I’ll use the same format as the decision threads…
Objective:[ul]
[] SAT I (breakdown): 2280 - M 780, W 800, CR 700 (may retake to get 800 on math)
[] ACT: Not taking
[] SAT II: Math Level 2 800, Physics 700, Chem 670, Spanish 720
[] Weighted GPA (4.0 scale): 4.31
[] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): Top 5%, but I WILL NOT BE SUBMITTING THIS
[] AP (place score in parenthesis): Spanish Lang (5), Comp Gov (5), US Gov (5) and 5 more senior year
[] IB (place score in parenthesis): Not offered
[] Senior Year Course Load: AP Comp Sci, AP Macroecon, AP Microecon, AP Calc BC, AP Stat
[li] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Not sure if this counts, but I’m a 2x recipient of an academic letter (given for straight A’s during a semester and/or a GPA over some threshold, I think 3.75, anyway I’ve done both)[/li]
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Young Democrats club (Co-founder/co-president), Speech and Debate (Captain), Student Senate (freshman class co-president), tennis (I won most improved on my team junior year), more stuff listed in the next few bullet points, HAND-PICKED BY PRINCIPAL to be on Principal’s Advisory Council - was one of five juniors (out of ~900) chosen and will be invited back senior year
[] Job/Work Experience: Intern for congressional campaign
[] Volunteer/Community service: 6 campaigns including internship (Obama, MIklosi for Congress, Romanoff for Congress, Kagan for State House [twice], Newell for State Senate), National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Excalibur
[] Summer Activities: Congressional campaign internship (noted above) before junior year, summer precollege at Cornell before senior year (nothing before sophomore year because I moved)
[] Essays: Not done yet, but they’re coming along great.
[] Teacher Recommendation: My teachers adore me. They’ll be phenomenal I’m sure
[] Counselor Rec: Counselor loves me. Will be fantastic
[] Additional Rec: From my debate coach who loves me (made the decision that I’d be captain as evidence, but either way she’s seen me work incredibly hard) so I’ll be shocked if it’s not amazing.
[li] Interview: Haven’t had it yet, but I interview very well so I’m sure it’ll go great[/li]
[/ul]Other[ul]
[] Applied for Financial Aid?: Probably will?
[] Intended Major: Political Economy (but undeclared if I chicken out)
[] State (if domestic applicant): CO
[] Country (if international applicant): N/A
[] School Type: Huge public high school, ranked very high and very well-known
[] Ethnicity: Caucasian
[] Gender: M
[] Income Bracket: Upper middle class I guess
[li] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Uhh, no.[/li]
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: I predict that my test scores will help. I’ve also had lots of leadership positions. One thing I wasn’t able to note here is that I’ve had a huge progression throughout my high school career; freshman GPA was 3.9 but junior year was 4.65
[] Weaknesses: Maybe I should’ve taken more APs before senior year.
[/ul]General Comments: I feel like my application will be pretty strong but I’d love your feedback! It would be great if you could point out particular strengths and weaknesses and let me know if there’s anything I can and should do in the short time left before I apply to strengthen my application. Thank you!
