<p>Junior Year
Beginning in the first semester of 11th grade, I took a full course load as a dual-enrollment student at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities. Because of a few university language courses I had taken in 9th and 10th grade (explained in detail in Extracurricular Activities), I had already completed one semester (~15 cr) before beginning dual enrollment.</p>

CHIC 1112 Introduction to Chicana/o Studies: Critical Paradigms (3 cr) B+/A-
SPAN 3107W Introduction to the Study of Spanish Linguistics (3 cr) A-/A-

<p>Senior Year
Next year I should be taking a similar course load, probably without any raw math or science classes.</p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.925
Pending College GPA: 3.55</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities
My ECs reflect the fact that I was only actually in HS in 9th and 10th grade. :/</p>
<p>Badminton
Played on the school badminton team in 9th and 10th grade. JV both years. Singles City Champion, 10th grade. State qualifier.</p>
<p>Speech and Debate
Registered National Forensics League member, active in 9th and 10th grade. 9th place in State Debate Tournament in 9th grade, 3rd in 10th grade. Mid-level NFL recognition (about 300 points).</p>
<p>Volunteering
Approximately 400 hours of community service between 9th and 10th grade. I volunteered in the school library and at a local hospital.</p>
<p>College Courses
9th grade: 5 credit UMN Hebrew 1001 course. Summer before 10th grade: 5 credit intermediate Spanish course. 10th grade: 5 credit UMN Hebrew 1002 course. (Credits go towards a U of M degree; grades do not)
*****This is also the reason why I skipped Spanish IV in high school.</p>
<p>Standardized Tests
9th grade SAT score: 1750
10th grade PLAN (Pre-ACT) score range: 28-32
10th grade PSAT score: 199
