So I’m doing ED2 for Bowdoin and I’m hoping I have a chance since I missed the interview deadline

Taking like 6 APs my senior year
I have a lot of STEM extracurricular so I hope they don’t find it weird (I’m planning on doing a 3-2 program in liberal arts)

Community outreach leader and we actually won a community award! I taught middle school children more about robotics and how they work

Key Club (9-11)
I participate in volunteering events every week, and sometimes I lead the events too. I was featured in their newsletter for being a dedicated member
Science Olympiad (11)
I was the captain of the robotics division, and our school won 3 awards despite just starting out
Girls Who Code club (11-12)

Took a lot of programs, usually over the summer, like being in the ACE mentorship program, NYC Model City Council, and Summer engineering for women and minorities, etc
Awards:
Questbridge college prep scholar, NLE award, community outreach award in the FTC competition, and placed 2nd in my engineering program’s comtest
Maybe apply to schools other than Bowdoin. I couldn’t imagine them accepting anyone other than the top students in the country without test scores. Bowdoin is so hard to get into
