High School Experience
My high school experience was great. Of course it was tough, but it was great. I wasn’t the thorough organization of the curriculum and how the teachers communicated it to the students aka classes were run perfectly. There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like about high school except how the athletic programs at our school were ran.
Course choices
I liked history in the beginning but I’m now a big fan of math and English. I’m interested in the human body so I took a course in it my senior year.
AP/IBs
None
GPA
4.65 weighted
Standardized Testing
Extracurriculars
I played AAU Basketball (didn’t play for my school team).
Recommendations
I had a great relationship with every single one of my teachers. I could’ve asked anyone but I chose the ones that taught the subjects I liked most my senior year and the ones that taught the subject my major lied under.
Essays
I wrote about the hardships that came with going from a French educational system to an English one.
Strengths
I had a diverse background and showed academic competence given my circumstances
Advice
Circumstances
Underprivileged living situation.
Why?
It’s the closest to New York; it is one of the best schools in America. I fell in love with its presentation and the enthusiasm of those running the school along with the student body.
