<p>Currently a freshman, applying for 10th grade.
White female
I go to an all-girls private school, it's known for being ridiculously challenging (It doesn't rank us, but I've taken the most rigorous courses they'll let me)</p>

<p>Current Grades/Courses:
Origins of World Civilizations: A
Western Lit: B+
Algebra 2/Trig: A
Latin II: A
Physics: A
Health: A
Global Issues: A
Research & Scholarship: A
Photography: B+
Orchestra: A
Arts In Practice: A
Silver Strings: A</p>

<p>Mostly high As through middle school except B+ in 7th grade Algebra 1. </p>

<p>ISEEs (I took these instead of SSATs):
Quantitative Reasoning: 99
Verbal Reasoning: 99
Mathematics Achievement: 98
Reading Comprehension: 94</p>

<p>ECs (my weaker area):
Violin (10 years, more of a recreational thing)
Ukulele
Stage Crew (15 hours a week)
Crew (novice)
Squash (recreational)
Lacrosse goalie, team captain last year.
GSA
Yearbook</p>

<p>Took a JHU CTY course in Astronomy over the summer</p>

<p>I think my essay went well -- I wrote about my experiences in Haiti when I volunteered there last spring and sustainable solutions regarding this</p>

<p>Interviews seemed to go excellently.</p>

<p>I have various awards from science competitions and PAJCL latin convention and my school, gold medal and a purple ribbon for the years I've taken the NLE. </p>

<p>Recommendations are really excellent, I get along very well with my Math and English teachers, and my Latin teacher has/will rave(d) about me.</p>

<p>See, the problem is I don't stand out much. I suppose I'm decently qualified, but in comparison to others, it's not really stand out in any way.</p>

<p>If you don’t stand out then where does that leave the rest of us?</p>

3

<p>blueraven- agreed. You’re an excellent applicant isn’t it a bit late for chance threads?lol</p>

4

<p>yeah. but i think you’ll get in</p>

5

<p>Standing out is something I don’t think you should worry about. Not many people play squash, win science competetions, play the ukelele, be on crew, and volunteer in Haiti all at once.</p>

6

<p>I can play the ukelele but I didn’t put it on my app. Mabye I should have?</p>

7

<p>At exeter i talked to my interviewer about dan brown books…sorry i just said that ;)</p>

8

<p>lol i love how blue just realized this…yeah you should have, maybe you can send it in now or is it too late?</p>

9

<p>A lil late, I reckon :slight_smile: I didn’t think it was that important lol</p>
