@ap01299 An internship is a great idea, thanks! Cumulative GPA unweighted is 4.0, 4.8 weighted. My ACT changed pretty radically. Math: 36 English: 35 Reading: 33 Science: 30 (English went up 7 because I studied grammar rules, Science went down 5 for unknown reason, Reading went up 2.)
@highschooler507 No problem! Like I said, focus on those things that I told you about. It will benefit you in the long run. And again, (a warning about the Ivies), make sure that you can guarantee yourself a high GPA and significant opportunities if you choose to go. Tread carefully.
@highschooler507 Also: ditto to what other people said about using your ECs to fluff your resume. That’s not what ECs are supposed to be about. You need sustained ECs in areas that you’re passionate about. It’s one thing to hop from one EC to the next. It’s another to stick to one or two ECs for the long term and complete a significant project. Quality > quantity
