My stats are:
~3.85 College GPA after 2 semesters/27 credits, think it will be around the same after this semester in which im taking 15 so ill be up at 42 when applying, and will have another 15 = 57 by the time of transfer. My guess/hope is that my gpa will stay around the same, might be a slight change up or down, but hoping for up, ofcourse.

I have n ‘A’ average HS GPA from Sweden where I am from.

I have NOT taken the SATs/ACTs, which i know might be a problem for some schools, but i know that others dont require you to take that once uve done a certain amount of credits.

I am an international student(from sweden) but I currently go to Hawaii Pacific University. My parents are also from India so I believe my different cultural backgrounds will help for diversity etc.
speak 3 languages fluently.
have traveled A LOT, seen every country in europe, been to asia several times, and seen a lot of US…

Financial aid NOT needed

Dean’s List 3 semesters at current university

A bit of community service, 4 hours/week

Worked last summer at a home for patients with mental retardation, taking care of them etc.

I think one of the strongest parts is my athletic past which I will include in the essays, either small ones or additional information/EC’s

I have played soccer for about 15 years(I’m 19) in Sweden, and there I was offered positions in some of Swedens best private clubs but I had to decline due to moving to the US for 2 years, and I also had a few other offers once I got to the US with teams for boys that were 2 years older than me.
I was also chosen to play for the stockholm team and was a candidate to be able to play for the Swedish Junior National Team but had to back out due to a knee injury which lasted until this summer when i had surgery…
I also played a lot of Tennis in which ive also won many tournaments for example 2 Junior Division tournaments in Dallas as well as getting 2 Best Effort Awards, and a stockholm regional tournament in Sweden where I placed 2nd and others.

lots of other sports like snowboarding and surfing + more

I only have 1 recommendation at the moment, but can get a few more, the one i have is very good, and i can get at least 2 very good ones, and probably 1 or 2 pretty good ones…

basically, i think that some of the things that set me apart are my nationality etc for diversity
my athletics
and i will add some EC’s, thinking of some things that will be good and that interest me

I am applying for PRE MED / BIO

so what do you guys think?
any responses are appreciated!
