<p>I will be a senior this year. I am an IB Diploma candidate. My GPA was 3.5 at the end of my junior year. I attended a Montessori school in 9th grade where I had a 4.0 but some family/domestic issues led to my GPA dropping a little once I began attending the public high school I am at now. I am planning on my counselor including a note addressing this.</p>
<p>SATs: 730 CR 630 Math 770 Writing, taking SAT IIs in French and Literature in a couple months.</p>
<p>I have mentored students at a school for homeless kids since junior year. I have babysat for many years. I have fenced since the 9th grade. I am interested in French and have volunteered at my local Alliance Francaise this summer. I expect excellent teacher recommendations and essays.</p>
