Hi! I applied ED to Union a couple of weeks ago. I’m extremely anxious to hear back because its my top school. I’ve had a college coach throughout my whole college admissions process, so I’ve had a lot of guidance with writing my essays. I have visited campus 3 times, once for an on campus interview that I believe went very well. I’ve been on my High School Honor Role Freshman through Senior year. I struggled a lot academically Junior year (specifically with AP Physics and Honors Pre-Calc). Although, I wrote an extra essay in the additional information section of the common app explaining my struggles with the classes and what I learned from them while I was choosing my classes for my Senior year. To support the claims I made in my additional information essay, I ended the first quarter of my Senior with a 98/100 (3.9/4) weighted GPA. My Cumulative Unweighted GPA is a 3.5/4, and my Cumulative Weighted is a 3.64/4. I did not submit my any test scores because I am not a good test taker (especially when it comes to Reading Comprehension). I took AP Physics I my Junior year and I am currently taking AP Art History, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and AP Psychology. I am also taking Honors Calculus which is still taught at the AP level at my High School with just a different teacher, so I am still required to take the AP Calculus AB test in May. Extra Curricular wise I have been in every show of my High School’s Drama Club since my Freshman year, and I was elected onto the Drama Club Council for my Senior year. I have been a Racing and Development (RAD) ski instructor at Attitash for going on 3 years, and have been coaching there for going on 4 years. I was a Driver’s Education Teacher’s Assistant for a portion of my Junior year. For 2 Summers, I worked at a software company called Demandware. And during the second Summer, I worked during Demandware’s acquisition by Salesforce.com (so I’ve technically worked for Salesforce.com for a couple of months as well). I have participated for 3 years in a competitive audition based chorus at my school known as North Shore Voices. I have also recorded songs with an education based group sponsored by MIT, and have performed for charity based fund raisers. I believe my essays are extremely strong considering all the time and editing I have spent on them, and I also think my Teacher Letters of Recommendation are strong as well. I have 2 alumni recommendations from people I worked with at Demandware as well. Lastly, I am fortunate enough to be able to pay for college without need-based financial aid. I’m going in as an Undecided Major, but I have a strong interest in Social Studies specifically the Social and Psychological aspects to Economics and Government. If somebody could let me know what they think my chances are that would be amazing! I’ll post when I hear back! Thank you all so much 
I GOT IN WITH A PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP!!!
How do you know you got a scholarship?
@goyanks123 If you scroll down to the bottom of your acceptance letter, under “The following letters are available for this account:” there should be another link containing your financial plan labeled “December 13, 2016”, if you click on that it will show you the annual cost (not including the scholarship) and whether you got a scholarship or not.
