What colleges shall I look at?
I attended a private international school in Shanghai, China for my freshman and sopre years. I had a tough time achieving academic success. The rigor of the high school was exceptionally difficult. In my freshman year I had an average GPA of 1.74. In my sopre year I had an average GPA of 2.35. However, now a junior I’m taking three AP cles, which include: AP US History, AP Economics, and AP English Language. I currently am holding a GPA of 4.3. I took the SAT at the end of my sopre year, and I obtained a score of 2200. My counselor always told me colleges look for an upward grade trend. I know for a fact my grades have only been increasing and will still continue to do so. Although, I have failed to achieve academic success in my first two years of high school, I have learned how to win the formula for success. I have exceptional amounts of extra-curricular that include JV Volleyball Captain, JV Basketball, Varsity Tennis, actor in four drama productions, delegate in the third largest MUN conference in the world and a member of a community service project in China that allowed us to install a water system that provides clean water for over 50 families in China. I also learned how to speak a little bit of Chinese while I lived there. This will be a big advantage for me personally, because I speak a bit Chinese, fluently speak an Indian language, and am almost fluent in Spanish. I want to know what type of schools I should look at. I want to go to a school with a good journalism and business program. Personally, I want to go to a big state school, might think private. Some schools I’m planning on are: University of Washington, University of Texas-Austin, University of Florida, and UNC-Chapel Hill. Thanks!
