Hi All,
I am white female who attends a competitive highly ranked public school in MA. I have an idea of schools, but I am worried I am thinking either too lowly or too highly of myself… Please give your input/suggest more schools.
Some facts:
Money is not a big constraint (my parents are willing and expect to be pay around $60k a year)
Stats:
Unweighted: 3.9 (sophomore year) school does not calculate freshman grades into this
Classes: All honor, except math. Not taking any AP this year only 2 were offered. Plan to take 2-3 next year. Will be taking the AP lang test in may though.
SAT: Took them in december did not do as well as I wanted 1280/1600… I barely studied and was very lazy about the Kaplan course I was taking. I am taking them again in March and hoping to do much better, getting a math tutor.
ACT: taking it in april.
Hook: I have a hemangioma birthmark on my face that I am planning to write about in my essay.
Extracurriculars:
Journalism (editor and staff writer for school newspaper)
Social justice leadership program
Tutoring low income students (3X a week)
Costa rica community service (3 weeks over the summer)
Founder and president of Current events club
Racial Awareness
Will be inducted into national honors society
Schools I have so far: if you could write whether you think these are the right range!
Umich- reach is what I am thinking
Emory- would most likely do ed for this, aware it is a reach. Legacy:2 aunts, cousin currently attends, uncle attended
Tulane- EA
Wisconsin- madison
Syracuse- sister currently attends. would be a senior when I was a freshman.
GWU
Indiana- safety
Please let me know what you think of my list! I’ll chance/feedback you back!! Thank you (:
