<p>Hey guys. Gosh, these posts on chances are making me sad and discourage. </p>
<p>I come from a so-so, not too bad high school. most of the graduates went to local universities, community colleges, and joined the military. My high school offers only 7-8 AP classes. Unfortunately, we don't have much honors and advanced classes as some of you guys do. I provided semester grades in the parentheses. </p>
<p>Here are some minor facts about me:
1st generation
minority (chinese)
situated in Hawaii (does that mean anything??)
GPA: 3.9 on a 4.0 scale ( I usually receive all A's. unfortunately i sort of slacked off during my first semester of my junior year :( but it'll raise back up)
i dropped from being #1 to #6 (it's totally unfair that some students take the easiest classes)
planning to major in international relations </p>

Perhaps during the year I'll take Spanish II at the same local community college from the summer. </p>

I volunteer at a hospital since my sophmore year. I made more than 150 hours. </p>
<p>I was on the Principal's List during my freshman year. I received an award for Japanese.
I guided a bunch of students from Japan around the school (does that count?)
i know my ECs aren't really that spectacular. I'm thinking about getting another volunteer job. </p>
<p>Where should i go with these kinds of stats?
I'm looking for schools that are private. I would like it to be located in CA, WA, OR, MA, NY, or perhaps DC. Actually, anywhere in the East coast or West coast. I haven't taken the SATs, but I'm going to take it on the 12th of March. I have written a college essay few months ago and my English teacher said it was excellent. I might have superb recommendations. </p>
<p>i am actually doing quite well in all of my classes right now :)</p>
