Hi,
I am currently a junior in high school and really want to better my resume as I finally figured out the career I would like to take recently. These last two years of high school, I was utterly convinced I wanted to major in theatre for whatever reason, and now I have finally decided I would rather pursue International Relations. I am looking at Barnard, NYU, Boston University and American, but as of now those are my tops. I was wondering what I could do extra curricular wise to stand out to both. What can I add/remove/improve upon? Below are my stats.
Hispanic Immigrant Female
40-50k income
SAT: do not know if I should take or not, considering I would like to go out East (from the midwest)
ACT: 26 (did not study and took beginning of sophomore year, going into it again with classes and prep so fear not)
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.85
Extracurriculars:
Plan on starting both a GirlUp chapter and Care chapter in my high school, both approved by administration
Model UN
Environment Club
Diversity Club
Sexual Assault Awareness Club
Volunteer Outreach Club
Drama/Thespians
Fall Musical Lead and Spring play lead
Improv Comedy Captain
School Newspaper
Link Crew Leader
Volunteer at a Multicultural center
Selected for my county’s rape crisis center as a Youth Leader for creating positive change and eliminating rape culture
Intern in my local Town Hall
(None of these clubs have a particular leadership role associated with as they are all usually led by teachers)
Freshman year: advanced biology, Honors English
Sophomore year: one year advanced math and chemistry, honors english
Junior: Honors Physics, Honors English, A.P U.S History, A.P Psychology
I also take French classes at a local university (U.W Madison) and plan to study Russian next summer with Rotary.
