Hi everyone! I am a junior at my school of roughly 700 people. I'm an Indian born in America. I am in the top one percent of my class with a cumulative gpa of a 4.17(roughly a 3.78 with on a 4.0 scale). My Sat Math is 750, Sat Critical Reading of 650, and Sat Writing of 650. I have an ACT of english 33, math 34, reading 31, and science 36. I've taken the writing portion and I have gotten a 31 composite on THAT score. I have taken over 10 AP courses, and I have also taken summer classes at the local college with mostly A's and two high B's. I have been number one on the tennis team for the past 3 years and hopefully I will keep my spot (the number 2 on our team is catching up to me!). I did cross country in the ninth grade. I am in both National Honors Society and Beta Club. I have done numerous volunteer hours in various subjects ranging from parent teacher conference helper to fourth grade quiz bowl team coach. I am planning on volunteering at the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock this summer as well attending Arkansas Governor School (a program similar to that of Duke Tip). I have also been out of the country to Europe and India so I have experienced many places! I am currently in AP Language where we have to write essays and my lowest essay score has been a 5 and my highest a 9 with a mean of a 7(on a scale of 1 to 9) I took AP Calculus in the ninth grade and received a 5 on the AP exam. I have placed in the math competition all four years I have done it. I plan on retaking the ACT with writing soon, and hopefully I can get a 32 or above. I am a dedicated hard-working student who is willing to put for the effort to go the extra mile. I personally am interested in Columbia because of the individuality it offers as well as the Core(a series of courses you must take). Thanks so much!!... Read More »
