Please chance me for Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Kenyon, and Emerson.
I attend a private school in FL. My school does not rank, although percentages are given by GPA. Only 1% (about 3 per graduating class) of students get a 4.0 UW (aka grade inflation does not exist here lol). Generally, students go to top schools.
GPA: 3.8 UW, 4.2 W
ACT: 35
SAT I: don’t expect to take
SAT II: American H (770), Literature (750)
AP tests / predictions based on mocks: WHAP (4), Lang (5), Gov (5), Enviro (5), APUSH (5)
AP tests for my senior year: AP Lit, AP Stat, AP Bio, AP Psych, AP Art History
Extracurricular:
NHS (2 years)
Spanish Honor Society (3 years)
Drama Club member (4 years)
Thespian Society member (4 years)
Drama Publicity Head (junior year)
Drama VP (next year)
Acted in 5+ HS plays (leads in a few)
Ran tech for 3 HS plays
Received perfect scores for several acting events at a well-known drama competition
Attended a semi-prestigious writing program the summer of my freshman year
Got the highest score possible for playwriting at a well-known drama competition
Youngest featured reader at a local reading series
Published in several well-known lit mags (i.e. not the New Yorker, but most writers would recognize them)
Book review blog - I receive advance reader copies from publishers in exchange for honest reviews
I’ve written a short screenplay that is being produced by an NYU film major
I have volunteered ~150 hours, mostly at the library, tutoring kids in reading, and interning for a non-profit that gives educational opportunities to underprivileged kids
I expect my recommendations to be good.
Also, I’ve written a novel(unpublished), but I’m not sure if it’s worth mentioning. I know it’s commonly seen as an admission ploy, but considering creative writing is my passion I’m wondering if I should mention it.
Thanks.
