<p>Hi! I’m a highschool senior, applying ED to Bowdoin. I know the admissions at Bowdoin can be kind of random, but I want to know if I’m competitive.</p>
<p>GPA:
Freshman: 3.9
Sophomore: 3.8
Junior year, transferred to a boarding school: 95% w Honors U.S. History, Physics, Precalc, English, and Regular Latin.
Senior year courses: AP Euro, AP Lit, AP Calc BC, Honors Latin II, Marine Bio</p>
<p>2090 SAT I, 750 CR, 580 Math, 760 Writing
I’ve been studying math a lot over the summer and should score above 700.</p>
<p>740 Literature, 670 Math II
APUSH: 5 (self-studied)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Captain of debate team sophomore year at old school, and both years at my new school. Won several tournaments in my old state, and was one of three sophomores to qualify for the National Tournament of Champions, a very prestigious debate tournament.</p>
<p>Joined varsity fencing junior year, won 8th place in our school’s league. I also joined crew the same year. From what I’ve heard though, these don’t really help me out.</p>
<p>Proctor at my boarding school, a very time-intensive leadership and guidance position.</p>
<p>Volunteered at a U.S. veteran’s hospital in my home city this summer and the previous, over 100 hours altogether.</p>
<p>I write a political column for the school newspaper.</p>
<p>Also, I’m a tour guide for prospective students at my school.</p>
<p>Other things:
My junior year history teacher, who is also the school headmaster, is an active Bowdoin alumnus. He really liked me, and is writing one of my recs.
I also had my interview on campus this summer, and although I think it went well, these things are hard to judge.</p>
<p>Thanks for any feedback!</p>
