By the end of my senior year I’ll have completed around 12 AP’s and 3 classes at an actual campus during a school year (I ran out of math classes to take at school :(( ). I have a 35 ACT (retaking in June) and won a national award for language study, although my GPA is a bit lacking at 3.85 unw and 4.3 weighted. I have almost no idea what schools I would fit into though, but I’m looking to build my resume during the summer with an internship. I guess I would say I’m looking at the ‘most selective’ range.
I noticed that the definition appears to change between schools… Harvard, for example would consider me a first generation student. How much does this actually help with my application though? I understand that grades come first and foremost in the decision, but I think a few nice credentials like this could add up!
Thanks for your info!
