I’m a freshman in Indiana and I want to apply for IASMH next year.
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Income: 50k
GPA: 3.89 UW right now, probably will go up to a 3.94+ after this year
SAT: Right now I’m practicing around a 1190, but that will hopefully go up to a 1300+ after Algebra 2 and studying this year- I’m taking it in June
Extracurriculars:
Basketball- 4 years, I’m not very good but I work very hard, almost certainly JV starter or 6th man
Track- 3 years, I’m pretty decent, I’m going to be on Varsity, I was 8th in the conference championship last year and I won a bunch of 2nd and 3rd place ribbons at almost every meet- I throw shot and disc. I’ve been lifting so there’s a chance I’ll throw 95-100+ feet this year
Key Club- I’m going to join the Key Club this year
Student Council- I’m almost certainly doing Student Council, and I don’t have a doubt in my mind that I will be Class President or the highest position I can hold in my grade. I don’t mean to be cocky but genuinely the entire grade has told me they’d vote for me.
Spanish Club- I do this during my homeroom/activity period every Wednesday.
Tutoring- Last year I tutored a 6th grade boy in all of his subjects, I’m probably going to list this because it was a few hours twice a week and I created lesson plans and stuff for him.
NJHS- This is also from last year, I’m not sure if I should put it down. I was NJHS President and I ran all of the meetings, created plans and fundraisers for the chapter, etc.
Church softball team- I’m on my church’s adult league softball team. I’m no good but it is incredibly fun and I spend a few nights a week on games.
Cross country- I did cross country for 2 years in middle school (7th and 8th grade). I don’t know if I’ll say anything about this because I’m not doing it in high school
Geography Team- I was the captain of my school’s Geography Team last year. We got 2nd in conference, I only missed 1 question myself which was best in the competition
Summer Job- I work with my dad every summer, about 40 hours a week. He lays floor, I help hand him tools and clean up after him.
Classes:
9th grade-
Tech and English 9 (gifted class)
Spanish 2
Algebra 2 Advanced
Environmental Science (upperclassman class)
Theater Arts 1/Physical Education
Biology 1
10th grade-
AP English Language and Composition
AP US History
Either Pre-Calculus or AP Calculus AB, I don’t know if I’ll take Pre-Calc over the summer
AP Computer Science Principles
Chemistry 1
Health Education/Advanced Theater Arts
Spanish 3
I passed my Algebra 1 final with a 96.
I’ve taken everything Honors when applicable, but that’s only English and Mathematics.
I think I’m top 10 starting freshman year, I definitely will be by the end though, I had a B in Spanish 1 which is dragging me down but that was in 8th grade and I’ve got 1 and like a fourth of a year to bring that up.
My recommendations should be really good, my teachers all like me and so does the guidance counselor. I expect them to be at least an 8/10 and up.
I’m going to work really hard on my essays, hopefully I can do really well on them and obviously if I do that’d be a big boost.
Please chance me at the start of my freshman year. I understand I still have a year before I apply but it’d make me feel better to know if I’m on the right track!
