<p>I recently visited Haverford and fell in love. Coming from a highly competitive high school program, the people and atmosphere were refreshing and something that I really want in a school. </p>
<p>I am a high school junior. I attend a public school but am in a school-within-a-school (magnet school type deal), with half of my classes in the Scholar's Center for the Humanities. I am in this program for English, History, and one elective. A concentrated emphasis is placed on developing analytical and critical thinking skills, research capabilities, and proficiency in written and verbal communication. </p>
<p>Academics:
I am in all honors and AP classes (4 APs this year: English, USHistory, Bio, and Psych), and expect to take all honors and 4 more APs next year (Stat, Literature, Euro, and Economics)
I get all As. I think my unweighted gpa is a 4.0, but my school weights the gpa and I'm confused on how to convert it.
My rank is #2 in a class of over 600 students.
I did not take the SATs yet, but am getting a tutor and expect to do well.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Editor in chief of the school literary magazine.
Captain of the mock trial team.
Chairperson for the town's Relay for Life
Class representative for the humanities student council
Member of the school GSA
Member of a Jewish youth group
Volunteer for a charity where we visit children in a local hospital twice a month (putting on plays & puppet shows for them, reading them books, giving them gifts, etc). We also organize events such as fashion shows & parties to raise money for the charity.</p>
<p>Do I have a good chance of getting into Haverford, or is it probably a reach?</p>
<p>Thank you! :)</p>
