Goal Schools: Georgetown University, American University, George Washington University, and Boston College
Hispanic male from Massachusetts.
GPA: 3.71 Unweighted. My school does not weight. My grades have been trending upward, most notably my Junior year, which I’m told is good.
ACT: 33 Composite… I can get it to 34 easily and maybe 35.
SAT and SAT IIs: Taking them in the fall but the SAT IIs are my only real concern. I like the feel of the ACT even though I’ve only taken it once. It feels more natural than the PSAT and, I assume, the SAT.
AP Exams: 9 of them. Only one I got back so far has been a 4 on my AP Euro test. I get APUSH, AP Lang and AP Physics 1 back in a few days and I’m taking 5 more Senior year. Senior year APs will be Environmental Science, English Lit, French, US Gov/Politics, and Stats. I project 5s and 4s on all of my APs with the possible exception of physics.
Academics: On a 1-10 scale, 10 being the hardest courses, I’m a very high 9 or a low 10. All Honors or AP courses. This puts me in the top 10-15% of my class. Hard to tell within that range because we do not rank. I will likely be National Merit Commended Status and a National Hispanic Recognition Program Finalist in September before applications. National Honor Society member.
Sports:
Junior and Senior (2-year) Captain of Varsity Swim team, participated varsity all 4 years. I also did external club swimming for all 4 years year-round.
Ran Cross Country 2 years, 1 varsity.
ECs:
Civil Air Patrol 4 years, will reach Officer status before applications are due. CAP has entailed countless hours of community service in multiple situations.
Founded a substance abuse outreach program with volunteer and donation aspects from my school and surrounding area to work in the surrounding towns and cities due to the opioid epidemic.
I write for the school newspaper.
French Club.
Model United Nations.
I went to Boys’ State this summer and was elected to numerous state and municipal positions.
I’ve been certified and working as a lifeguard throughout the entire year (school-year and summer) since Sophomore year.
I want to major in Political Science or some other pre-law type of major within that general scope, maybe Government. Science and math are not my strengths. I love Georgetown and I want to apply EA there to try to let them know as much as possible that they are my first choice, despite my garbage GPA.
