<p>¥^_^¥Hi, I am an international junior student currently studying in US high school who is considering applying for Amherst’s Early Decision.</p>
<p>I’ve studied at 4 high schools with distinct educational system so my GPA and grades are not stable and not at all impressive >. <. I was top one in my class in ninth grade in my first school; top one in 10th grade fall semester in my second school, top 10% in 10th grade and my GPA was 3.68 in my third school; then I transferred to US and my GPA was 3.77, class rank top 25% in my fourth school (because I was out of school for two month due to my VISA delay; now my GPA is 4.38 (due to restriction on course selection). I believe I can achieve a GPA of 4.93 during 12th grade fall assuming that I don’t transfer again.</p>
<p>My SAT score is 2340. My math level 2 and physics subject test are both 800s.
I am positive that I will get 5s on CalculusBC, PhysicsC mechanics and E&M, Art History, Macroeconomy and English Language.</p>
<p>I was the secretary of student parliament in my former school; I have initiated Mu Alpha Theta in my school and is the president; I am also in Art Appreciation Club and National Art Honor Society; I have had apprenticeship in an well known Architecture Design company and have attended architecture design workshop for 2 years; I intend to join Peer Tutoring next year. I will be competing in. PhysicsBowl2 soon and AMC12 next year though I have no idea how I will do. I am applying for Women’s Technology Program, yet once again I have no idea if I could get in or not.</p>
<p>I extremely want to major in Architecture Design and I have prior experience using Sketch Up Pro. 8, AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. I am adept at drawing and sketching and are somewhat acquainted with Architecture History and principles of architectural design. I would say that I am pretty passionate about architecture.</p>
<p>I have no Olympiads or any awards of such kind because I never had the opportunity to attend in these competition (though I hope I could do well in PhysicsBowl and AMC12) and, I have to admit, my GPA looks terrible. However, I have learned multivariable calculus and linear algebra and I know how to use MATLAB and Mathematica and JAVA.</p>
<p>So…what do you think? Please tell me. And feel free to post if you are also a potential applicant like me~~ I would love to know how everyone else is doing~ Thank You ^_^</p>
