Hey everyone! Thank you in advance for reading and responding to this.
Here’s a little about me:
I had a major GPA shift during high school. Freshman year I was practically straight A’s. Sophomore year I received a D and a C. Junior year, I got things more stable, and am in the B- to A range for all my classes (all of which are at the IB level!). I know that’s probably not that impressive for the 5.0 GPA folks on this site, but I’ve been struggling with clinical depression/anxiety for a long time and working is very difficult for me. Not an excuse, but it’s why things turned out the way they did.
Here are my stats:
Gender: Female
Race: Multiracial (black white and Native American)
Unweighted GPA: 3.58
Weighted GPA: 4.09
SAT (new SAT): 1290. Retaking to raise it.
Subject tests: don’t have the scores yet, but I took US History, English, and Biology
Extra Circulars: Model UN, humor editor for the school paper, student council, art club, literary magazine
Achievements: Second Place at the regional creative writing competition. Black belt in karate.
Academic Rigor: I’m currently enrolled in IB. So I take all IB courses and one honors elective. Last year I took AP Gov and AP Stat. (Received a A in Gov and a D in stat… yikes).
Misc: I have a strength in writing so I think I’ll have a great essay, and strong relationships with all of my teachers so I’ll have posituve recommendations.
George Washington University is my dream school and I think it’s within reach. My safeties are Saint Joe’s and Temple.
