AP Classes I’ve taken/will take: AP Psychology, AP Physics, AP U.S. History, AP Calc

Scores on AP Tests: AP Psychology: 4

I want to double major in Psychology and Film/Television, I’ve taken our Advanced video productions class for about 5 semesters!

Relay for Life (Walked for cancer and volunteered) : 57 hours

Silver Beach Elementary (Helped with the kids and ran errands for the teacher) : 8:15 hours

Hovander Park ( Helped take pictures for Down syndrome Outreach and helped with their picnic) : 4:40 hours

St. Francis Childcare (Helped take the kids on field trips and around the class room) : A little over 50 hours

Rotary Interact (A club at school, help around the community once a month) : 5:30 hours and more to come when the school year starts, I’m Vice President

Cornwall Church (Learned how to operate lights and did it for services) : 11 hours and more to come

I also filmed a short film for my culminating project about Down syndrome and volunteered about 20 hours for that, filming during his physical therapy and at home, and also my editing time.

I also did junior varsity fast pitch freshman year and am in the mentor program this year that meets with incoming freshman once a month!

I also went to a film camp for a week at Western Washington University which I got a full ride scholarship for. The year before I attended UW for a week with a program that I’ve been with since 7th grade (Gear Up) to learn about college. Gear Up is a program that gears us up for college and will stay with us until we graduate high school. Then we get a 6-10 thousand dollar scholarship to any school!

This is my senior year and I’m taking AP Calc, AP Physics, AP U.S. History, Advanced Video Production, Yearbook, Citizenship, and English Independent Study. Next semester is pretty much the same thing.

    Your credentials look really good. Awesome GPA, Fairly average SAT Scores, Awesome Extracurricular participation, Pretty good class load. You should get into BU. But, USC and UCLA seem a bit of a reach to me. So, good luck.
