Hello,
I’m the first in my family to attend college and I just received my report card for my entire junior year of high school. At first impression I have a lot courses because I’m part of a rigorous and prestigious STEM Program, where I’m taking classes in a university. As of right now it follows as:
1st semester} Princ of Tech (Engineering Course) (University): A
2nd semester} Princ of Tech (I think this is my innovations class which is also engineering)(University): A
1st and 2nd semester} Intro to Research (University): A
2nd semester} Latin III (I toke it second semester online because I could only take 2 classes at base school and I needed this to graduate next year) : A
1st semester} Precalcus (University): A
2nd semester} MATH 123 Calculus 1 Part A (University): A
1st semester} BIOL 103 General Biology I (University): B+
1st semester} BIOL 103 LAB (University): B+
2nd semester} Gen’t Bio I (University): C+
(Both Gen’t Bio I and II are technically my Biology II class)
2nd semester} Gen’t Bio II (University): C+
1st and 2nd semester} AP Lang & Comp (Base School): B+
1st and 2nd semester} Regular US History (Base School): C
GPA: 4.07
What I plan offer over the summer:
Online classes:
US Government: A
Econ and Finance: A
As you can see, I have three C’s in my report class which are Gen’t Bio and US History. I’ve taken Gen’t Bio I and Bio II (technically it is Biology II) at the same time as I was taking Latin III online so it was hard for me to manage the courses such as History because I needed this class to graduate. I’m at a concern because of the major that I will be majoring in especially since it is science.
However, I’m planning to take my history class (to get it over with and let colleges see that I’m progressing) and economics and finance (to graduate) online. I’m taking these classes online over the summer so that I would be less stress in my senior year. I hope that colleges that I would like to go to like John Hopkins and Georgia Tech would see my senior grades as improvement from last year because I don’t have as much heavily course work.
By that, I mean that I’m still taking challenging classes which are AP Literature and AP Psychology at base school. In my STEM Program, I’m a biology strand student so I would be taking Human Anatomy (1st semester) and Microbiology (2nd semester). As electives, I would be taking Computer Programming I in first semester and Computer Programming II in second semester. Below is my extracurricular and awards:
For class rank, I’m in the above half so (above 50).
For extra curricular activities,
- I’m currently the secretary in Latin Honors Society (I have 13 hours of service) National Honors Society (I have over 15 hours of service)
- Volunteer at a Hospital for 3 hours on Sunday
- I plan to volunteer in a my nearby park. But I would volunteer in the summer.
- I was the coloring committee head for Key Club in 9th-10th grade
- I was a school representative in DCON (District Convention) and Kiwanis Camp for Key Club in 9th grade.
- I was the lead designer and builder in Robotics Club from 9th - 11th grade. For Awards and Honors,
- I was awards with special congressional recognition for my art work on water as well as an award of merit from my county’s arts festival
- My team’s engineering project was accepted for the Virginia Tech Summit (Acceptance rate was 25%)
- I have a Cybersecurity Certificate from another high school
- I have a Biomedical Imaging Certificate from the University of Queensland in Australia
(Just in case) For Communication,
Latin, Skilled
Spanish, Fluent
English, Fluent
Korean, Conversational
Thank you if you read through this whole message because I’m really concerned of my chances getting into my dream universities.
