Hello, my mom really wants me to apply to a reach school even though we can’t afford it(lol) so here it goes:
-I Go to a competitive private high school in Pennsylvania.
-My high school has a weird grading scale (100-93 is an a, 92-85 is b etc.)
- Uw gpa:~3.7 ish, weighted is 4.64 (my school only submits weighted on transcript, and even though they don’t submit rank, I’m in roughly the top 18%)
-Highest composite act is 31, 32 superscored.
Extracurriculars:
9th grade:
- helping kids with disabilities play sports(didn’t add name for private reasons)
-I played freshman football(not sure if I would add this because it only happened freshman year) - I have worked a job since I was 14.
-I made high honors at my school both semesters.
-humane society volunteering
10th grade:
-ski club
-JOb
-helping kids with sports
-I began volunteering at a hospital in the beginning of the year
-I worked with a family friend on a political campaign
-high honors again both semesters.
-humane society volunteering
Summer:
-Went to Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week
-My brother and I started a landscaping “business”(not sure if I would put this)
11th grade:
-ski club
-job- promoted to “entry-level manager”
-hospital volunteering
-humane society volunteering
-FBLA- first time it happened at my school
-Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science(first place in regional, couldn’t go to states because of family stuff)
-joined Spanish club
-high honors both
-participated in the Brain Bee at Pitt
-joined National Honor Society
I realize that a lot of my activities are Pennsylvania based but I assume that won’t be too detrimental. Also, I know I lack leadership but I am trying to start a pre Med club at my school for the next year.
If it matters, I will probably apply to the school of individualized studies if I apply.
Thank you and I can chance back
