Hey! I’m a high school senior interested in applying at a rather rigorous allotment of schools- Brown, Cornell (applying ED to this one), Swarthmore, and UChicago, to be precise.
I’m interested in both literary and astronomical majors, so a good liberal arts school captures what I’m looking for- a breadth of material as wide as my interests themselves. So here goes nothing!
The numbers:
SAT: 2220 composite, 800 Critical Reading, 740 Math, 680 Writing. This is a superscore btw- took it twice.
SAT II: 780 Literature, 710 Biology (Ecological).
PSAT: 1440 composite.
GPA: 3.95 unweighted, 4.47 weighted.
Class Rank: at least top 10%? My school doesn’t exactly update them often.
ACT: 33 Composite, 34 Reading, 29 Mathematics, 33 Science, 36 Writing. This was one sitting… but I don’t think I’ll submit it, as my SAT is presumably better.
Other Acadamia:
National Merit. I’m only commended as of now (won’t find out more until September, anyhow), but with my 1440/1520 PSAT I’d be surprised if I didn’t go any further.
AP:
World History: 3 
Psychology: 4
Language: 5
European History: 4
Biology: 4
US History: 5
Senior year AP’s:
Literature, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, US Gov, Comparative Gov, Physics, Calc AB, Human Geography (online, mostly for fun.)
Extracurriculars:
Internship at MOSH (museum of science and history). I’ve got around 100ish volunteer hours here? It’s my best thing, I think.
Secretary and founding member of the Democrat Society. This is also big.
NHS
Link Crew Leader (guiding freshmen to succeed in HS)
4 years of my school’s cybersecurity academy. Fun!
I built a rather impressive website to sell my mom’s work, as she’s a professional artist. Worth including?
Another site- equality project (work in progress).
Eclectic volunteer hours, from pro-choice faculties to soccer with disabled kids.
Recreational soccer, from age 5 through high school.
Other:
Recommendation letters: My AP Lang teacher thinks I’m “the brightest kid she’s ever taught”. And a couple of other teachers are fond of me, including my counselor. So I think I’m good.
Essay: This is one of my greatest strengths, I think. Should be exceptional, but you never know.
Also- I’ve only got two years of high school Spanish, and I’m only now aware that most of my schools require three. I could take an extra year of Spanish online? But… I really hate it, and I’m quite bad at the language besides. My true love is French (got realllly into it in middle school, but it’s not offered at my HS), so I could take French 1 online? But that’s not exactly consistent. So I’m unsure.
Thoughts? Advice? CHANCES? I’m here for it all. Thanks!
