PSAT: 207 68 Reading, 70 Math, 69 Writing (I think this should be commended???)
Unweighted GPA: 3.76 (GPA kinda nosed dived after a shaky ending to junior year. To give you an idea, I was mainly an A student, but I got a ton of B’s last semster of junior year because of my involvement in a time consuming project and of my emphasis on social life)
Classes (so far): AP Government, AP World History, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Honors/Advanced level math for Algebra 2, Geometry, and PreCalculus with regular Algebra 1, Honors/Advanced level English for grades 10 and 11.

Essays: I think I will write about how I failed in life and overcame it. Also, I’ll write about how my backstory allowed me to become the person I am today.
Currently, I’m have not decided on a specific major, but I’m interested in studying business, law, or medicine? Overall, I want a across the board good education.

Also, if anyone can help me give suggestions on ideas for essays or what to write about that would be great. Lastly, give me some advice on how to improve my credentials

I think Berkeley and Chicago will be reaches for you - test scores are avg, ECs while varied are unspectacular (they’re still really good!!), gpa is eh (Im not sure if a dip in gpa being explained by “emphasis on social life” would be acceptable in any occasion, other excuse is fine imo)

As for essays, you have vague descriptions of your topics (which is okay for now) but I’d say you spend a major amt of time on those. Your essays will be the make-or-break component for at least the two I mentioned (esp uChicago because of the weird prompts and stuff). However, you’re a great candidate with strong ECs and rigor and you have potential to get into any of these colleges!! Work hard on those essays.
