Here is the list of colleges that I have applied to (loosely ranked by interest):
- Barnard
- Swarthmore
- Haverford
- Bryn Mawr
- Dickinson
- Gettysburg
7.Franklin & Marshall - Colby
I have a 97.31 GPA weighted. I’m not sure what unweighted is but it is still an A. I am 18th in my class out of 250 (top 10%), but the class total drops weekly so that number might go down.
Superscored, I have an 2140 on the SAT, with CR:730, M: 660, and W: 750. On my list, for colleges 1-4, I sent the score of 2140, for colleges 5-8, I sent the score of 2060. Right now I plan on taking SAT IIs in January, and I will be taking 2 or 3 exams (US History, Literature, or Math 1 or 2.) I am studying really hard, even more than AP tests, so I should do fairly well because I usually do well without studying.

I am really pleased with my common app essay, and my recommendations are also pretty good, with two being written by AP teachers that know me really well and one by my guard coach of 6 years. My supplemental essay for Dickinson is not my best piece of writing. The Dickinson essay was optional, and I feel like I have a really good intro for it, and the rest is coherent. I feel confident in saying that my Swarthmore, Barnard, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr supplemental essays are some of the best things I have ever written, and I went through them with my AP teacher and he was very pleased with them.
Thank you in advanced for your input.
