<p>Sophmore year at the moment.
I have a 3.92 GPA unweighted including frosh soph combined.
A 4.17 GPA weighted.
Extracurriculars:
Job: teaching at kumon
Volunteering at the hospital on weekends
Summer: Paid Internship at the lab of Shinya Yamanaka at UCSF
Summer: traveled to china to teach English as a volunteer.
And Taekwondo… { a few things to say about this one: I am very passionate about this sport as I am with science and medicine. I know a lot of people think martial arts is just a bunch of crazy people yelling then punching kicking and jumping at eachother, but it really is more than that. I have a national championship title and a state championship title as well. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get on to the junior or senior national teams yet, but it’s become my dream to. Eventually I plan on becoming internationally ranked ( even if only t-180 or something). My question is, will this help me get into college? I will pursue my dream regardless but I have always wondered. I’m also planning on doing cross country at the recommendation of my school’s XC coach.</p>
<p>Classes planned for next year (evaluate the “doability”):
AP Biology
AP Physics
AP US
AP Calculus AB
AP Statistics
English 3
Spanish 3</p>
<p>My goal is ATLEAST Berkeley and I dream of Stanford. (Chance me :)) I prefer not to go out of my wonderful state of California although I would make an exception to Texas.</p>
