I am applying to the School of Foreign Service from a Jesuit high school. I have a 3.34 GPA and 31 on the ACT, have taken AP Comparative Government(5) and AP Language(4) and am taking AP English and AP European History. I am awful in STEM- my GPA for only humanities subjects is a 4.05.
My interview went well, we talked for about an hour and the interviewer and I volunteer for the same congressional campaign. My essays and my recommendations are excellent. My essays are on politics, how I became confident of my own voice, and a global issue that isn’t totally main stream and I have a personal connection to. My recommendations are from a candidate I worked for, and my AP Comparative Government and AP Language and Composition teachers.
As for extracurriculars, I am the Secretary-General of my school’s Model United Nations team(one of the best teams in the country), an editor of the school newspaper, volunteer with a hunger non profit, have organized voter registration drives at my school, and most of all, am very politically active. I volunteered during the 2016 election, have interned during the 2018 primary and general elections for different candidates. My biggest time commitment is the political organization I am on the national executive board of. I was elected by organization members and spend about 80% of my non-school time doing work for the organization.
I am a Caucasian female from an urban area.
Do I have a shot?
