Hey everyone. So I really like the core at columbia college and it really fits my school's curriculum, so I think it'd be a really cool school for me. I would want to major in econ with a minor in spanish literature. any opinions would be great!

ACT: 27. I don't really know what happened, but this is my score and I doubt i'll have time to retake with my schedule.
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0):3.8

AP: French, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, Chemistry, Calculus
IB (place score in parenthesis):Full IB <---death. School that does the IB program won very prestigious award for international focus.

Senior Year Course Load:
@ High School :
AP Spanish
AP Chemistry
AP Calculus
AP/IB Spanish Literature
IB Lit
IB History
IB theory of knowledge
IB Projects
@ College
International Economics
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): none

Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):

Varsity Tennis (captain), Varsity Soccer ( captain), ASB President, NHS, Drama( costumes), EIHS President ( the IB school, that won goldman sach's award for international focus, inside of my school, i can explain if I need to), on the YAT which is a group of students on the board of education for my state. we are advisors for the superintendent.

Job/Work Experience: None

Volunteer/Community service: Over 150 hours, 100 in spanish by senior year. I started and lead a group that goes around my city and helps hispanics that are having trouble with school because of a language barrier and tutor them one on one. By the end of senior year, i would guess that I would have 200+

I strongly suggest that you take the ACT again

theory of knowledge is not a subject. its a core requirement. !!!!!!!

hopeful2b_yank3e

oh.
my bad.

pbr

If you can, you might consider taking the SAT. Some folks score materially better on one test over the other.

I plan on taking the october ACT and the SAT in november. Hopefully I do well enough to be a competitive applicant. thanks for the recommendation pbr

well, i did the full IB, six subjects, all core requirements and got my diploma (woohoo)
lol. and yes, it is death. i did the SAT too, you should try it, once you figure it out, its predictable.
