<p>Hi! I'm from Brazil, but I go to an American school here.</p>
<p>Grades/Scores:
My school has a 100% scale. My weighted GPA is a 92.99, and unweighted, a 92.58. My grades have gone up since freshman year (91 to a 94), and my average so far in my senior year is 98, so if I keep it up, it'll go to about a 93.9 unweighted, 94 weighted. I spent a semester in Switzerland and my average there was an A.
I got a 2120 on SAT's, (710CR, 660M, 760W), super scored 2150 (730CR). I'm taking Math 2 and Literature tomorrow.</p>
<p>APs:
I took AP Language and got a 4, one semester of AP European and got a 3 (it was not offered at my school). I'm currently taking AP Calculus AB, AP Physics and AP Literature, as well as an online course on Engineering Design, and plan to take online courses on Green Design and also on AP Spanish.</p>
<p>E/C:
I am a cheerleader since the 2nd grade. I take a translating course to be a certified Portuguese-English translator. Junior year I was in MUN and in a service learning group for one semester. I will be joining MUN again next semester. I was freshman class rep, sophomore class president, and am currently senior class president. I also take Spanish and Italian classes.</p>
<p>I went to a summer program at UM and started building my portfolio there. I don't take Art because it doesn't fit my schedule. I took one semester of an Architecture class and one semester of Art, so I work on my portfolio on my own.</p>
<p>I'm applying for the Architecture programs at University of Miami (safety), University of Southern California, Southern California Institute of Architecture, Pratt Institute (targets), Cornell (reach) and Princeton (far reach). </p>
<p>I'm concerned with the fact I have barely any Service Learning hours, a relatively low Math score, and my portfolio will be inevitably much weaker than other applicants'. Is it too late to join a Service Learning group? And how important is my portfolio? It's hard for me because although many people at my school study in the US, no one has gone into Architecture. I also have no work experience, because in Brazil, people only start working once they're in college. I'm freaking out, and don't know what else I can do since it's already November.</p>
<p>Thank you for the help and sorry for writing so much!</p>
