<p>I live not far from Notre Dame so I'm applying there in hopes I might be able to attend a fantastic school and still get to stay at home.</p>
<p>I have a 3.95/4.0 (2 B's in geometry freshman year, all A's since) unweighted GPA. I've taken 4/6 AP classes our school offers (well, I guess technically 5, we USED to have AP bio here but I took chem II and now, my senior year, it's gone. I didn't take AP Gov.) Everything else was honors when offered as honors, and I've taken 10 semesters of math (credit from 8th grade algebra) and 10 semesters of science (2 science classes senior year), instead of the norm 8 here. I got a 2030 on the SAT my first time taking it jr year (700 writing, 730 verbal, 600 math.) I took it again and will get my scores on the 28th and math, I hope, will go up, but probably not by a lot. Math is not my forte. Last time I omitted 6 and missed 7. I can't remember if I guessed a lot or not. This year I think I still omitted around 6 but I only recall making a guess once and I had narrowed it down. The other answers I was pretty confident in. Maybe like, a 630? 650? I don't know how that curve works.</p>
<p>My essay is pretty cool. It's just about 3 characteristics of my personality, but it's rather creatively presented. I like it, I hope whoever's reading it at college admissions will too =P</p>
<p>My counselor rec will probably not be so great, but you know, I have a school with over 2000 people. Last year they switched me to a new counselor because one left and they had to readjust.. so this guy barely knows me.</p>
<p>My teacher rec is from my German teacher who's had me for 4 years who I know will write the best things he can about me. He really likes me and he's an intelligent guy so I'm hoping it'll be a good one.</p>
<p>As for extracirriculars, here I suppose I'm kind of lacking. 4 years of German club, senior year I'm secretary, National Honor Society (also secretary), only 25 hours of community service which I did for NHS, 3 years of choir, 2 years of church choir, 4 years of drama club (I won't post it here but I have a pretty nice high school resume.. I was in every show in high school (2 per year) so far, with 2 leads, 2 supporting roles, and 4 small parts). I've also done community theatre every summer since my freshman year.. I've been in 5 community theatre shows. Spell Bowl (it's an Indiana thing, I think) for 3 years, Co-Captain senior year.. we qualified for state jr year. I've been Student of the Month (just something my school does) for Foreign Language twice and science once. I also received an honor as National Exchange Club Student of the Month.</p>
<p>I think that's about it. I guess consider my application as is, and also as if I got between a 630-650 math. Can anyone predict what 6 omitted 1 wrong would be? </p>
<p>thanks:)</p>
