Tufts and UPenn are my top two schools right now but I can’t tell if I even have a shot at Penn.
Stats:
97 unweighted gpa (my school is weird doesn’t do the 4.0 scale)
ranked around 10/450 in my class (once again, my school is weird so I don’t exactly know)
32 ACT (35 english, 33 math, 33 reading, 27 science-ugh) will take it again in June and I’m pretty confident I can get a 34 on my own and with Superscore for sure. Both schools Superscore
Taking subject tests in US, Math and Spanish-will hear back soon but will most likely get 700+ in all of them
AP tests: hopefully get a 4 or 5 on both, my school does pretty well with those
Classes:
school only offers 3 APs junior year- i took APUSH and AP Lang but otherwise take all honors classes except for physics
Senior year classes: BC calc, AP lit, AP euro, AP macro, AP spanish (dropping science and doubling up on history bc I am not into it at all)
ECs/awards:
3 years varsity basketball-2 years JV and voted captain as a freshman
Started my own basketball clinics in town and have made thousands through this
Was the youngest counselor to be hired for the summer camp that I work at (camp director found me through my business)
2 year Editor-in-Chief of award-winning newspaper (Scholastic competition)
president of String Buddies where I teach an elementary school orchestra
Section leader of school orchestra and chamber orchestra
Area all state violinist
President of Midnight Run club
National Honors Society and Music Honors Society
Recs:
APUSH teacher will probably write me a good one. We did these mock trials in class and she made me a lawyer which is a pretty big deal at my school
AP Lang teacher will also write a pretty good one because he is the advisor of the newspaper and I know him very well
Guidance counselor not really sure. I don’t know her too well and she’s known for being the worst one at my school.
Other info
I go to a pretty big public school in the suburbs of NYC but it’s one of the best in the state
