I have paid no attention to the American system…until now. I have had my eyes set on applying to Australia but it would mean a 6 month gap before i start college. I would like to go to a school in the states for 6 months and transfer to an Australian college.

I am an Australian living in London and i go to an American international school. My GPA is ordinary-3.4UW (no transcripts for Australian acceptance) My SAT score is a 2110. I was on Varsity swimming for 9th,10th, and 12th and golf for 9th. (I didnt swim junior year as i was concentrating on SAT’s for Australia). I will have done 5 AP’s by the end of Senior year…I recieved two 4’s on the econ AP’s this year. My school is VERY competitive, top international school in England, we have a great rep in the states…

I repaired computers for a couple years, had a little business going in importing, im going to be on the Bank of England interest rates competition team this year, i did an internship at Deutsche bank for a month last summer… I’m an Honor Roll student…

I have played the clarinet for around 10 years now, tour with the school band…Im on the wind ensemble, jazz band, symphonic band and play in the orchestra from time to time.

I would like to go to a school on the West Coast (any tuition), which one would you recommend i go to?

thanks
Justin
