Senior year classes I’m planning to take:
AP Calc AB
AP US history
IB economics
AP Spanish
AP biology
GPA - 4.0 weighted, 3.8 unweighted
ACT - 31, retaking and hoping for a 32/33
My school doesn’t rank, but I am in the top decile.
I’ve played a varsity sport for all 4 years of high school. I worked a resteraunt job my sophomore year. I am currently working (jr year and sr year) at a retirement home 3x a week. I also volunteer at the emergency room 3x a week. I will have over 100 volunteer hours just from this when I apply. Between my job and volunteering I spend around 25 hours a week helping others. I am a member of Key club and NHS.
I moved in March of my junior year, which explains why I have no leadership positions, along with why I was not tennis captain. I arrived after elections had already occurred, so I I am planning on addressing this on my application. This also explains why my junior year grades were not great - lots of stress!! I will most likely write one of my college essays about moving junior year and how I adapted.
Thank you!
