Hi everyone! As the end of my junior year grows ever nearer, I’ve become gradually more and more anxious about my future. I really wanted to see what I can improve in the next couple of months as a student and a person; I want to be ready for university socially, academically, and financially.

Extracurriculars and test scores:
During my freshman year, I participated in color guard, a cultural diversity club, and Sources of Strength (a mental health advocacy club).
My PSAT 8/9 score was 1200.
AP Human Geography score was a 3.
During my sophomore year, I was in the same cultural diversity club, Key Club, and I joined tennis in the second semester.
My PSAT 10 score was 1190.
I didn’t take the AP Chem final because I was already eligible for credits from dual enrollment.
I got a 2 on the AP US History test (to be fair, my teacher literally did not teach us lol).
I got a 4 on my AP Seminar presentation.
Now in my junior year, I’m a bit more involved. I’m the social media coordinator for my schools animal advocacy group, I’m the éco-délégués for my French class, I’m still in the cultural diversity club, and I’m still playing tennis. I’m hoping to get into the NSLI-Y Mandarin Summer program.
My PSAT score was 1170 (not the best :(( I’ll improve though).
I’m taking the SAT and ACT later this semester; I’m also completing my AP World, AP French, AP Environmental Science, and AP Research tests/submissions in May.
General info:
I’m a white female with divorced parents (25-75 custody). My mom recently got a job at a Jesuit university as a(n assistant?) professor–she also took a pay cut of about $40,000. I’m not really religiously affiliated, but I wouldn’t mind going to a Jesuit university.
What would you say are my chances of getting into Gonzaga University and Western Washington University? I want to reach for a WUE scholarship and FACHEX but I’m not sure how I’ll fare, especially knowing how competitive these scholarships are. Please let me know about your thoughts and who I may look into this year!
