<hr>

<p>Dartmouth/ Penn/ Vanderbilt/ Cornell/ BU/BC
2110 on SAT
4.2 GPA at rigorous private school
will graduate with 10 APs </p>

<p>A plethora of serivce activities that I have been devoted to since the 9th grade
-which shows consistency and commitment
-have won awards for my humanitarian acts that vary and have outreached to not only local members of my community but also people from foreign countries</p>

<p><em>**Parent died while in 11th grade, but parents were divorced prior to ones death - kept grades up in the face of this misfortune
*</em>*First generation college student</p>

<p>From central florida</p>

<p>Your academic stats are Ivy material, transcript is superb, and EC’s look great! The hooks of 1st generation and your personal story should really help:</p>

<p>Dartmouth: Reasonable Reach
UPenn: Reasonable-BIG Reach (OK to have a long shot)
Vanderbilt: Match-Reach
Cornell: Low-Reasonable Reach
BC: Safety-Match
BU: In</p>

<p>Hope this helps!!</p>
