+ENGLISH
-7 & 8th grade I took Advanced English
-9th & 10th I took Pre-AP English
-11th grade I’m taking AP English
-12th grade I’m taking either AP or Dual Credit English
+SCIENCE

-11th grade I’m taking AP US History & AP European History
-12th grade I will take Dual Credit Gov/Eco
+FOREIGN LANGUAGE

EXTRA CIRCULARS:
-Freshman year: Head Photographer & Staff Writer on Yearbook Staff, took piano (started in 5th grade), karate, and was an active member of a junior order of a volunteer organization.
-Sophomore year: Took piano and was a member of the same junior order, but became a member of the senior order at the end of the school year.
-Junior year: Staff writer on Newspaper Staff, member of two volunteer organizations (one in school, one outside of school), taking piano

VOLUNTEER WORK:
-I’ve been volunteering at retirement centers, children’s homes, women’s shelters, etc. since I was 7 years old.
-I am currently a member of 1 volunteer organization doing various projects in the community and am applying for membership to another
-I am a member of an African relief organization and am hoping to travel with them right before my Freshman year in college to do mission work in Africa (Their offices are actually located in Nashville, not too far from Vandy).

This year I’ll be working insanely hard to get my grades up and will be getting involved in lots of community projects and that sort of thing. Do you think I even stand a chance of getting into Vandy?

Jordon asked:


I am looking to get another computer for my online schooling. I also will be using it to record music. I also would like to use it for games that come out that i’d like to play. I’m not a hardcore gamer, just if something cool comes out.
Which would you prefer?
Prices aside, I will be picking one of these 3. Or if you know of a computer you’d reccommend that is around $1500.

Should I get the p7350 in the hp if i go with it?
