<p>Please chance my daughter for Elon admissions and Honors or Business Fellows:</p>
<p>Chicago area non-minority female
GPA: 3.95 UW, 4.53 W (HS gives +1.0 for honors and AP)
ACT: 29,29,33, superscore is 33, will have to send one of the 29's along with the 33 because she didn't take the writing portion with the 33 (10 on writing). Did not take SAT.
Class rank: school doesn't rank
Courses: Mostly honors except for regular English all 4 years (she's not a fan of writing but she will need to get over that!) and regular Hist and Bio freshman year (still upset with her junior high for poor high school placement recommendations her freshman year, she totally aced regular Hist and Bio!). Taking 3 APs this year - BC Calc, Psych and Spanish Language.
ECs: Mostly service-oriented. Tutor inner-city kids once a week - 4 years with co-chair position 2 years, tutor in HS learning center - 2 years, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer crew - 1 year, Interact Club (service club with various projects like beach cleanup, blood drive, etc.) - 2 years, hip hop dance club - 2 years (frosh & soph), Spanish honors society (plans cultural events), NHS. Nothing outstanding - no athletics, arts, academic ECs.
Employment: She will have some sort of business internship this year through HS, not sure of details yet. PT program assistant / swim instructor with park district special education program during the school year, FT camp counselor over the summer.
Essay: As I mentioned above, she's not a fan of writing. She has selected the topic but hasn't started the essay yet. Now she's waiting until they discuss "The College Essay" in English class. I'm sure it will be fine, but not sure it will be stand-out.
Intended major: Business
