School: College of Arts & Sciences
ACT: 31 (super-scored 32) essay 10

Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): I feel like it’s really bad when I compare it too other people’s on CC unweighted GPA (no one has a 4.0 in my school… at least no one in advanced classes), but our school weights it so its different. Not really sure what it is unweighted BUT i mostly get A’s and B’s in AP classes.

Ethnicity: hispanic (immigrant parents)

I think my essays were good! and my course load (I’ve always taken all the highest possible classes offered at my school)
I feel like my test scores were low, especially when everyone on CC says they got a perfect score.(ACT not really focusing on my SAT since I’m not sending that in anywhere… besides here which was an accident) </p>

<p>Overall I’m really happy and glad I’ve been accepted, now I can relax. I’m waiting (anxiously) to hear back from Notre Dame, then various other schools in April (wake forest, vanderbilt, georgetown, UMiami, tufts and rice and probably some other reaches!. To everyone who was deferred don’t lose hope! There’s still a chance! Things tend to happen for a reason, but in the end everything works out! To everyone else accepted congrats!!</p>
