Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate it if y’all could chance me for Columbia.
I am a senior at a small private school in Addison, Texas.
In my second semester of junior year, however, I attended high school in Dobbs Ferry, New York, which is just an hour’s train ride from Manhattan. It was here in New York that I fell in love with the city and decided that I wanted to spend my college life there.
Without further ado, here are my stats:
(My school does not rank, and does not weigh GPA)
GPA: 3.7
ACT Score: 35 (with a 12 on writing)
High Honor Roll all four years of high school
Senior Class Load: AP Calculus AB, AP Literature, AP Biology, Advanced Latin, Struggles for Independence, Sociology
Extracurriculars: Literary Magazine member (10-12), captain of golf team (12), founder of Wildlife and Birding Club (12), Latin Club (9-12)
Job Experience: 100 Hours at California Chicken Cafe, 100 (and counting) hours at Round Rock Honey, 200 hours at Barbara Cobb Brim Couture
Volunteering: Senior volunteer at Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, SPCA of Dallas, tutor at Tom C. Gooch Elementary School
Summer Activities: Volunteering at wildlife rehab center, beekeeping and honey sales at local farmers markets, golf tournaments around the US
Essays: wrote about birdwatching as a transformative sanctuary that is available everywhere
Recs: really really good
I’m super interested in ornithology and birdwatching, and I really want to pursue this sometime in the future. I am also in love with the city of New York.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
