Hi!
I'm a white (italian if that helps haha) female living in Texas. My parents both attended the University of Michigan, one parent in Engineering + Ross School of Business (BA) and the other an LSA major. I was born a wolverine and that is my top school, I'm applying early admission, and there are photos of me 1 month old in my Michigan cheerleader uniform at a football tailgate. No joke. I'm really hoping my parents being u of m grads helps me!
SAT: 1360 (680 r&w, 680 math) 6-5-7 essay. Planning on taking the SAT again in May to get a 1400.
GPA: 3.5 UW 4.3 W. 4.3 freshman year, 4.5 sophomore year, 4.2 junior year.
Rank: 32/720 (top 5% of class) I was ranked 16 until this year ://
APs: I have only taken honors and AP classes, including AP Bio, AP English Lang&Comp, and AP US History so far. My schedule for next year has AP Calculus BC, AP English Lit, AP Env. Science, AP Economics, and AP Government.
Extracurriculars: Dance has been my passion since I was young and it is my most defining extracurricular; I believe it will set me apart from most nerdy math types. I have won 7th and 4th place at regional competitions for my solos, and I have been a part of 3 different dance teams throughout HS: 1- Studio dance team of the best dancers in Austin where we competed and attended class from famous choreographers and traveled around the state of TX weekly, 2- Elite team of my school’s best 8 dancers, and 3- Statewide-known drill team that is practically a sorority (because of the togetherness) if I’m being honest. We practice before school every day for 3+ hours and attend and perform at every football game, perform at basketball games, compete statewide against other schools, and organize our own spring show. I have been given multiple solo opportunities and am one of the stand-outs on the team, which (IMPORTANT) has eaten into my time to study for tests and do homework. The drill team is the most time-consuming organization that my school has to offer but I’m looking forward to detailing in my essays how much this organization has changed me for the better B-)
*** aside from dance, I have very few other ECs but they include: Treasurer in my school’s Key Club, Spanish Honor Society, HOSA, Bowie Buddies (working with kids w/ disabilities), volunteering at my church’s VBS every year since 6th grade, and I work at a snow cone shack march-october.
THANKS FOR CHANCING ME! tell me what I should do to improve my chances for the remaining 2-ish months of high school and be honest! I know my gpa and sat are fairly average, but my passion and dancing ability and courseload will help me out.
