<p>Hi! I'm a rising senior girl from Pennsylvania and it would be great if you could chance me at these schools:
William & Mary
University of Maryland College Park
UNC Chapel Hill
Penn State University Park
James Madison University</p>
<p>I go to an average public high school. I'm white, I'm a female, and I don't have legacy at any of these schools except JMU, where my uncle attended and is currently an active member on one of the boards.
Class rank: 7 of 212, so top 3%
Weighted GPA: 4.95 unweighted: 4.0
All honors & AP classes throughout HS.
I took AP Chemistry, AP Government, and AP Language and Comp this year and had A averages in all 3 classes. I got 4's on gov & english, but a 1 on chem (chemistry and I just didn't get along) so I don't plan on sending my scores.
Next year I'm taking AP lit, AP calc, and APUSH, along with honors physics, pyschology, and sociology, and other honors level electives depending on what fits into my schedule.</p>
<p>SATs after 2 tries are at a 1250/1900 and I plan on getting them up to a 2000 at least when I take them in October. 650 WR, 610 M, and 640 CR. I think my math will probably go up to a 640, my writing to a 700, and reading to 670. Hopefully.
I'm also going to take the October ACT but I honestly don't know how I'll do on them, probably in the 30-ish range.</p>
<p>My EC's are pretty strong. I've done theater for 10 years and have been involved in my high school's drama program every year. I'm an active member of Future Business Leaders of America, Interact Club, Chichester Students for Civil Involvement (basically a political and community activism group), KISS Army (Kids In School Spirit: Basically a pep group but a huge deal at my school), Student Council, Homecoming committee, Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, National Honor Society, and Math and Science Honor Society.</p>
<p>I volunteer every summer at a Christian dance camp for children and I've also done 100+ hours of other various volunteer activities in my community or through my school. I actually really enjoy volunteer work and hope to do more my senior year.</p>
<p>As for leadership, I'm Student Body Treasurer and Student Council Historian. I'm also a manager at my part-time job at an ice cream store. My teacher rec's also say a lot about how I'm a leader in the class room.</p>
<p>Writing is my strongest area and I've always been able to churn out good essays, so I would say good essay.
Great and unique teacher recommendations.</p>
<p>I interviewed at W&M this summer: it went so well from my perspective! It was relaxed, simple, and a lot of fun. I'm an outgoing person so talking to a stranger wasn't hard. William and Mary is my top school and i know it's a big reach, so I took the initiative to interview.</p>
<p>So what do you think? I'm applying ED at W&M and EA at all the others that offer it and RD if they don't. Thanks!</p>
You have great academics that make up for your test scores (although this could be a sign that you go to a poor/not competitive school). I think you’ll get into all of those schools
