* At my school, my course load is considered very demanding. Also, very few students take AP courses due to the requirements such as a 90 average, essay and interview and due to the fact that they are extremely challenging and very few people earn UW A’s.
* Also, by the time I graduate high school, I will graduate with 7 years of foreign language which exceeds the 5 year requirement, and is rare in my school, must people do 5.

Unweighted: 3.0
Weighted: I am not sure, probably like a 3.3
Rank: 52/90, low rank due to hard schedule and the fact that I slacked off.

EC’s
Varsity Soccer - 9-12, lettered my junior year.
Varsity Softball - 9-12,Captain, lettered as freshman, I pitch and broke my school’s record of most strike outs, most consecutive innings/games pitched and most wins. I am not sure if I am good enough to play division 1 but I am definitely able to play division 2 and 3. I also have been contacted by the softball coach at Skidmore.
Clubs - Gaelic Society 11,12.
French Club 10-12, president
SEEK - 9-12.
Song Contest Lyrics committee - 10-12.
Tutoring - 10, 11, 12 in history and French 2-3x a week.
Italian Society - 12
Coat Drive

Jobs:
Sophmore Year and Junior Year, I was a camp counselor at a camp in CT, for 2 months.
I am a certified lifeguard as well.
I helped coach a youth softball team last spring.

Teacher Recommendations = Excellent, French teacher said one of the best they’ve encountered in their career, AP U.S. teacher said one of the best students as well.

I would like to double major in international relations with a concentration in politics and philosophy. Also, maybe minor in Art History.

Your chances look great. You are probably in line for an academic scholarship, although in your case a scholarship of any kind may not matter to you.

I'm a Clarkie, and I think you sound like you could fit here. We tend to have a lot of 'B' students with a lot of personality, EC, and drive.

Good luck!

Definitely looks like a match. Make sure you visit the campus before you decide to go to Clark.
