<p>i'm a girl from a competitive fairfield county school... but then again it seems like everyone is from SOME competitive place nowadays</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 UW 4.1 W BUT for my senior year so far I have a 4.16 UW and a 4.75 W which will also be on my transcript
ACT: 32
no class rank</p>

<p>Senior Year Schedule:
AP Politics
AP Psychology
Rhetoric and Composition H
AP Calculus AB
Latin II
Physics H</p>

<p>All honors every other year</p>

<p>I've played two sports ever since freshman year and on varsity for my junior and senior year</p>

<p>I've taken a college class before at UCSD and I got a B</p>

<p>I've traveled abroad to Africa to do community service for 5 weeks and I was participated in a homestay there (and I'm applying as an IR major). I've done some other community service too, but nothing as major as that</p>

<p>I've played piano since 2nd grade, guitar since 7th, and I have very strong recommendations. I also had an interview last week that went REALLY well, the admissions officer basically said I was just like how he was in high school and he also didn't start really working really hard and doing well until his senior year (he graduated in 05), just like me, so he understands my grades. </p>

<p>This isn't everything on my application, but it's close enough.
What do you think?</p>

<p>Your resume is very similar to my older daughter's. Two years ago she applied to Carleton and was wait-listed after showing no interest whatsoever. (No visit, no contact, etc.) I'm not even sure why she applied. Her younger sister, on the other hand, is now a very happy Carleton freshman. Her scores/GPA were slightly higher, but I think more importantly, they liked the interest she showed during the application process. I'm sure they really do notice these things!</p>
