I am applying to Princeton and UNC chapel hill EA as well as Vanderbilt, Yale, Columbia, American, Williams, Wesleyan and more RD.
GPA: UW: 3.9 W: 4.2 (very high at my high school)
SAT: 1500 (750, 750) 22/24 essay
ACT: highest 30 (submitted to Princeton so I would have to pay later)
AP: took 6 exams so far 5s in APUSH, AP gov., AP Lang, and APHug. 4 in AP Art history. 3 in AP Bio L-) Taking AP Psych, AP Econ, AP Lit, and AP Calc AB this year.
ECs: Dance 10 hours per week, advanced level. History Day competition all 4 years, won a few state awards. 2 Orchestras: Violin 1st chair. Serving as an election judge this november. I also work 4 days a week and have been doing so for the past 2 years.
LOR: I assume pretty good. They are from my orchestra teach whom i have known since 8th grade, when i started orchestra. I also asked my APUSH teacher and AP Gov teacher from last year. I did very well in those classes, so hopefully they are pretty good. My counselor rec is also probably the strongest since he loves me so much. :))
Essays: I quite like them. My common app is about how I challenged the idea that young workers deserve less than minimum wage despite doing the same work as adults. It was a mix between humor and seriousness.
Hooks: African American girl, low income
THANK YOU! Let me know if you need more info.
Isn’t Princeton SCEA? Meaning you can only apply to that school for early admission and not any other one…
They allow you to apply to any public school
