This is one of the choices I’ve been considering for awhile and I’m not super sure whether I could get in. My merits seem to be pretty solid in general but just below average from what I’ve heard for Miami.
GPA: 3.75/3.63/3.70 for freshman, sophomore and junior year
SAT: superscore 1380 (750 Eng; 630 Math)
WGPA: 5.15
AP Courses: Government, Computer Science Principles, World History, US History, English Lang, Chinese 5- (next year) Chinese 6, English Lit, Human Geography and likely Euro.
EC (what I consider the weaker part of my merits):
-Chinese Culture Club 2 years (so far)
-Mock Congress 1 year (so far)
-Model UN 1 year (so far)
-Editor on the school paper 1 year so far (have been on the paper since freshman year)
-Quill & Scroll Honor Society
-Chinese Honor Society
(Potentially some more honor societies based on next years inductions)
So what do you think? Yay or nay? If RD seems unlikely do you think I’d be more competitive EA/ED? Any feedback is appreciated!
