Hi! I am currently a high school junior and I would love someone’s analysis on how likely I am to getting into these schools. I’m actually leaning towards Clemson right now becuase I fell in love with the campus and overall feel. However, I live in NC near Charlotte, so out of state tuition is crazy high for my family, but we still don’t qualify for financial aid. I also really like Chapel Hill but I know it is so hard to get into. (I’m a Caucasian female by the way)
-test scores:
ACT- 31
SAT- don’t have scores back yet, but I feel like I did a little better than the ACT
-classes:
freshman yr- honors geometry, honors english 1, honors bio, honors world history, spanish 2, art
sophomore yr- honors trig, honors english 2, honors chem, AP earth science, honors civics, honors spanish 3, art
junior yr- honors pre calc, honors english 3, AP psych, AP bio, American history 1 & 2 (duel enrollment at a community college), honors physics, honors art
senior yr- planning to take all honors classes and 3 APs
I have gotten all A’s for every class so far, so my weighted GPA for all 3 years combined is around a 4.85, I’m not sure what it would be unweighted
Extracurriculars:
-Varsity cheer (all of high school)
-summer swim team
-coach summer swim team (job)
-ifegaurd (job)
-coach a cheerleading team (volunteer)
-National Honor Society, Math Honor Society, and Art Honor Society
-editor of the sports page in Media Club
-ambassador for a girls leadership/service organization
-active in church youth group and sunday school leader
-100 service hours each year
I am part of other clubs (beta club & spirit club) but if I don’t hold any leadership positions are they worth mentioning?
I would LOVE to get a scholarship to Clemson so out of state tuition is cheaper, anything I can do to make that happen? Also thoughts on my chances of even getting in there or at Capel Hill?
Thanks so much!
