[ b]Objective:[ /b][ list]

(a-e is passing, a u means the exam was failed…capital scores denotes a second year (A Level) in the course)
[ *] Senior Year Course Load: AP Lit, AP Calc AB, AP Physics, AP Euro, AP Drawing, AP Gov, AP Micro
[ *] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Meh I mean I got the thinking skills award and top 2% and stuff like that but nothing outside of school…I got a distinguished secretary rank for Key Club? I now have my AICE diploma which means I am a Cambridge scholar and now have Florida Bright Futures, I have a couple AP designations and am working towards the AP international title.

[ /list][ b]Subjective:[ /b][ list]
[ *] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): I served as a class director and secretary in Key Club between freshman to junior year. In April I was installed as my Division’s Lieutenant Governor (which means I now manage 13 high school’s Key Clubs and attend a multitude of leadership trips/workshops…I love it so much), I have been volunteering in the ER and Trauma Center for nearly two years (such an amazing experience the nurses have taught me so much), will be interning at Cleveland Clinic this summer for rotations (3 weeks), am the coordinator for Palm Beach County Youth Red Crosses and have just started my own chapter in my city, I am the past secretary and now president of National English Honor Society, treasurer of National Art Honor Society, committee chair of Medical Honor Society, and member of NHS. I’m not even gonna list more menial clubs I just joined for fun lol.

[ *] Volunteer/Community service: Oh boy ok my life revolves around Key Club and the Trauma Center where I have volunteered in total of like 700 hours?
[ *] Personal Statement: I am bilingual! Fluent in Turkish as both my parents are from Turkey! My scores suck though so I am really discouraged…I have tried so much tutoring but nothing. I can solve calculus problems but when it comes to basic SAT questions I guess I cannot do it.
