I’m a US citizen who’s lived overseas the past ~8 years, but I’m still technically a VA resident.
Stats and info:
- white female
- SAT: 1480, but I’m retaking soon and hopefully will score higher
Essay: 6/5/8 or 6/6/7, but as far as I understand essay doesn’t matter much?
-GPA: ~4.75-- I’m not sure of the unweighted yet though, it’s mostly As or A-s with a few Bs across the years.
I’m doing the IB diploma. I don’t know how much stock US universities put in predicted grades but I’m guessing it will be mostly 6s with perhaps a few 7s.

Y11-12: volunteering with the NGO Children in Families, Social Media content creation and communications

Essays: this is very subjective so I can’t really say-- I’m generally a strong writer but I don’t really know, decent I hope
