Profile -
Caucasian female (born in US)
Income: Lower end of middle class (my mom is a single parent)
State: Missouri
School: Very small public school (260 students)
Academic -
GPA: 3.97 unweighted
Class rank: 1 out of 57
ACT: 31 composite
Major: Undecided
My school doesn’t offer any AP classes since it’s so small, but I have enrolled in many dual-credit classes for both high school and college credit.
I took College Algebra and College American History last year, both for dual credit. This year, I am earning college credit through College English, Calculus, and College Psychology. The rest of my senior courses include Trig/Statistics, Spanish III, and two periods of Career Exploration that allows me to leave early for work. I am a little nervous that my class rigor will not be enough for some colleges, but I am taking the best classes available at my school.
Extracurricular -
Renaissance (an academic club): 4 years
Student Council: 4 years
National Honor Society
Speech and Debate: 2 years
Academic Team: 2 years
Band: 3 years
Volunteered for kindergarten summer school tutoring: 150+ hours
Full-time job: 30-35 hours a week during the school year
I am also on the Honor Roll. I was nominated for Missouri Girl’s State but did not attend due to work.
I appreciate any responses. I know that there is nothing I can do now, but I am curious and I still have until April to wait to get these decisions back. Thank you in advance!
