I’ve been lurking the forum gathering any info I could for months now but now that junior year is coming to a close I would appreciate any and all feedback anyone is willing to give me.
GPA: UW-3.45 W: 3.7
Definitely my biggest weakness but I had a 3.2 freshman year and I have a strong upward trend.
SAT: haven’t taken
ACT: 31 composite
Class Rank: school doesn’t rank
I’ve taken 3 AP’s and 3 honors classes(again nothing special really)
EC’s: lacrosse 3 years, basketball, ~80 hours of volunteering, LOTS of hours at work last summer and this upcoming summer(5-6 days a week), schools honor society-although it isn’t too impressive it’s still something
Teacher recs will be written by two teachers that love me and my counselor and I know each other pretty well. I also volunteered for a politicians campaign last fall, so I’ll have a personal rec letter from a state rep if needed.
I’m also Iranian-American(citizen of Iran also) and first generation American and college student
schools(plenty of reaches most likely I’m aware but eh)
Tulane
U of Miami(Florida)
USC
UNC chapel hill
Texas
Colgate(unrealistic or possible?)
Also this might not the be the right thread sorry if it is but does anyone have any good additional schools I should look into(preferably any reaches that I have a chance in because I have multiple safeties/matches in mind)
