Application help?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I am a current junior, and I was wondering if anyone could offer me advice on what to play up on my application :slight_smile:

W GPA: 4.2
UW: 3.9
No rank

ACT: 30
But will probably be 32 by time of application.

I’ve taken AP Bio, AP Euro, AP Calc AB, AP Physics, AP US history, and many honors classes.

Female, Hispanic student from Southern California.

I am involved in many clubs at school, have 100+ volunteer hours and some leadership. Summer internship at a genetics lab at UCSD.

I spend almost all my free time figure skating, as I am a nationally competitive skater.

I think my ECs are weak, but I’m hoping to play up the figure skating? I’m not sure…

You sound like a great applicant. Your ECs are not weak. Continue doing what you’re doing and remember it’s quality not quantity. Unless you’re being recruited for skating, I’m not sure how you would “play it up.” You can definitely write your essay about it, but be careful as sports essays can easily turn into cliches.

That’s very helpful, thank you so much!
Also, one more question, do you think I have a chance at Brown? I know it could always go either way, but if I’m super far off, than I’ll save myself the trouble and skip that one…
