Hi! Can you chance me for the following schools: Ohio State University (#1 choice), University of Michigan, Virginia Tech, University of Cincinnati, Purdue, University of Illinois, Texas A&M
-Upcoming senior
-White
-Male
-Private Christian School
-GPA: 3.95
-ACT: 28 (taken twice - did worse on my second try… planning on taking two more times. Hoping for a 29-30)
-Middle class (economic)
-Intended major: Math or Engineering (have not decided)
Our school does not have any AP classes, but instead we have college level classes that are taught by nearby professors that come to our school. The following classes I’ll have taken by the time I graduate are college classes:
-Psychology, Sociology, English Composition 1, English Composition 2, Calculus 1, Statistics, Western Civilization, Survey of the Holocaust
-Other class information: I have pretty much taken all the college classes my school has to offer and will take the only honors course available to me my senior year (english). I have way more credits than are what required (5-6 science, math, history, english). Comparably I’d say my schedule has been as rigorous as I have been able to make it.
EC’s/ honors:
-Graduating with honors diploma
-1 year of Track and Field
-1 year National English Honor Society member
-2 years National Honor Society member
-2 years Mu-Alpha Theta member (math society)
-Interned and stood in on engineering projects at a company (Diamond Power) (I will be doing this during my senior year as my senior project… I expect anywhere from 50-150 hours working under a mentor on a project. We think the project will be programming a PLC, and other work once we’re done with that)
-Helped design and construct a 9-hole local disc golf course in my small town. Played a big role in setting it up (was thanked in the grand opening publicly, etc.)
-LDGA (Lancaster Disc Golf Alliance) member
-Started/ am part of a book club (2 years)
-Photography awards (Participation in Congressional Art Show, Special Recognition in the Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition for two pictures, two honorable mentions in the Scholastic Art Show)
-~50 hours of miscellaneous volunteer work at homeless shelters, community activities, etc.
-~50 hours of paid work for my mother’s business
Future essays: I believe my essay will be great. I will be writing about my struggle with an anxiety disorder and how I overcame it (it won’t be a depressing story, I will put it in a positive light and show how I’ve grown through it).
Recommendations: They should be good. I think I’ll end up getting one from my chemistry/ physics teacher (PhD) and from my Calculus teacher. Both like me a lot and want to see me succeed.
