Claremont McKenna

Little history about little old me…

I am in the top 6% of my school, its pretty competitive.
W Academic 9-12: 4.06 UW Academic 9-12: 3.87
W Total 9-12: 4.05 UW Total :3.89
W10-12: 4.1364 UW 10-12: 3.86

I am only a junior so my gpa will be rising because I am taking 4 IB classes my senior year.

IB Classes Junior Year: PreCal A+, Spanish 3 B/A (my grade went up second semester), English 3 A
IB Classes Senior Year: Calculus AB, English 4, Environmental Systems, Psychology

SAT SCORES:
1800-1900

Note: I dont know if I should take Calculus AB or BC (BC is more advanced)… I am good at math but don’t want to be too stressed out senior year as I hope to get a job. Or should I take the class to show an area of expertise, although English is my best subject?)

I have been in the Ag/Sci Academy in my school for four years. This is basically a school within a school. I have had to take classes that were labeled “pre-IB Ag/Sci”. I have also finished a senior project which involves the Innocence Project (has to do with the law/ court system).

I volunteer at a local library and help the little kids there and sometimes read with the. I have over 75 hours there.

I am in the CSF Club at my school and am also in a Book Club at my school. I plan to create a club senior year with a friend.

I am in Mock Trial this summer and have been placed as a first year attorney. (Leadership Position)

I also volunteer (minimally) at the local pet shelter. 15 hours here

I plan to begin volunteering at my local Boys & Girls Club.

I have job shadowed at Farmers Insurance which had to do with accidents and legal finances.

Played softball freshman year.

What can I do to make my chances of getting into Claremont McKenna greater? It is super super selective but I hope that my interest in ECs show that I may belong there. There are no volunteer opportunities at my local city hall, which would be awesome if there were.

If I read this correctly, you have a (projected?) SAT of 1800-1900. This would put you below the 25th percentile for test scores. Your grades and ECs look fine, but get those scores up! Maybe try the ACT as well, or just study up and try to break 2000 on the SAT

yes, that is projected! I will be receiving my scores in 3 days… I honestly have no clue what I will be getting so I just ball-parked my guess. I will attempt to break the 2000, thank you!

I received a 1900 flat on my SAT! I will try to raise it up 100+ points when I take it for the second time in the fall of senior year!
