<p>Sorry if this might sound weird. I copy and pasted the stats from another thread. Davidson is my #1 school right now. Unfortunately my stats aren't the best. However I still think I have a decent chance of getting in. I will be attending Junior Weekend next weekend and might get an interview then as well with someone from the admissions office. I would like to know what I need to do so that I can increase my chances for getting in. Also any advice for what I should do/ask/bring if I get the interview. Currently I don't have my first set of SAT scores but I took in January and I will get them online this upcoming Thursday. Finally before I put the stats down I have one question which is besides SAT/GPA/Rigor, what does Davidson put a big influence on? Anyway here are the stats.</p>
<p>Stats:
African American
Highly Competitive School
GPA 3.2 UW (3.4-3.5 W), weighted grade will increase with AP's hopefully to about a 3.6-2.8
Also a very big upward trend from what was about a 2.5-2.7 freshmen year.
School doesn't rank also.</p>
<p>Classes (will only list science and math): all of this is on an honors tracks at my school which doesn't offer a ton of AP's and unlike public schools doesn't offer an honors class for most courses, but they would be by most other schools standards honors.
Freshmen: Algebra II and Honors Physics
Sophmore: Pre-Calculus and Chemistry
Junior: AP Calculus AB and AP Biology
Senior (most likely): AP Statistics/AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure SAT will be between 2000-2200 (get scores back this month).</p>
<p>Will have 7/8 AP's by end of senior year. </p>
<p>EC's/Volunteering (~400 hours):
Marine Biology Club (9)
Futsal Club (10)
Soccer Team (JV 9,10 Varsity 10, 11)
Tennis Team (9)
Acolyting at Church (9,10,11)
Ushering at Church (11,12)
Appalachian Service Project (9,10,11,12)
Random Service Hours from small things
Vacation Bible School (9,10,11,12)
New Orleans Mission Trip
Stop Hunger Now Volunteer (11,12)
I really enjoy Stop Hunger Now and will probably write one of the essays on my work with them as well as hopefully become an intern this summer and lead meal making events at a college or two for their event where they make a million meals with the combined work of volunteers from a few colleges. </p>
<p>I might have 1-3 other clubs, I just have to see what constitutes being part of a club since I have gone to sessions of other clubs. Also keep in mind my private school is small so creating clubs is very hard to do since common interest is so hard to come by.</p>
<p>Awards:
JV Soccer MVP (10)
World History Award (10)</p>
<p>I'm getting help with my Essays and they will be good.
Recommendations will be amazing with two coming from great teachers (one who attended Yale and has taught at multiple colleges) who both like me a lot. I also plan to get a recommendation from an organization called Stop Hunger Now where I volunteer. They send prepackaged meals to other countries where hunger is abundant.</p>
