I’m an asian girl (international applicant studying in the US) planning to apply to SCS RD; I’d love it if anyone would chance me!
ACT: 36
SAT II: M2 800, Chem 790
GPA: 93 (100 point scale, school doesn’t rank)
AP: BC Calc, CS A, English Lit, English Lang, Chinese, Music Theory, Chem 5, Euro 4; currently self-studying Phy C
Senior course load: Multivariable calculus, linear algebra, robotics, computer engineering, advanced vocal ensemble, English; all of them are post-AP courses or above (could’ve taken AP Phy C as a course but there was a conflict with chorus)
Extracurriculars in no particular order:
Summer research; was first author of a paper that was submitted to a conference
Founded the school’s CTF team and placed 6th in the first competition we joined
Officer of Programming Club, Co-head of Programming & Head of R&D in FTC team
Secretary/Part leader of school chorus, choral scholar
ABRSM Grade 8 in piano and vocal; Grade 7 in Organ
Vice-chairperson of school drama club in 10th grade
National AP scholar
I was a new junior so grade-wise things are fuzzy - where I came from had completely different grading schemes, so I’m not sure how that’ll factor into their calculation of my GPA.
Thanks so much!
