I am a rising senior and have included activities I plan on getting involved with and courses I plan on taking. I have yet to take any SAT subject tests and have taken the SAT twice. The score below is that of my first try, as the results of the most recent test have not been released.
I transferred schools in the middle of high school (from China to the U.S.), so I didn’t have a chance to get involved in certain activities for all 4 years of my academic career.
