Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):

Teacher Rec #1: AP Environmental teacher. 9. I had the chance to read it. Spoke highly of my work with the Red Cross and the research we conducted in class, as well as a thorough analysis of my character.
Teacher Rec #2: AP Lit teacher. 10. Also had a chance to read it. Described me as “infinitely inquisitive” and spoke more highly of me than some of my friends would lol.
Counselor Rec: Didn’t read it. I assume it’s above average as she knows some of the work I do around school but I assume it’s rather basic.
Additional Rec: N/A
Interview:
Brown interview: Went well. He studied cognitive science so we had a lot to talk about
Cornell interview: We really connected over our love of foreign languages and even did part of the interview in Korean. We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same middle school, so we connected fairly quickly.
Columbia interview: Didn’t have one
Dartmouth interview: Amazing. Told me he had no idea how I looked on paper, but that if it was up to the interview, he’d accept me in a heartbeat. He has written me three emails since our meeting.
Duke interview: Didn’t have one
Princeton interview: My best interview hands down. She and I genuinely clicked and she seemed really impressed with everything we talked about and my future aspirations. Said I was among the most impressive applicants she’d ever interviewed.
Stanford interview: Didn’t have one
Yale interview: Really good. She said my Why Yale answer was absolutely perfect and that it was the best answer she’d ever received.
Other

Applied for Financial Aid?: Yes
Intended Major: Biology
State (if domestic applicant):
Country (if international applicant): USA, Florida
School Type: Charter
Ethnicity: Puerto Rican (adopted from Russian)
Gender: F
Income Bracket: 60,000
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): I was told on another thread that being Puerto Rican would make me URM but I’m not sure how heavily they consider that because I do indicate in my app that I was adopted.

Strengths: Essays and grades
Weaknesses: Scores. I know my ACT score is in the range for some of them, but it’s definitely the lower 25th percentile.
My EC’s were kind of in the middle.

You seem impressive but I’m pretty sure all of these schools are reaches for everyone. Did you apply to other matches and safeties?

@Livvyxoxo yes! I got into UF and will go there if I don’t get accepted anywhere else.

Congratulations! That’s a good option and I hope you get into other schools as well.

Great choices @yeehaw23

Your SAT2 score seems borderline acceptable, but Im wondering if some of your listed schools need 2 SAT2’s?

I can judge you on anything else but the stats, since the other parts worth is determined by the adcom, but I’d say overall it looks good.

All your stats are great otherwise, and your ACT is like 25th percentile/borderline for some. So thats a point.

Hope this helps.
