<p>GPA: 4.05-4.25 <a href="out%20of%20possible%205">i</a>*
I'm a 10th grader in Turkey, our school classes are extremely tough and challenging compared to US ones<a href="we%20have%20quantum%5Bs,p,d,f%20orbit%20stuff%20mostly%20and%20some%20calculations%5D,%20difusion%20of%20gasses,%20hybridization,%203rd%20level%20equations%20with%202%20unknowns,%20derivative,%20integral..">i</a>. Althought quality of education may not be better than most American schools but difficulity is definitly higher. We don't use American GPA system and therefore I'm not familiar with US GPA system so I didn't convert it. Our scores are weighted by hours of the course and in my case, Math, Physics, Chemisty, Biology and Foreign Language have the most weight and our score system is based on percents, my actual GPA is around *%81-%89** in our system. Althought our foreign language courses are no where near good but I think my TOEFL scores will cover that leak.</p>
<p>AP/IB/honors courses: There are no such classes here unfortunatly :/ If there were, I'd take but well..</p>
<p>Class Rank/Size: I'm not sure about the size but its around 250-300. I'll be in the %10-%20 in my school. At the time I entered my high school, you had to be in the first %2-%4 in whole country according to OKS(an exam thats made to compare students for High School entrance) scores..</p>
<p>SAT scores: I haven't taken any real SATs but I've took some example tests and solved old ones. I'm expecting around 800-750 most likely 800 in Math, 500 in Critical Reading and 550 in Writing in the actual one. I know that those scores are probably not enough for Berkeley, UCLA and Stanford but the main reasons about my scores in Reading and Writing are low for those schools are that our school's foreign language education is not the best even in the local area and I'm not raised in an English/American culture therefore I don't have a full knowladge of words(althought I know way more when compared to students in our school even 12th graders) especially terms. I hope that my TOEFL scores(expecting around 90-110 in iBT) will cover that area :/
Its most likely that by middle of 11th grade my SAT Writing will be around 650-700 and Reading around 600.</p>
<p>ECs:
-MUNTR 2010, Delegate of Bulgaria
I represented Bulgaria in Model United Nations Turkey 2010 and have a certiface of participation. It isn't just a local MUN simulation but also international, there were lots of people from local area and also Europe and Canada. I'm intending to attend next year's MUN too but our school doesn't have much understanding for extracurricular activities and will probably disclose the local/school MUN society/club and therefore we won't be able to apply as a group however I'll still apply individually with school or not. In case the society doesn't get shut down, I'll be the Head Delegate of our school and also President of our school's MUN society.
-AIESEC
I've pariticipated AIESEC Turkey's Myself My World project in Izmir. It was like a course with interns coming from mostly european countries and US and teaching us leadership, time management, team work etc..
-Scout
I became part of a Scout unit in our school at start of 10th grade, we made a trip to Sipil Mountain thats in a province next to us. There isn't much I can say about this one because it lasted short especially because our school system kinda doesn't let such stuff to live for a long time. :/</p>
<p>I think I'm weak in ECs compared to most other folks that are applying for those schools :/</p>
<p>Honors/Awards:
-Appreciation Certificates
I've received Appreciation Certificates from our school, at 9th Grade 1st and 2nd semesters and also at 10th Grade 1st semester. I'll probably get Admiration Certificate this semester. If I continue so I'll keep getting Appreciation or Admiration Ceritifcates each semester. I'm not sure is there such an equivalent certificate/document in US high schools but let me explain how it works here. If your class points are between %70-84, you get an Appreciation Certificate, and if your class points are between %85-100, you get an Admiration Certificate.
-Letter of Recommendations
I've a Letter of Recommendation from Acclaim for a translation job I've done between 8th and 9th grade, I'm not sure it counts as it took part mostly in 8th grade's last semester.
Also about letter of recommendations/evaluations from my school teachers, they do have very positive ideas about me and therefore I'll have good evaluations I think.</p>
<p>Essays: I'm not sure about quality of my essays when compared to US students(its most likely that my essays won't be better than most of US students as it isn't my native language) but my writings are best in our school.</p>
<p>Additional Information:I'm interested in Aerospace Engineering programs mostly. I think I've wrote everything about myself.</p>
