<p>Before I begin, I just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me. Also, I know that my list is top-heavy, but that's exactly why I'm asking for your opinions. </p>
<p>Current College List (I'm a senior): University of Virginia (EA), Pomona, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Cornell University, Bowdoin, Colgate, Emory, William & Mary, University of Washington - Seattle, and American University</p>
<p>School: Competitive public school in Maine. Roughly 800 students total. </p>
<p>SAT: 2140 (770 CR, 630 M, 740 W). Based on practice tests, math will go up to 700 or so. </p>
<p>Subject Tests: 740 US History, 730 Literature</p>
<p>GPA: 98.733/100 weighted (our GPA system calculates the average of each semester grade with a 4% boost for honors and AP courses). </p>
<p>Rank: Top 10%/197</p>
<p>AP Classes: US Gov (5), Comp Gov (5), Lit (4), US History (5), and this years classes, which are Lang and Comp, Spanish, European History, Calc AB, and Stats</p>
<p>Activities:
- Senior Class President
- Student Council Representative (10-11)
- Debate Team (Captain 11-12, Good amount of honors/competitive success)
- Ice Hockey (JV 9-11, Hopefully varsity 12, our school's program is really good)
- JV Tennis (9-10)
- ~45 official community service hours (Middle school debate coaching, blood drive volunteering, a lot of janitorial stuff at the local ice arena, teaching hockey skating to young kids)
- National Honor Society</p>
<p>My essay will probably be a huge part of my application, as I'm writing about my struggles with OCD, how I have been able to manage it throughout the years, and what I've learned about myself/how I've changed because of it. Certainly ambitious, but hopefully schools see it as a unique and personal essay. </p>
<p>Also, just for reference, financial aid probably won't be too big of an issue, I'm caucasian, both parents went to law school, and I have no legacies at the aforementioned schools. </p>
<p>Thanks Again!</p>
