Thank you for taking the time to read my message!
I am currently a Junior in a Top 20 NJ high school. My GPA is a 3.8, though this year I intend to bring it up. Since freshman year, I’ve taken honors English, history, and math courses. This year I am in AP US History II and plan on receiving a 4 or 5 on my exam. I have taken the SAT only once and received an 1800, though this score will improve. I hope to pass the 2000 mark. I plan on applying to Ithaca EA!

Summer:

This past summer I journeyed to Nicaragua for a social action group through Yale. We not only learned about the country’s rich history, but we also also did community service in a small village. I worked for an AIDS outreach organization for three weeks. During this time I went to a state penitentiary and visited with AIDS-stricken prisoners. Among various things, I was on the state radio talking about my experience and how to fight AIDS.
