I’m a korean, who have migrated to US about 5 years ago.
I’m a junior in Houston High School at TN.
My GPA is 3.81 for now, but I will bring it up to 3.9. (This is unweighed.)
My Average Grade (Point) is 94.1
Also, I am in a very competitive school, I think my rank is somewhere near 50 out of 600.
I took -

Freshmen- Art, English 9, Biology Honors, Latin I Honors, Geometry Honors, & Wellness
Sophomore - Algebra II Honors, Latin II Honors, Chemistry Honors, Geography, English 10, & Computer- IT Foundation.
Junior (currently taking) - English 11, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP US History, Pre-Calculus Honors, & Computer- OS and Hardware.
Senior year will be something like - AP Physics, AP Calculus, Gov, and blah blah blah… and so on.

My Extra Curriculum is Not very nice, but not bad either.

I write novels and post them online, I currently have about 100 readers. (Will have about 800 by the senior year)
I’ve been playing violin for over 7 years. I am In Memphis Youth Symphony Orchestra (3 years). I played at my church for about 2 years (and helped with sound settings, etc)
I also work at my parent’s store every saturday, and sometimes during the week. I usually buy merchandises, organize them, cook (mostly easy stuff), clean floors, and counter.
My parent’s can’t speak English well. When a truck drove into our store, I had to take care of Insurance and money-related-stuff (God, so frustrating), I had to talk to lawyers and call courts when my mom was charged for not checking ID when selling beer, and Stuff like that (calling phone companies, Apartment- rent problems, Etc)
Also, I was in pride for a year (Drug-free club, had to perform at elementary schools), Student Impact (Christian club), Science Club, & Latin club.
I think I have around 7 hours volunteer at library, but I don’t think that’d make any difference.

I did not take the SAT, but I did take some practice ones, and I think it will be around 2000~2100. ACT will definitely be over 30.

So… Chance Me!

P.S. What does ‘Bump’ Mean?

P.S.(2). Would I be able to get a scholarship from Georgia Tech? I have E-2 Visa, so can’t get financial aid.
