Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this. As you can imagine I’m a nervous rising senior and just want to get an idea of where I stand. I go to an extremely competitive school and as a result my GPA isn’t great. I have taken all honors courses, and AP US history my junior year. Next year, I plan to take AP Lit, AP Stats, and AP World History.
As far as extracurriculars, I’ve been involved in marching band for my entire high school career, I’m a member of DECA (we placed 2nd in the state for our event and qualified for internationals in Orlando) and I’ve been an active member of my Boy Scout troop for nearly 6 years. I am currently working on my eagle scout project, and I hope to finish before college apps. Some of my friends and I from boy scouts also started a community service club and we now have branches in schools across the bay. My plans for this summer include: Young Scholars Program at Santa Clara University, and a marketing internship with Induz - a company that provides art education for underprivileged children.
Here are my stats:
GPA - 3.3 unweighted
SAT - 2270
PSAT - 229
(Will take SAT 2 Math in June, hopefully will do well as precalc is one of my strong areas)
My top choices are Santa Clara University, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, Loyola Marymount, University of San Diego, Chapman, UIUC, Cal Poly SLO, Penn State, Boston University, University of British Columbia, and University of Washington.
Will apply to most schools with school of business as top choice, and school of arts and science as second choice.
