Me:
31 ACT
95/100 GPA
3 APs: Comp. Gov (A+), Lang (A-, 5), Stats (A) (My school has 11 APs offered, 5 in my subjects of interest- history + english)
White female
Large urban public school
Massachusetts
Major of interest: sociology, anthropology
Anyway, here’s my list:
University of Michigan, not confident at all (I applied EA, waiting for Dec. 24 decision!)
University of Southern California, not confident at all
Tufts, not confident at all
Barnard, not confident at all
Brandeis, somewhat confident
McGill, confident (based off the scores on the website for admission to their faculty of arts)
Syracuse, confident
UConn, confident
UMass Amherst, (state flagship) confident
I’m worried I don’t have enough real matches, do you agree? I haven’t taken a million APs like most people who apply to the schools at the top of my list, but I am Senior Class President, avid member of my dance company with leadership role, along with a wide variety of other interesting ECs, + have strong essays and recs. But I know almost everyone applying has a very similar story and it’s pretty hard to stand out these days. All that said, please suggest any schools I should add, and pretend finances aren’t in the equation, I will check the affordability on my own, thank you!
