<p>im an asian american [hmong to be exact. err. aka mountain tribe] female from florida</p>
<p>3.8 unweighted, 4.2 or 4.3 weighted, i think?</p>
<p>sat1- CR=740 M=730 W=770</p>
<p>taken ap world hist, ap american hist, ap lit</p>
<p>now taking ap calc, ap psyc, ap lang, ap macro and micro, ap gov, ap comparative gov</p>
<p>ive taken as many aps as i can for what my school offers, for the grade that i was in</p>
<p>i was born in california, lived there 14 years. freshman year i started hs there then moved to south carolina. went to two diff hs there. so during my freshman year i moved to 3 diff high schools</p>
<p>sophomore yr started school in sc. then moved to florida. went to two diff hs</p>
<p>got sick junior yr = hospitalized during christmas-ish winter. down for a month n a halfish. grades got bad. doing grade forgiveness.</p>
<p>taken the most rigorous course schedule. out of our whole class, maybe only 4 or 5 kids have taken these classes</p>
<p>come from a low income family. first generation college kid, if that makes a difference. </p>
<p>no spectacular EC's</p>
<p>moved around a lot so couldn't really root myself anywhere, esp freshman yr</p>
<p>sophmore yr: spanish club, did this thing with my Interact Club...called Home Works. it's an Extreme Makeover: Home edition type thing, minus all the glam. volunteered for Salvation Army</p>
<p>junior yr: FEA [future educators of Am], tutoring</p>
<p>senior yr: FEA-vice pres, HOSA</p>
<p>anyway the thing is, throughout is. through my high school career. i don't know how much it counts, but there were definitely ups and low low low looow downs. we moved 'like crazy' [the best way to describe it] because my uncle [who i was close to] was murdered. that created quite a disequilibrium for a while. lots of stuff happening, lots of, for the lack of a better word, issues, lots of learning and growing and delving deep, deep into trying to sort things out. like life. family. myself. my culture. and at the same time, school.</p>
<p>the oldest of 4. stuck to babysit. and lead. been helping my mom sell things at the flea market [not a pretty job] every weekend now for a year. don't get paid. </p>
<p>my passion: writing and helping people</p>
<p>long stories as to why, but the main thing is that those passions have been and are being persued. with vigor and whatnot.</p>
<p>i think covered most of everything. yeah...</p>
<p>im pretty sure Stanford recalculates GPA's and i really don't know how high mine will be. i messed up my junior year. however, by dec 15, my senior grades for several classes will be in... that's just how my school is [we have block schedule]. will that be calculated too?? jw</p>
<p>retaking SAT in oct... hopefully higher scores. </p>
<p>anyway</p>
<p>would i have a chance?</p>
<p>i can probably pull off good essays, get good reccs, but it's my grades and lack of ECs that will hurt my application</p>
<p>be honest. if i don't have a chance, tell me straight up. i don't need false hope and i don't need to be delusional.</p>
