What are your service activities?

4

In mayor’s council we do one community service event per month (each one is about 4-6 hours, so it ends up between 30-40 hours of service in there) and then in National Honor Society I will get a medal for doing 40 hours of community service per year for both junior and senior year (total of 80 hours in there) and then beta I do about 20 hours per year, but there isn’t one specific Organization in the community that I work with.

Columbia ED- Reach
MIT: EA- Reach
UChicago: EA- Reach
Georgia Tech: EA- Match bc in state
UPenn: RD- Reach

All these school are extremely hard to get into. Sorry that I can’t give you something more. It will all come down to the essays. Maybe the SAT Subject tests are a little low, specifically I’m thinking about MIT, but those can be corrected.

6

They are all reaches, but I am 100% sure you will get in.

7

I think most of the ECs are self serving and not outward facing. You really need to do some community volunteering on your own.

8

Alright I’ll make sure to do that in my free time

9

Just to update anyone:

MIT accepted early
Columbia deferred
Uchicago deferred
Georgia Tech accepted plus Presidential scholarship invite (not doing it, because my financial aid at MIT is amazing)
