Hey guys! I was just wondering if I had a chance to get in in BC!
I'm a junior
Class rank as of completed sophmore year: 16/647
GPA: 5.2870

Freshman year- English H, Biology H, Geography H, Geometry H, Spanish I on-level (not offered honors), Theatre I, Speech and Health

Sophmore year- English II H, Chemistry H, World History H, Algebra II H, Spanish II Honors, Theatre II, BCIS (technology credit)

Senior year- ?

I was also in StuCo freshman year and currently in Spanish Honors Society and National Honors Society. I enjoy cooking and trying new foods, acting, writing, making movies, hanging out with friends,going to new places, and trying to implement anything vintage in my life (clothes, music, etc). I also dance 5/7 days (20+ hours a week) in a ballet company.

Thanks for helping me out!

leaping - Your commitment to ballet is certainly interesting, and shows a passion for something outside of academics. Can you elaborate more on your ballet training? summer intensive programs? performances? auditions? competitions? special recognition? I would definitely recommend you stress that over "cooking and trying new foods, acting, writing, making movies, hanging out with friends,going to new places, and trying to implement anything vintage in my life (clothes, music, etc)."

Have you done any type of meaningful community service? Aside from being a teacher's aide, do you hold any leadership roles in or out of school?

As for scholastics, I don't quite understand the GPA. Even if it's weighted, a 5.2870 seems unusual. What kind of a scale is it on? Did you take the PSAT's in your sophomore year?
