hey … I have applied to Lafayette in the early decision 1 (fall 2018) I am currently in my senior year.
ACT ( 27) I know my ACT is bad but I scored 97th percentile on STEM portion.
GPA (4) unweighted
I have very good extra-curricular activities and demonstrated a very good leadership like being elected as the students’ union president and mathematics team president and founder
I took 7 honors in grade 10 and 7 honors in grade 11; our school doesn’t offer AP tests but we use AP as a syllabus
I have very strong recommendation letters.
I participated in many scientific competitions like physics olypmpiad(7th place in my country), ISEF (3rd place in biochemistry) and blast off( 3rd place in robotics)
I created two projects in grade 11 and submitted the poster of each of them to the university
I play football, handball, and volleyball
I am the only one applying from my school and maybe from my country
I will need considerable amount of financial aid
I have a friend who got into bucknell last year with 28 ACT and didn’t have as many as my ECs; this gives me a hope that I have a chance at being accepted.
could you rate my chances?
