Quick French to English Translation

Salut,

I'm currently on an exchange program during my senior year of high school, and right now I'm in the process of applying to universities. I just finished translating a letter that I need to send to schools back home in order to finish up my applications, and I was wondering if someone could look it over for me.

Merci!
