<p>level of hardship: I was in foster care from when I was 9 to when I was 12, after which I was adopted by my grandmother. She died suddenly when I was 15 and I (legally) moved back in with my biological parents.
Not a hardship, but it might be relevant. I completed all my graduation requirements during junior year so that I could take all dual-enrollment classes during senior year. The nearest university is 70 miles away, so I’ll probably be moving in with relatives, which will mean I won’t be able to continue most of the extracurriculars at my high school during senior year.</p>
<p>essay quality and if you’re getting help: I think they’re pretty good, though I’m not really an awesome judge of my own writing.

<p>Mostly soccer (First love) and track and field (regional champs in both, state competitor in track, very difficult events like 300m hurdles… I’m only playing club soccer in college so this shouldn’t be a huge factor) I was a cheerleader for one season. It was fun and I was pretty good, but it wasn’t for me (this led to me falling in love with track 
)
Dad left 5 years ago and before then there was trouble in the house. Was poor for our first 6 years in the US living in Baltimore City. I learned how to read with Elmo and Tigger and my brother was my “private tutor”. We made it out of there once my mom graduated from nursing school and got a job. Won’t get into too much detail, but I’ll say my family is one of those that people never thought would get anywhere.
They were very good in my opinion. I worked on them to perfection. I had basic help from my big brother and AP English teacher. They were true stories written from my heart.
Low performing school. 98% African American. Avg SAT is in the 1200s three part. My 2010 makes me seem untouchable in that school. It’s improving slowly though. It’s also about 10 miles outside of Baltimore City (for those who live in MD, this can give you an idea of the quality)
I’m very inquisitive and love to learn. I like to debate so I enjoy learning a lot about different things. I consider myself smart, and so do my teachers. I love math, science, writing, and robotics. I’m a girl of many many interests.
Leadership Positions:
- That state position
- President of the National Honor Society
- Officer of State Student Councils group
- Captain of Junior Varsity Womens Track and Field team
- Teenage Leader of My Christian teenage group that participates in community outreach programs

Still waiting to hear back from everyone else this coming week… </p>
<p>Put in all I wrote all of this for you and I don’t like putting up my “stats” on this website, but I want to see what you’ll do. Don’t disappoint me!!</p>
<p>A bit curious as to what your methodology is, but I suppose you’re not going to give away any secrets, are you? ;)</p>

<p>My school offers a little over 20 AP courses. My school is a nationally ranked, competitive public high school. ~600 people in my class.
4.0 UW, 5.0 W is theoretically the max possible at my school (although since certain non-honors courses are required, it’s impossible to actually achieve a 5.0)</p>
<p>No community assistance
Not famous 
I’ve never been suspended either, though, so that’s a plus!
Speak English at home, some Urdu</p>
<p>ECs:
Equestrian Team for all four years of high school (JV in 9th - 11th, V in 12th)
Forensic Science Club for four years (Officer in 11th and 12th)
French Honor Society for three years (Officer in 11th only)
I’ve been interning at a vet’s office since 11th grade (~10 hrs/wk during the school year, ~40 hrs/wk during the summer)
Founded a political discussion club with some friends this year
I’ve also been part of a school program for kids interested in STEM fields since 9th grade.</p>
<p>Hardship: My guidance counselor probably talked about my parent’s divorce in her letter, which affected me quite a bit in sophomore and junior years.</p>
<p>My mother makes less than $20k a year, my dad makes about $120k. My mom is the custodial parent.
Mother has an Associate’s from a local Community College. My dad has a Bachelor’s from a large, public US university.</p>
<p>My essays were great overall, imo. I’m not getting any professional help, but my cousin offered to edit them for me and handed them back with no changes (and he does this sort of thing fairly often).</p>
<p>I do well in class overall. To be honest, I’m not sure how I should interpret “scholarly talent,” haha.</p>
<hr>
<p>I’ve already received decisions from some schools, but don’t peek! I want to see if your method is at all accurate. Consider it a challenge. :D</p>
<p>I haven’t really ranked my schools in order of preference before, so this is somewhat arbitrary…
- Yale
- Dartmouth
- Cornell
- Brown
- Williams
- Middlebury
- Bowdoin
8.Grinnell - Rice
- Wash U in St. Louis
- McGill
- Northeastern (Safety)</p>
