Hi all,
I am an asian female who currently attends a rigourous HS in Connecticut (I currently share this account w/ my cousin who lives in MA, just to let those who see some inconsistencies in past threads know ;))
The following are my stats:
- ACT score from single test date: 35
- SAT: scores haven’t been released yet but I am expecting low to mid 1500’s
- GPA: 3.7 UW (had extenuating circumstances junior year - parents’ business declared bankruptcy)
- Will take subject tests in a few months
I have taken the following APs:
- AP Biology
- AP Euro
- AP Spanish Lang
- AP Lang
- I will take four more my senior year.
My recs may be mediocre, or an 8/10 at best.
Extracurriculars:
-President of a human right club at my HS for the last two years
-Have published in NCBI
-Volunteer at local mayor’s office
-Writer for online magazine and head editor of school newspaper
-Treasurer of a club dedicated to donating money made from artwork to organizations based in other countries
Mainly, I am worried about my junior year grades as I have 3 B’s. There is a slight downward trend in my grades, from 1 B freshmen year, 1 C in sophomore year, to 3 B’s in junior year. The rest of my grades in each year were all A’s. However, my classes have also increased in rigor, as I took four APs junior year. In addition, my parent declared bankruptcy this year as well so I am looking for a college that covers me well financially. I know that Wellesley is highly competitive, and admissions are very selective. I would like to know how I would compare in terms of the applicant pool. Thanks!
