currently a junior in China:
SAT1 - 2320 ; Math -800; CR- 740; Writing - 780
SAT2 - MATH2 - 800; Physcis - 800; Chem - 790
GPA : my current school in Beijing does not do GPA, but i am top 5% of my class.
while i was an exchange student in D.C. for a year, i got 3.96 (UW). it was one of the most prestigious private schools in America.
plus i took AP chem and got 5 on the test during the year. (too bad that we don’t have access to APs here in China. )

I was selected by an exchange program in China. the program was trying to select future leaders who can promote cultural exchange and understanding between vastly different countries. it offers scholarships to the best private schools in the states. and i was living with three host families in a foreign country at age 16.
i wrote about my “foreign adventures” on a blog, which is popular among several schools in Beijing.
