<p>here is basic stuff:
-Female, Costa Rican, from Manhattan (will not need financial aid) (parents didn't go to college)</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I go to an extremely competitive,prestigious private school that I know carries a lot of weight at many colleges. My school does not calculate GPA, nor do we have any type of advanced classes. Our grades are by letter only. We also never give out A+, very rarely A's.</p></li>
<li><p>My grades junior year have been:
1 A-, 3 B+, 2 B, 1 C+ (first semester)
second semester: 2 A-, 2 B+, 2 B, 1 B-</p></li>
<li><p>My 1st semester senior classes:</p></li>
<li><p>Spanish VI, PreCalc, Physics, Economics (history class), South American Lit., Arabic (independent study), Social Justice (ethics course)</p></li>
<li><p>I've done 120 hours of community service so far</p></li>
<li><p>I've worked for two years with a non-profit organization, planning (successful) charity events for it with a small group of friends</p></li>
<li><p>Started a club at my school in connection with the organization</p></li>
<li><p>Write for the school newspaper</p></li>
<li><p>Avid member of enviornmental club</p></li>
<li><p>I have participated in Model UN at Yale for the past 2 years</p></li>
<li><p>I have an AGI internship this summer</p></li>
<li><p>I've done a lot of other EC's but nothing major like these. The things I have listed are the EC's I'm really passionate about</p></li>
</ul>

<p>SAT scores:
1940 (first time)
Verbal-680 Math- 620 Writing- 640, I didn't study the first time, I got a tutor for when I take it in October so I'm hoping for about 200 points greater.
Sat II 2C: 720.</p>

<p>Haven't taken ACT or the other two SAT II's yet.</p>

<p>bump bump
please help</p>

<p>Does your school rank? If it does, and you have an idea of where you stand, that would be very helpful, because you're grades look pretty unspectacular (though certainly not terrible!), but you say that your school grades very harshly, so that could be a mitigating factor.</p>

<p>My school does not rank.
Usually A- is about as high as people get, to get an A you really have to ace every single test/essay/quiz/teachers must like you/you must participate a lot. </p>

<p>I would say my grades hover around average/above average for my school.</p>
