, urban/suburban setting, a plus if it's near NYC (home! <3).</p>
