2022 Admissions

Applying to College
1

Hello everyone,

I am looking to apply to apply to Cornell, UPenn, NYU, Emory, Northeastern and BU as reaches. I am a black female with a 3.99/4 gpa. I may apply test optional depending on how my SAT goes. Some EC info, I am currently working at CDC (Center for Disease Control) in the communications division, I am Co president of the Diversity Council, I am a Head of Tour for Admissions. I have also started my own initiative with my sibling focused on helping young children, we’ve helped over 10,000+ individuals. I have worked at UKAID similar to USAID but the British version. I will have taken 8 AP classes by the time I graduate. I am doing an independent study on female political representation as well. Please share thoughts and areas to improve

OP requested reader thoughts and areas on which to improve:

Whenever I read claims of young adults who “have started my own initiative with my sibling focused on helping young children, we’ve helped over 10,000+ individuals”, I ask for proof.

My suggestion is that you include a statement–if true–that verifiable proof of such claim is available upon demand and will be included as a part of any application.

Otherwise, despite the lack of any standardized test scores, I think that as an AA female with great ECs & superior grades, that you will be viewed favorably by any school to which you apply.

If applying test optional,then other parts of one’s application takes on added significance.
