With junior year drawing to an end, I’m looking ahead at senior year and trying to start narrowing my search. Any insight as to which colleges would be a good fit for me is appreciated!
Demographics: Latina female who goes to a public high school in NC with 1000+ students
Intended Major(s): English or environmental studies
ACT: 35 (36 Reading, 34 English, 35 Math , 34 Science)
UW GPA: 4.0
W GPA: 4.6
Coursework: 13 AP Classes (3-sophomore year, 5-junior year, 5-senior year (already registered)) with 1 science class taken at local state university
Awards: Not many, to be honest. AP Scholar, National Hispanic Recognition, and one Scholastic Art and Writing Regional award.
Extracurriculars: 200+ volunteer hours, internship with local non-profit, ran XC for 3 years (probably won’t do it senior year), ran indoor track for 2 years, ran track for 1 year
Leadership/Summer Activities: NC Gov School, Student Body President, President of Mock Trial Club, VP of Interact Club
Essays: I’ve already written my common app essay and I’m pretty proud of it so 7/10
LOR: Maybe a 6/10 and a 8/10?
Budget: My family can only afford to pay $15k-$20k a year so I’m looking for colleges that offer really good financial aid for families that make under $125k a year or that offer tuition-free scholarships since that’s essentially what I can afford. Also, I really want to go out of state so there’s that as well.
Thanks so much for helping!!!
