I saw that they were no threads yet, so i decided to start one. I am an international from Nigeria in Africa. Let the discussions begin!
Hi i have applied to connecticut as well.
International applicant
UW GPA: 3.91
Decent ECs
SAT 2s: Math 1 720 Physics 700
Any idea when decisions come out?
@Braveheart53 Naah, i have no idea
I think sometime around 24-28th March.
Anyone mind sharing stats, just to know what the pool looks like
Here is mine
RD International from Nigeria, Africa.
SAT: Test optional
Unweighted Rank 2/50 (school doesnt weigh rank)
Unweighted GPA 4.76/5(school doesnt weight) would have had higher GPA and maybe will have been valedictorian but in 9th grade i was in the middle rank of my class, but in tenth grade, first semester something clicked and i jumped right to 3rd rank and i maintained an upward trend between 2nd and first rank semester after semester but more on the first rank, and your 9th grade counts to being a valedictorian so i ended up 2nd not far behind the 1st ranked student(sorry for the babble)
Went to competitive elite private school (highest gpa in class is 4.79)
School doesnt offer AP or IB classes
EC’s: really high rank in student government, i had an assistant(2 yrs) , house captain(2yrs), hockey captain(3yrs), athletics captain(2 years), first team soccer member(2.5 years as first team, 2.5 year as super substitute), treasurer of community service group(2 yrs), a lot of athletics and soccer medals, internship at IBM(sort of), volunteered to teach a group of non English speakers English. Co president mathematics club(2 years), provost JETS/ICT club(2 years), president of LEGO group(lego group was disbanded in 11th grade tho, lol)(2 years),
Major awards: science olympiads(biology and physics), International gifted academy award, had the highest score in AMC 12A in the state in my country where i wrote it.
And lots of in school and interschool science awards and lots and lots of athletic and soccer awards and medals
Weaknesses: huge financial aid needed, and i mean huge
Strengths: strong athlete(track and field), soccer player, hockey player…( i wasn’t recruited, never knew it existed, but in my application and resume it is duly stated), EC’s(i guess), Leadership( i guess), did the 5 mins optional video/interview.
