<p>I'm a white, female junior. I go to public school in a wealthy part of New York. My stats:</p>
<p>GPA UW: 3.67 W: 4.13 (our school gives a lot of weight to honors and AP classes, since they are a huge difference from the low caliber regular classes we offer)
SAT's (will take again) CR 640 M 690 W 740
ACT: not taken yet
Biology E SAT II: 680
will take SAT II's in Literature and Math II as well
Junior year AP's : French, US History, Macroeconomics (no scores yet)
The rest of my classes were honors
Next year's schedule: AP English, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, AP Calc AB, AP Euro, Civic Internship</p>
<p>EC's: band (four years total, including two years of by audition-only Wind Ensemble and two years as leader of sax section) and editor of the band newsletter (yes, we have one)
Key Club, four years
National Honor Society
Big Buddy (helping out freshmen, etc.)
newspaper, one year as managing editor, next year editor-in-chief</p>
<p>i would be officer of more clubs, but many of them require that you not be an officer for any other clubs (bogus, in my opinion...)</p>
<p>schools: Colby, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, Lafayette, Dickinson, Wesleyan, Vassar, Union, Oberlin, Kenyon, Dartmouth (VERY reachy, i'm aware)</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I'll just talk about the schools I know about...</p>
<p>Swarthmore: Also very reachy, in my opinion. Remember that the % accepted is lower for girls than the total % accepted at Swat. Your essays are going to have to be strooooooong. Do an interview. And they're really really big on passion and love for learning. If there is something you really LOVE or love studying, then write about it.</p>
<p>I had slightly stronger numbers (3.92 UW GPA... not sure what it is weighted), and judging just from that list, I had slightly stronger ECs. I was rejected ED at Swat and waitlisted at Vassar. To be honest, I think your GPA is lower than the batch of accepted students from CC, but I also don't know it in the context of your school- do you know your rank?</p>
<p>Depending on your major and how much you like Swat, you could also consider Haverford or Bryn Mawr.</p>
<p>I also forgot to post that I've been a Girl Scout since first grade, and am a candidate for receiving my Gold Award (I've done all the preliminaries, but probably won't have time to complete the project) I spend my summers working as a counselor at a girl scout camp. not sure if that would change anthing...</p>
<p>as for my rank, i know that i'm in the top 10% of my class. other than that, I'm not sure.</p>
