I’m a current high school junior, and with one year left before applying to college, I was wondering how I could improve. I am looking at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, UPenn, Ga Tech, and UGA(Safety).
Objective:
SAT I: 1550 (770 M, 780 CR + W)
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.9
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 5/626
Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis):
- FBLA(Treasurer) - won awards and organized schoolwide student/faculty events to raise money for the club.
- Robotics - This is a very time-consuming EC and I enjoy being on the programming team. Currently, I contribute to developing the code and debugging it for the robot. Only seniors are allowed to hold leadership in the club, but I have a strong chance at becoming captain of the programming team in senior year.
- Science Bowl- We are a very small team with no leadership, and we have won regional awards.
- Interact(Historian, Treasurer) - organize servic projects within the school and community
- I’m in a couple other clubs(HOSA, Beta, NHS), but my involvement isn’t strong enough to put on an app.
Volunteer/Community service: Tutoring students in algebra, Volunteering at the local hospital and library, NHS/Beta/Interact stuff, altogether about 150 hours so far.
Summer Activities: Internship at a genetics lab at Emory University in the summer of sophomore year, hope to do something similar next summer.
