My daughter is going into her Senior Year of high school now. She spent her Junior Year in Zagreb through Rotary. None of her classes will transfer but she may get some elective credit for her Croatian language class. She took one AP in her freshman year but didn't score very well on the test. She doubled up in science and English for her sophomore year in preparation for year abroad. She just returned mid-June and is taking the AP's that are available but no science. She has a 3.75W GPA and a 30 ACT on her first try in sophomore year. She will be one week shy of 17 when she graduates and though she is young, she is pretty mature. They did not know about the Youth Exchange program in our area and she was able to get the local Rotary up to speed and has helped this year's student as well. Her goal is to promote youth exchange throughout the high schools and middle schools and she has had quite a few speaking engagements already. She is working now and though I gave her the option of community college and then transferring, she wants to major in International Relations with a school that has Slavic Languages and Cultural Studies. She has not been involved in many EC's but has volunteered for many years in children's museums and science centers. She interviews and writes very well so we are looking at schools that have a more holistic approach to admissions.
Based on this info., are there any schools that she may have a chance at? She is Hispanic, if that makes a difference.
We have looked into Macalester, UNC Chapel Hill (we are in NC), Barnard, Colby, Kalamazoo, Juniata, Wooster, St, Olaf and American University.
