Hi. I know there are probably a zillion of these posts on here but anyway.
SAT: M: 760, CR: 780, W: 770
SAT2: World History-730, Biology M-720 (I know they suck)
Class Rank: 1/422
GPA: 3.96? Unweighted (my school uses a different scale so on my transcript I have a 4.71)
Hardest schedule at my school (7 IB classes this year + AP Calc BC. Also full IB Diploma Candidate)
ECs: Captain of Scholastic Bowl, Debate Student Congress Capt, French Club VP and Secretary, Former Youth Group VP, NHS Historian, Philosophy Club Founder and President (started this year), Mural artist for local food pantry, SPCA Volunteer, Hospital Volunteer, & Lit. Magazine Art Editor.
Also heavily focused on art, with a visual arts submission and my common app essay on art.
Honors:
National Latin Exam
Student of the Month
French Honor Society
Quill and Scroll Honor Society
-My other honors were just for having a high GPA or highest grade in certain classes, which my school discontinued so I left them out.
Recs: TOK teacher 10/10. She probably wrote about me delivering speeches to the school board and starting the philosophy club.
Mathematics teacher 10/10. Also scholastic bowl coach and had me for 2 years.
Essay: Common App: 9/10? This is really subjective. My other essays were about the same, too.
AP and IB exams:
5-European History, 5-Comparative Gov’t. My school is IB so not very many AP classes available. Also most IB tests are administered in the senior year, but I’ve taken IB Mathematics SL, which I got a 6.
Planning on majoring in either philosophy or anthropology, or double majoring in both. Columbia doesn’t allow minors but if it did I would minor in the visual arts or art history.
Hooks: ? Not many? White male from the DC suburbs.
