ACT: Took it once so far, plan to take it twice more. The first time I took it (sophomore year) I got a 28. Studying hard for it currently, and going to take it this spring then again in the summer. For this purpose, let’s use a 30 as the score (since I’ll take it twice more and am almost guaranteed to improve + my sister had the same starting score as I did and got a 31 + im going to end up having 50-80 hours of study for it)

SAT: N/A

EC’s:
3 years of Track and Field (JR. High as well, got Coach’s Award and MVP during JH)
2 years National Honor Society member
2 years Mu-Alpha Theta member (math society)
~20 hours of volunteer work at homeless shelters, community activities, etc.
~50 hours of paid work for my mother’s business
Photography awards (Participation in Congressional Art Show, Special Recognition in the Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition for two pictures, two honorable mentions in the Scholastic Art Show)

Future essays: I haven’t taken the writing portion of the ACT test, but I do believe I am a good writer. I’ve always been graded well on papers and I think my essay would at worse be slightly above average.

Interests/ Hobbies/ Passions/ Miscellanious:
-Lover of science/ math (and most STEM subjects actually)
-High jump/ Long jump (track/ field)
-Disc golfing

-140 WPM typer (not exactly relevant, just added info)

Can you chance me for the colleges I listed? Also, bonus points for anyone willing to give tips on where I can improve/ what I’m missing :slight_smile:

Another added note about my coursework: my school does not offer advanced/ honors classes for the most part. I’m taking the most difficult courses I can really access.

The only things that I could’ve done better in my scheduling are:
-I’m a year ahead in the math track, but if I did better on some test we took back in JR. High I could’ve been in the double advanced math track (which would’ve made me take Calc my junior year and Calc 2 as a senior)
-Done foreign language in-class instead of through Rosetta Stone
-Honors English instead of the regular English (but then again, I’m doing English Comp 1&2 in high school which is pretty uncommon at my school and which will transfer into fulfilling my GE requirements for writing)

Other than that, I’m taking the highest amount of courses I can/ the most advanced courses that are offered to me.

Ugh, can’t edit my original post… but I forgot to add the following to my colleges that I want chance’d:
