<p>I know it' early, not having taken any standardized tests or AP classes yet, but I would appreciate some opinions/criticism on my high school career so far.</p>
<p>-3.97 GPA unweighted.
-5.77 GPA weighted.
-(honors = A / 6.00, academic = A / 5.00)
-have taken all honors classes, but school requires electives which are only available for academic credit. Meaning my weighted GPA has always been dragged down by a course like gym or art. Also I would be in AP Bio this year but my school kicked me out of the class due to scheduling conflicts.</p>
<p>-Varsity Track & Field (2 years)
-State finalist in sprinting
-Starting Varsity soccer this year, JV last year.
-Team was state runner up
-I also alpine ski, cross country ski, snowboard, snowshoe, hike, trail run, rock climb, mountain bike, surf, windsurf, sail, wakeboard, water-ski, canoe, swim, bike, skate, slack line, any other sport you can think of, I've most likely tried it.</p>
<p>-Trumpet (5 years) regional & jazz band member
-Also play guitar, drums, sax, and believe it or not: a little flute.
-co-founded a "music-for-kids" program where a group of friends and I taught music reading and playing to kids who otherwise would not have had the opportunity, whether it be economic reasons or a lack of school opportunities.</p>
<p>-Am fluent in Spanish, and have been to puerto rico most every summer of my life because of family. (not just as a snobby tourist, but real puerto rico, bad parts included.)
-have shadowed for 24 + hours at local hospital. Established great connections with many different medical personnel at the hospital including attending surgeons and PA's and hope to someday pursue a medical career. -have loved time there. Got to sit in on various surgeries.</p>
<p>-How well do you all think I would fare against the thousands of other equally well qualified students applying?</p>
