Momof2back2back · December 11, 2013, 5:33pm

DECISION: ACCEPTED

Objective: (info being written by mom not daughter)

SAT I (breakdown): 2240 SuperScore: 790 CR, 770 WR, 680 Math
SAT II: 800 English Lit; 780 Spanish
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): school does not rank but in top 3
AP (place score in parenthesis): 5s in AP Engl, AP Span, AP Env Sci, 3 in AP Chem
(school limits sophomores to 1 AP, juniors to 3 and seniors to 4 APs)
Senior Year Course Load: AP Span Lit, AP Bio, AP Calc, AP Human Geo, Bilingual Public Health, English 12
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Natl Merit Commended Scholar. Girl Scouts Gold Award

Subjective:

Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Captain- Varsity soccer (All-League 3 years, League Champs 3 years); club soccer top team 5 years; track, too many too list
Job/Work Experience: Tutors an ADHD girl 2 hrs/wk 3 years
Volunteer/Community service: Over 620 hours in high school, variety of non profits
Summer Activities: I don’t want to list too much because it will identify her but she had depth and leadership and initiative in several organizations that goes back many years (rather than just a single year or two)
Essays: Common App showed uniqueness; Suppl showed heart, it was the better
Teacher Recommendation: the best part of our high school; very personal, similar themes tying all 3 recs while each included a unique story of the rec person and my D
Counselor Rec: see above
Additional Rec:
Interview: yes, went well
Supplementary Material: none outside of resume

Other

State (if domestic applicant):Calif
School Type: Private, small (class of about 60)
Ethnicity: White
Gender:Female
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Legacy (dad)

Reflection

Strengths: everyone has high grades & test scores; I think my D’s strength was her “package” – she has been into public health and diversity since she was in elem school; everything she has been involved with since reflects back onto those themes - along with the classes she chose to take in high school (e.g., AP Bio instead of the more “rigorous” AP Physics; AP Span Lit instead of AP Engl Lit)
Weaknesses: Math 680 (she took the test in Mar of junior year but after many practice tests, never got above this; some people told her to keep studying and try again but she said she was done & if a school didn’t like her for that, too bad – this acceptance shows you that it isn’t a single SAT section score…)
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: unique, authentic person with a clear “story” that went beyond strong grades & test scores
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Applied ED

Wow. I don’t know what to say, guys. Two hours before the deadline I was still frantically going over my essay and now I’m here I procrastinated that much. Looking back, though, maybe the constraint of time actually helped. I didn’t — couldn’t — overedit, and my writing sounded honest enough.
