I want to go major in either biology or psychology and get into medical school. I plan to retake my SATs in October. I'm still waiting for AP scores to come in. I admit I've done this before, but that was before I didn't know my SATs.
Goodness, it's hard to say. Your extracurriculars are INCREDIBLE, but then there's the grades and the scores. Your GPA, I mean it's not bad, just a TEENSY low. SAT, you definitely need to get up to at least a 1900. But you have a pretty good chance for some of those schools, so don't give up hope!
My dad went to USC, I want to attend Johns Hopkins. Great schools! :D
Ascension School is the Catholic Parish School of the Ascension Catholic Community who has been making a difference for over 70 years. Emphasis is ...
I'm also interested in Duke and Stanford. I admit I've done this before but this is updated.

I'll be taking the SAT in June.
As for all of my volunteer activities, I want to go into medicine (pediatrics hopefully) and I enjoy working with kids. During my church activities and the Montpelier festival, I worked with kids.
I'll find out my AP scores in July.
I went to UCLA, so I'll only speak about that university. You have an impressive list of activities, which makes me hope the application has changed since I attended UCLA (2000-2004), because we were only allowed to list five honors and five extracurricular activities (there might have also been a third category for leadership--can't quite remember it has been almost ten years since I filled out that application). Which stinks, because it levels the playing field for those who did just a little bit in high school. FYI: UCLA only looks at sophomore and junior GPA (which is good if it is your freshman GPA that drags you cumulative down--but it also means you can't help yourself out with a strong senior GPA). Is this weighted or unweighted GPA? Unfortunately, if it is your weighted GPA, those stats are a bit low for UCLA--over 92% of their admitted students had a 4.0+. But definitely still high enough to apply. Study hard for the SAT, if you don't do so hot (and you probably want to significantly above the UCLA admit average to balance your GPA), take a class if you have the money. Spend a lot of time on your essay, this is the one thing you really can control, and if you end up as a maybe, this can really help or ruin your chances. Also, remember the prestigious schools get more and more competitive each year (my year only 77% of students had 4.0+, that percentage went up by 15% in just nine years--kind of scary). Not trying to discourage you, I just want to make sure you're aware of the reality of how ridiculously competitive admissions are getting.
These are all highly competitive schools, so it is within realm of possibility that none would admit you, so unless you would be okay with spending time in a community college (which definitely a cheaper route), make sure you apply to a couple of safety schools.
EDIT: I just noticed the out-of-state part. Traditionally it is much harder to gain admissions to an out-of-state public school than an in-state one, so make sure you include some Maryland schools in your application set.
Good luck on the SAT and the applications.

It kind of sounds like I'm pro Spain, but I'm just trying to answer the question what do you think?
2. Is the view of the Spanish and Portuguese as especially harsh conquerors and exploiters valid-or is this image just another version of the English “Black Legend” concerning the Spanish role in the Americas?
It's not completely true, wile some Spanish and Portuguese conquerors were very cruel, harsh, and exploitive, it's not fair to say all of them were.
A lot of people came from Spain and Portugal to create a system, similar to the one's in Europe, in the New World. They needed the Indians to do the labor that peasants would have done in Europe. If they killed thousands of Indians, the Europeans would have to do the work themselves, so it was important for them to take care of the Indians. It just wouldn't make sense to be cruel and harsh to people that you need for your feudal system to work.
Also, many of the Spanish and Portuguese married Native Americans, and combined parts of each other cultures into their own. If they were just hash conquerors and exploiters they would have just conquered the Natives, and destroyed them. They wouldn't of married them, and incorporated parts of the Native American' culture into their own.
Many of the Spanish and Portuguese converted and baptized Native Americans. They thought it was very important to the Native Americans salvation to be converted. It shows that they did some things they thought would benefit the Indians. They did more than just destroy and conquer, they built churches and missions for the Native Americans.
A lot of the stories about how the Spanish and Portuguese were hash conquerors and exploiters was started by the British, who were in some ways worse to the Native Americans. The Spanish needed the Indians for their feudal system, but the British didn't. They were self governed, so they had no need for the Indians to be around. The result was a lot of tension and fighting between them, and in many places killing or kicking the Native Americans out.
The British started a lot of these stories, the “Black Legend” because they didn't really like Spain, the two countries didn't get along very well. One of the biggest points of tension between the two was religion. Spain was strongly Catholic, wile Britain on the other hand was protestant (Church of England). Henry the VIII, broke off of the Catholic Church and started the Church of England which was ruled by the monarch, not the pope. He died, he was succeeded by his son Edward, who was also Protestant, but died after, only reigning for a little wile. Henry's Daughter Mary I became Queen. She was strongly Catholic and married Phillip II of Spain. During that time Brittan was on good terms with Spain, because the Spanish King had control over both countries. When She died she was succeeded by her half sister Elizabeth I, who was protestant. This caused tension again between Spain and England and with Elizabeth's ascension to the English throne, Philip lost control over Britain.
The British didn't like Spain converting so many Native Americans to Catholicism. They wanted to convert them to be Protestant.
The British also didn't get along well with Spain because their American colonies were giving them a lot of wealth. They were able to create the Spanish Armada, and basically control the Atlantic Ocean. Elizabeth even secretly paid sailors such a Sir Francis Drake, who she later knighted, to seize Spanish treasure ships.
With all the tension between the two countries, it's believable that the British made up, or exaggerated stories about the Spanish and Portuguese, because they didn't get along with them.
So, the view of the Spanish and Portuguese as especially harsh conquerors and exploiters isn't completely correct. Some were, but most weren't. They needed the Native Americans, to be laborers in their Feudal system, so it didn't make sense to be especially harsh to them. They also wouldn't have married Native Americans and wouldn't have gone to the trouble of converting, baptizing and building churches for the Native Americans if they were just cruel conquerors. They would have just destroyed and took over the Native Americans. Most of the stories about their cruelty were started by the British, who were in some ways more cruel, because they didn't get along very well with Spain.
That's ok, look at what I wrote up about Columbus lol yeah

Semana Santa: Celebrating Mexicos Easter Week - Travel tips ...
Since most of Mexico is Roman Catholic, the Holy Week celebration is an important part of Mexican culture. Semana Santa begins on Palm Sunday and concludes on Easter Sunday. During this time, outdoor crosses change from the Lenten purple and eventually are transformed with white cloth and flowers; to signify Christ's Resurrection.
When you prepare for Semana Santa: Celebrating Mexicos Easter Week best protection you should bring and buy if driving in Mexico is Mexican Auto Insurance . Ask for a quote from Mexican Insurance specialists who understand how to save you a few dinaros and still provide excellent coverage. For more infor review Mexican driving insurance programs.
Popular in many Mexican villages, the reenactment of the last hours of Christ and his Resurrection are often acted out by townspeople. While an emotional experience, deeply religious Mexican people see Christ's suffering as a gateway to eternal salvation and wish to experience it as closely as possible. Helping convey this message to the younger generation and as a reminder to older villagers, these reenactments also help draw tourists with revenue that assists the local economy. (Note: due to the brutality and highly in-depth portrayal of this event, parents with small children may wish to leave their children with a sitter, as it can be overwhelming for many young children.)

If anyone ever got a hold of my iPod, I’m not sure exactly how embarrassed I would be. The music collection is rather odd, the complete AC/DC anthology, everything Bon Jovi has ever recorded publically. There’s a bit of Ozzy, Metallica, Miley Cyrus, Disturbed, Norah Jones, Stephen Lynch, Avril Lavigne, Aerosmith, Journey, Linkin Park (dang… it doesn’t matter how many bands I list… the Miley Cyrus sticks out like a sore thumb… but I am being honest here). But its not just the odd collection of music. The Video collection consists of entire movies and television shows, You Tube Tutorials on tricks in Photoshop, Rubik Cube tricks and tips, some of the vids I liked that have gone “Viral”, and some recordings made by friends. In the podcast section, I have podcasts covering various topics. And the Notes aren’t exactly notes… more like entire texts that I think are important to keep with me.
