Hello I am a senior and I just ED to Barnard. Here is a little bit about myself
I have a 88.7 GPA, I have had GPA in the 90’s but in junior year I was diagnosed with major depression but thankfully I recovered from that - my guidance counselor acknowledged that in the writing recommendation. I have took a total of 7 AP courses and 3 college prep courses I have always took honors courses and electives as well.
My SAT SCORE: 1250
Besides the numbers, my extra curricular are
Volunteered in a gynecology unit
Volunteered in a nursing home
Every summer I have a research internship where I work on a project and collect data. I usually take a huge role in this projects by managing and communicating with patients.
I do this little small program in where my dad works where I help non-native English speakers adults, understand the language more, its a program I created and a lot of people began to volunteer here.

Why Barnard?
I wrote about how I loved Barnard gave every women the opportunity to take leadership in the community and also I highlighted about some internships I would like to do.
Choose a woman in history and explain why you would have a convo with them?
I talked about Princess Diana and mentioned how I amazed I was by her to go beyond the UK boundaries to make a change in people’s lives, I mentioned her bravery in trying to get rid of landmines and asked what she would do with the global refugee crisis.
My essay was about an internship I had in a hospital in Nepal, which pushed me to become more interested in global health medicine.
My letter of recs:
