<p>I volunteered at a nursing home in India the summer of 2009 and this year I am going back to India to volunteer and raise funds for the nursing home again. I am also gonna intern at a medical center in India.
My unweighted gpa is a 3.7-3.8 and I will have taken 10-11 APs by the end of high school
JV Lacrosse and Varsity Lacrosse, Varsity Tennis, Treasurer of American Field Service club, working on publishing a novel, skipped a level at my dance school despite an arm disability I have had since birth (my teacher NEVER promotes people). I am a first generation college student. 2350 SAT. Interned at a local hospital last summer. Working on lining up two internships for the rest of the year this year. One at a cancer institute other at a radiology lab. Do I have chances for EARLY DECISION this upcoming fall? Will my out-of-country volunteering help me? ALSO: my grades have dramatically increase this year (my junior year)</p>
<p>This is just my opinion, but what is your reason for going overseas truthfully? I do not prefer this type of volunteering because there is so much one can do within the country. Unless you have some sort relation with another country. </p>
<p>Your stats are good and gpa could always be raised (if possible) but you need to find what is important to you and let that come through in your app. </p>
<p>That’s just my take. Maybe an admissions officer will be impressed if you show true interest. Or he or she will be skeptical, since volunteering overseas is not too rare. </p>

<p>I volunteer in my hometown in many places as well, however as India is my mother country, I volunteer there too</p>
