I go to a California community college, and I’ll be applying this fall with a GPA between 3.85 and 3.92.
My intended major is comparative literature, with a focus on Latin American and English literature. I will have completed relevant English and foreign language courses, as well as the IGETC classes.
I will have completed at least two honors courses (potentially 3-4 if Spring of the admission year counts for anything).
I speak fluent Spanish, which I learned by taking classes and living and traveling for a total of about two years throughout 13 Latin American and Caribbean countries. I have studied, volunteered, traveled independently, and held a competitive summer job during my time abroad.
I learned Portuguese independently, in part by traveling in Brazil. I plan to get certification in both foreign languages.
I am an oil painter, and I will be entering my paintings in some art shows and competitions this summer.
I have a lot of volunteer experience from high school, including being the president of a volunteer club and spending 7 weeks in rural Nicaragua.
I have some 4s and 5s from high school AP tests.
My concerns:
In my first two semesters, I received one F, one D, and one W (I retook them with As), though I was never put on academic probation.
Though I’ve taken honors courses, I won’t have time to complete enough to complete an honors program.
I haven’t been involved in any school clubs or events.
I know this is a lot of info; I appreciate any response!
