Hi! I just applied ED1 to Wesleyan today and I am very, very nervous!
here’s a little information about me:
White female from NYS,
33 ACT (36 E, 36 R, 32 S, 29 M)
93.37 GPA (eeeeek),
1st person in the 3rd decile (but at a very small, very overachieving HS)
Subject tests: 740 World History, waiting on literature
Will graduate with 10 APs, 2 Honors (English 11 Honors, French 4 Honors) and 2 Dual Credit courses (Syracuse U Project Advance US History and English). I have 5 years of math (taking non-AP calc this year; math is very difficult for me) 5 years of lab science, and 4 years of French. I am in my school’s science research program as well.
Scores:
AP World History (self-study) - 4
AP Human Geography (self-study) - 4
AP US Gov (self-study) - 4
AP Comparative Gov (self-study) - 5
AP Environmental Science - 5
Taking this year:
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
AP Biology
AP Psychology
AP Euro
Extracurriculars- Co-president of Model UN, president of the Quiz Bowl team that won Small School nationals in 2017, started a civic engagement club in 11th grade after having an incredibly eye-opening experience shadowing New York State legislators for 4 days, singer-songwriter, high school theater, an intern for local county executive campaign.
Recommendations: sending my SUPA US history teacher, my English 11 Honors teacher, and my Science Research/APES teacher, who have been three incredibly influential mentors in my life, and will probably write me good recommendations
Essay - about how I’m a geography nerd and this pushed me to join the quiz bowl team, which broadened my academic exploration. Probably pretty good, not exceptional?? I don’t even know anymore!
Sending you all love and positivity through this process!
