Credits taken: 48 credits, will have 63 by the end of this semester. 4 credits from NYU, took a summer class in the psychology department, got an A.

Major applying: Steinhardt - Applied Psychology

HS GPA: Don’t want to mention :frowning: attended three different high schools overseas, all are taught in English. Didn’t get
suspended or kicked out of school, just not happy with the environment :frowning: Graduated HS overseas, but I born in the US, so they would take me as a domestic student. But I studied really hard at CC.

  • (Track team at my CC for a few months, we compete with other schools every week. I’m thinking about to quit, because it is so tiring and hard to focus on my schoolwork, I was tired everyday after training. Used to ran track during high school. I might not put track & field down on my app)
