SCHOOL
--4.411/4.5W, 3.93UW
--5 AP courses Senior year, others are honors
--taken two APs since (out of the 4 that school offered to sophomores/juniors), USH-4, LANG-4

--Business Courses (probably taken 70% of available business courses at school)
TEST SCORES
--SAT I: 660CR, 780M, 720W (2160). I plan to retake in october.
--ACT: 30R, 36M, 34E, 33S (33). I also plan to retake this
--SAT II: 750 Math 2, 700 USH, 620 World History. I took world history because there were no others I felt comfortable with. I plan to retake subject tests, and take french instead of world history.
--PSAT: 195
ECs & other
--FBLA (major time consumer for me): after senior year, will have been member 4 yrs, officer 3 yrs, president 1yr out of those 3. ALSO secretary of the region for 1yr. I have won countless awards. Many are just certificates, but I have won around 8 actual AWARDS.
--NHS member for 2yrs

(it is difficult to take leadership positions in multiple clubs because you go to the club's homeroom, and many clubs discourage running if you cannot be in that homeroom)

--Have helped at 6 red cross blood drives, in charge of volunteers at 1
--Have helped with 2 IU parties hosted by NHS

<p>Your EC and GPA are good. But your SAT 2 isn’t very good. Your EC shows you volunteered alot, might give you an edge over another EC application.</p>

3

<p>really? i was hoping my ECs were good enough. that was my main worry. because i know i can pull up my test scores.</p>

4

<p>You are good as in. You might want to omit World History SAT2. Upenns ED is 30%. You are highly qualified in my opinion. But do not think of this as optimism. Your SAT 2 scores could be improved. Your EC’s are quanitity over quality. Theres too much EC’s.</p>

<p>Your a low match.</p>

5

<p>I will definitely omit the World History sat. and I am going to leave out some of the ECs because some dont make sense with my profile.</p>

6

<p>anyone else??</p>

7

<p>Your app is decent, but the problem is nothing really stands out. Most people who apply will have been president/founder of a club, won some awards. What makes you different/better?</p>

<p>that is another thing that worried me. i want to create a club in school but it is really hard to gain approval for a new club and then to find an advisor who is available to watch over it. just the conditions are hard to get around. and i regret missing the opportunity to win some awards. the only thing i could hope for was sticking to what i was passionate about (in my case, FBLA, which i feel is my own club at this point, i have shaped my chapter so much) and making the most out of it.</p>
