Gala- You look awesome. Maybe more leadership and you should look for a "hook", maybe chess team would work. Are you applying this year or looking ahead to the next? I swear, people on here have something against juniors applying early.

lol thx. Yea... 3 ivies...

Next year, I'm planning to go to a community college to finish off my senior year, since I have all my credits...
I think that this will help me prepare for college.

Any suggestions about what I could do next year...
I mean, living in Nicaragua makes me like a frog in a well.
