Hello, I’m asking this question partially to calm some of my pre-application nerves, and partially for a second opinion on if I could potentially be competitive for scholarships, as that would be my primary means of paying for college.
Right now, the highest ranked schools on my list are the University of Richmond, Tulane, and Emory.
I am currently a junior, so anything talking about 4 years is considering what I will continue with next year.
My stats are:
ACT: 34
ACT writing: 11 (out of 12 in case you’re an SAT person)
GPA:
Weighted: 5.19
Unweighted: 4.83
Extracurriculars:
4 years of competitive show choir, will be part of a leading group of senior girls.
4 years of traditional choir, in the most advanced a capella choir for senior year.
Theatrical productions since 2006.
3 years of high school speech team (skipped junior year, will rejoin senior year).
Volunteering:
Will be 1.5 years (come summer after senior year) of volunteering weekly at a local hospital
Will be 1.5 years (same as above) of volunteering with a program for transgender youth.
Involved in volunteer work and mission programs with my church.
Academic Honors:
National Honors Society (junior and senior year)
National Spanish Honors Society (junior and senior year)
I’m looking to apply for additional scholarships as well, but hoping to receive something in the way or merit scholarships. If not, I have schools where merit is more likely (South Carolina, Belmont, Marquette, Alabama).
Thank you so much for any help! I’m honestly just really trying to calm my nerves so I can go into the application process better informed and more confident about my college choices and chances!
