<p>White male from Florida</p>

<p>Independent high school, best in the county</p>

<p>WGPA = 4.2</p>

<p>Class Rank: Just outside top 10% (6/57), but school doesn't report rank or any means of estimating rank.</p>

<p>SAT I = 2210 (750 CR, 720 M, 740 W)
SAT II: 770 US History, 760 Math II</p>

<p>PSAT National Merit Semi-Finalist (so far)</p>

<p>ACT= 32</p>

<p>AP Tests taken so far: 5 on US Government, 5 on Comparative Government, 5 on US History.</p>

<p>AP Tests to be taken this year: AP Calc BC, AP Statistics, AP European History, AP World History, AP English Literature, AP English Language</p>

<p>ECs:
- Model UN: 4 years, president this year, several awards, international competitions
- Mock Trial: 3 years, president this year, district 2nd place, lead attorney
- Philosophy club: President and co-founder (I discuss philosophy a lot in my essay)
- National Honor Society: 3 years
- Class Vice President: sophomore year
- School Vice President: senior year
- Yearbook: 2 years, cover artist, graphic designer</p>

<p>My schedule this year is definitely the most rigorous of any senior at my school, but rigor during freshman and sophomore years was average to slightly above average (this happened because I changed from a public school to a private school right before 9th grade, basically making me ineligible for more rigorous classes during freshman and sophomore years). That is probably the biggest downside to my app.</p>

<p>Essay demonstrates my passion for philosophy. The quality of my writing is pretty solid.</p>

<p>Letters of rec, from what I can tell, are excellent.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are good, you have a great senior schedule, and you are deeply involved in multiple ECs. I don’t see a reason for you not to get in.
I’m sure UVA will appreciate the growth in your transcript.</p>

<p>This is so weird, i think we’re identical. It’s like I’m reading my own profile: White male, alabama, private school, top 5%, 32 ACT, MUN for four years and president this year, also transferred from a public to private school with same 9th/10th grade course ineligibility issues, mostly same AP’s and scores, NHS for 3 years, strong writing, also applying to UVa…</p>
