I am a high school student in New York and have a huge interest in international relations and am planning to apply to:
- Georgetown (ik this is a huge reach)

AP English Language and Composition: 5
AP US History: 5

My GPA is a 3.4. My grades in foreign language, history, and english have always been extremely high. My science has been above average but not stupendous. My math grade has been abysmal which is what really weighed my grades down (I usually waver between 70’s and a low 80) I’ve taken calculus and did average on it (81).
I’ve taken a few college courses (couple of days every semester) that local universities have offered on human rights, political science, and international relations.
I’ve written for the school newspaper. I have started a chapter of this anti-genocide organization in my school and am President (2 years). I have been Vice President and am President of my school’s Amnesty International chapter (3 years) and I also do Model UN and have won a few awards at national conferences. (3 years)
I have also volunteered for this national student anti-genocide organization, producing weekly news reports (2 years), and have taught myself Arabic to a conversational level (worked on it for 3 years) as well as achieved fluency in French.
