schools: safety is Michigan State, primarily hoping for LSA UMich Ann Arbor (in-state applying EA), or George Washington if i get a good scholarship. reaches and extreme reaches are UCLA, Fordham, Notre Dame, Barnard, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon, maybe Georgetown just because i used my ap free score sends on it in 10th and 9th grade lmao
major: double-majoring in some sort of criminal justice and english/creative writing, maybe a philosophy minor
demographics: cishet female, asian (indian), second generation living in michigan, competitive-ish high school, 100-150k income bracket
ap classes/scores:
freshman year ; ap world history (5)
sophomore year ; ap psychology (5) / apush (5)
junior year ; ap us government (5) / ap literature (5) / ap language (4) / ap macro (4) / ap micro (4) / ap calc ab (4) / ap physics (2 – going to cancel this)
senior year ; dual enrolling in shakespearean literature, criminal investigation, russian literature, and international relations, also taking ap statistics
stats: 4.027/5.0 W (my school disregards +s and -s when calculating gpa), dunno my UW but i got a c in ap calculus both semesters junior year w/ mostly As and a couple Bs throughout hs, 1430 SAT superscore but i’m retaking it & expecting a 1500-20 based on recent practice tests. i think my UW was a 3.0 (yikes) specifically for the first semester of junior yr but it picked up a bit in sem 2, took a full year of APs junior year
extracurriculars: prez of model un (12th), vice prez (11th) & secretary (10th) , co-president of social justice club and co-founder (11th and 12th), admitted into the umich syd program (6% acceptance rate at my hs), debate team (9th), secretary of forensics team (9th), science olympiad (5-8, 11-12), won second in an essay competition w/ 3 high schools, ap scholar w honour, also nhs 11th and 12th
LORs i got a pretty good letter from my AP Macro-Micro teacher, and I’m expecting a very good letter from my AP English teacher (since I took AP Lang and AP Lit in the same year and had her for both classes). probably going to ask my model un advisor for a letter, maybe going to get one from my social justice club advisor
essays unfortunately in the process of rewriting all of them. i’m a pretty strong writer w/ good command of language, though, so i don’t think they’ll be an issue.
