**My favorite extra activity I have done (not sure if its an EC) is a social media project I created anonymously to serve as a base for students in my (highly competitive) school to compliment people they were afraid to compliment in real life. It was a huge hit and gained over 100 followers in one day, and 100+ compliments were posted. Wrote a couple of my essays on this as well.

Service: Haven’t totaled this yet, but i would approximate ~70 hours

Rec letters: One from English teacher, one from Calc teacher. 9 and 7 ratings respectively.

I know my GPA isn’t great and I definitely know this is a weak point in my application. Also my affluence can’t help much either, lol. I’m also applying to Providence, William and Mary, and Northeastern.

Thank you in advance!

Match for Villanova, maybe a low reach for Dartmouth and Georgetown, and a match for bc and notre dame. I’d say a little bit lacking in clubs though. Chance me back please

Your UW GPA isn’t bad. In fact, if your essays are good you have just as much a chance of getting into BC, Georgetown, dartmouth, and notre dame as someone with a 4.0UW. You had a bunch of APs so dont forget admissions officers take course rigor into account. Villanova is a match imo.

Senior also applying to georgetown.

BC, Nova, and (to an extent) Notre Dame are all matches. Georgetown is a low reach, but not at all unreasonable. Dartmouth is a reach school most likely.

Your scores and EC’s look the same as or better than the people I know who’ve gone to William and Mary, so your odds are probably pretty good. IIRC they’re pretty expensive for out-of-state though.
