<p>Here are my stats: </p>
<p>I know my GPA isn't the highest thing that I could get, but I'm not particularly driven in terms of school. I'm more of an extra-curricular person. I'm interested in majoring in international law! </p>
<p>Weighted GPA (Junior right now): 4.34 </p>
<p>SATs: 2310/2400; Reading: 770, Math: 750, Writing: 790 (only took once in October)</p>
<p>Planning on taking ACTs later & PSATs were top 98%</p>
<p>Leadership Positions:
-Vice President of Class freshman year
-Secretary for two years in Leo Club (international volunteering organization)
-President of Leo Club
-Editor of school newspaper for three years (counting my position for next year)
-Managing Editor of School Paper
-Vice President of School MUN Team (ranked third in the nation)</p>
<p>Extra-Curriculars:
-qualified for International Competition for Future Problem Solving this year (actually at the competition site right now! wish me luck! hehe)
-interned at the District Office of my State's congressman
-will be interning over the summer at the Supreme Court in Taiwan; job will be corresponding with American government over Taiwanese policy on things like human rights, etc. (very excited for this one! will this help my application?)
-won Best Delegate at two MUN conferences this year: Cornell Model United Nations Conference & North American Invitational Model United Nations Conference (hosted at Georgetown, but was considered international competition)
-received Honorable Delegate this year at Princeton University Model United Nations
-also attended Rutgers University MUN Conference & Washington Area MUN Conference sophomore and freshman year respectively, but didn't get any awards (should I even include this in my application?)
-1st place in my state for scenario writing competition freshman year; was sent to internationals and placed third individually
-2nd place in scenario writing sophomore year; district didn't have enough money to send us to internationals that year :/
-2nd place in the state for Future Problem Solving program in the state sophomore year, but not enough to go to Internationals (another team from same school placed first)
-2nd place in the state for Future Problem Solving program THIS YEAR; will be going to International Competition in Wisconsin in few months to compete (only other team representing our state at internationals; only team in our district to qualify for ICs)
-top 6th pianist in my state for a competition (invited 550 high schools to participate and only chose six pianists); criteria was that players had to be in high school
-semi-finals at tri-state competition where only 10 pianists were selected in my age group out of a total of 100-200 that tried out
-several hundred volunteering hours
-played in Carnegie Hall twice for piano
-invited to DiCapo Opera Theatre to perform for piano but couldn't because of scheduling conflicts
-only student selected to represent my district at the United Nations this year/ act as a liaison for United Nations as well as Lions International
-Spring & Winter Track for freshman and sophomore year (JV); I'm not very athletic and definitely would not be able to beat out people to compete at meets so I could get my varsity letter, so I decided to not do track junior year, because I had such a heavy courseload</p>
<p>Academics:
- AP Courses (to junior year): Chemistry, English Language & Composition, Spanish Language & Composition, and US History </p>
<p>-AP Courses scheduled to take senior year: Calculus AB, American Government, English Literature & Composition, and Spanish Literature & Composition</p>
<p>Other than that, I take all honors. It's not that I'm a pretentious student, it's just that the environment that my school is comprised of is extremely, extremely competitive, and it's common for people to have five/six AP classes per year. The fact that I'm taking four is considered average.</p>
chanced you back. </p>
