First off, I’m first generation, and I think this is why I’m really insecure about what I have to offer.
So, I have a 3.8 GPA and an ACT of 25, I’m also the 3rd in my class. I’ve taken a college course in Japanese. I’m in the full IB diploma program.
I’ve been working twenty hours a week for four years now which is why I have very little EC’s. I’ve only been in the art club, book club and NHS.
Because of NHS I plan on doing fourty hours of community service. I’ve also been to an IB world conference.
I don’t really have much to offer after this. I mean, I can say that I’ve been writing since I was five. If I can, I would double major in anthropology and possibly accounting. I also want to minor in Japanese or Creative Writing.
Other plans might be to start up my own little shop selling handmade jewelry. I want to write and publish my series one day.
But yeah…that’s it!
So, am I just beating myself down?
Here are some schools in looking into:
Uni of Wisconsin-Madison
Uni of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Illinois-Champaign
University of Rochester
Miami University (Oxford)
Duke University
Boston University
DePaul University
Um, I’m Hispanic, female and my family of 6 makes 13,000, so money is a huge concern.
