HS senior, WA state
3.27 GPA
2220 SAT - 710cr, 760m, 750w
Going to a recently-founded STEM school with a strong local reputation and rigorous academic standard. Took a pretty sturdy no. of AP and honors classes. Had some fairly debilitating depression sophomore and junior year that wrecked my grades but I’m working things out now.
Did a couple of programming competitions and an internship with a software company. A year of paid work and some community/volunteering stuff.
Solid essays, one about the value of education and the written word and the other about the immigrant experience.
Chance me for:
- UW Seattle
- Seattle U (need financial aid)
- NYU (reach as hell, I’m aware)
- Emerson College (also need financial aid/scholarships)
My top pick is UW but my grades are obviously subpar.
Probably interested in English or Psych but undecided. Does it help to mention these interests on apps?
