<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I've applied to 20 schools, but have only interviews with 2, one being Mount Holyoke, and the interview really made me love it even more. To be fair, I never really thought about going to an all women's school, mainly because I had no idea they existed (they don't in Romania, so I just figured...), but I've done my homework on the school, and love it. </p>
<p>Anyway.Stats:</p>
<p>[ul][<em>] SAT I (breakdown): CR: 680 M: 610 W: 720
[</em>] SAT I superscore : 2010
[<em>] SAT II: Biology E 650, Literature 640
[</em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
[<em>] Weighted GPA: school doesn't do that
[</em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1/350
[<em>] AP (place score in parentheses): not offered

[/ul]
Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parentheses): European Youth Parliament (county coordinator and chairperson), School choir (lead), school band (bass guitar), English club (president), Artistic activity coordinator. Could be missing something, I'm not sure

[/ul]</p>
<p>[<em>] Common App Main: My CommonApp essay was about facing stereotypes because of being Romanian, specifically an incident in Italy that nearly got me and my sister stampeded. I think it's a good essay, probably the reason I got deferred at Harvard and not flatout rejected.

[</em>] School Type: public

<p>Also, I think my recommendations were great, I'm pretty loved around the school.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for taking the time and reading through this huge amount of text! I appreciate any comments. Also, if I didn't make it clear from the income, I'm applying for financial aid. A shizzleload of it...</p>
