Hi! I’m a California senior and all replies are welcome, be honest!
My college list:
USC, UCLA, and UCSD. Those are the ones that I am looking into the most, but I might also apply to UCR (safety), UCI, San Francisco State, and Boston University. I’ve also contemplated UCSC and Brown (this is an out of ball park reach for me though).
Intended Major:
This is dependent upon the school I go to, I want to major in biology or human biology.
Stats:
US Citizen, Female, Hispanic/Latina (Mexican)
Rank 19/451 (top 5% and it would be higher but I am in a special program that prevents us from being higher)
Weighted GPA is 4.214
Unweighted GPA is 3.905 (Honors Pre-calc was rough)
Passed every AP test i’ve taken (4 in AP Lang, 3 for APHG, APUSH, APWH)
Intend on taking AP Gov, AP Lit, and AP Calc AB tests this year
Courses are mostly honors or advanced, since they don’t offer APs to freshmen, I also have courses like principles of biomedical science, microbiology, sports medicine, medical terminology, and Honors Anatomy and Physiology. I also took Intermediate Spanish 1 at a nearby community college.
SAT: taking again in November, but 1370, 690 EBRW and 680 Math
Extracurriculars (with slight description):
I’d like to note that I have been in these for all four years.
Health and Medical Careers Academy- a program that affects our courses and gears us towards the medical field. I am on the exec board for the academy (coordinator for a program w/in program).
Interact- Rotary’s child, we do community service. I was VP last year and President this year.
Student Leadership/ASB- We plan events for the school, deal w community service, staff appreciation, special needs, etc. I am in charge of my asb class, we have six. NOT ASB president, to clarify. I was in charge of ASB Blood Drives and community service last year.
UNICEF- Raise money for UNICEF foundation. I was treasurer last year, VP this year.
National Honor Society- Just in it, we do community service.
California Scholarship Federation- honestly, we don’t do much, but I’m in it.
HOSA, Future Health Professionals- we study/practice to compete at a convention. no role, just in it.
Extra:
HSF (Hispanic Scholarship Fund) Scholar- attended the youth leadership institute
My Campus Participant- partook in Loma Linda University program
Athletic Training Internship- connected to school, but I have around 100 hours
Life Care Center Internship- I start next month, but I will have well over 50 hours (it’s a senior living center)
LoR:
Counselor- 10/10 (she’s also my advisor for Interact so we’re close)
I’m handing out requests tomorrow to three or four teachers that will rate me well because they have known me four years and I spend time with them out of class.
I think that this was relatively thorough, but feel free to ask questions! Or feel free to suggest universities (preferably not religious).
