Hey y’all! I’m a domestic white male high school junior from a private school applying to some lower T20s. My intended major is PolySci/International Affairs. I’m afraid my ECs are going to hold me back from the schools I apply to, so here goes.
Hooks:
None
Stats:
GPA: 4.0/4.0
ACT: 36

We don’t do class rank.
5 Main ECs:
- AQT (6 years), I’ve been a quiz bowl player for all of middle and high school. I’m mediocre but I was on the A team this year. Set to be captain this year.
- French Exchange Trip, I went on an exchange trip to Strasbourg for 3 weeks.
- I did an academic program over the summer in politics and social studies. Pretty prestigious.
- I’m a Science Olympiad lead this year. I did Sci Oly for one year so far.
- I’m the French Club Co President. I held this role for a year so far.
Awards: None
Recs:
My recs are pretty average I’d say. One is from my French teacher who liked me a lot and the other is from my math teacher who I think I annoyed a bit during the year.
Essays: I’m a good writer and the subject will be on my culture and heritage so these will be good I think.
Thanks sm!!
