<p>Hi! So I just found out what I got on my SAT today and I'm not ecstatic, although it's still a decent score. I've made one of these threads in the past and a lot of weight was put on my nonexistant SAT score, so now that that's in, I'm curious to see if the general feedback will change. </p>
<p>ANYWAY, I'm a junior looking to apply to Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, UVA, NYU, Carnegie Mellon, and William and Mary. I go to a pretty well-respected public school in Virginia and have some tough competition regarding class rank. With that said, here's my stats!</p>
<p>GPA: 4.4 out of 4.5 weighted (3.96/4.0 UW on that kind of scale, not sure what it would be weighted on a 4.0 scale.)
---Just a side note: My school changed grading scales after my freshman year, going from a 6-point scale to a 10-point scale. If it had been a 10-point scale from the start, I'd have a slightly higher GPA, including a perfect 4.0/4.0. My school will send a notice about this!</p>
<p>Rank: 4 out of approx. 500
SAT: 2100 (700 CR, 680 M, 720 W. Will retake)
APs: 10 or 11. I expect mostly, if not all, 5s (I've only taken one so far!).</p>
<p>ECs:
-Vice President of Drama Club (hopefully President next year!)
-HUGELY involved with the school drama department both on and off stage. Most of my EC time goes to this.
-ITS member
-NHS member (running for President next year!)
-Academic Team
-French Club (might try for President or VP next year)
-Wrote a one-act play that was chosen to be performed at my school and at a district theatre competition. One of our actresses got a best acting award. My teacher and I are trying to see if we can get it published.</p>
<p>Awards/Others:
-Doing a 5-week paid internship this summer at a well-regarded PR firm
(All of the next "outstanding" awards are given to only one student per year)
-Outstanding Sophomore Female of the Year
-Outstanding French II and III Student
-Outstanding Honors Biology Student
-Outstanding Drama II Student
-NHS member of the month for November</p>
<p>Just to add, it may come across like I'm running for three president positions just for the sake of saying I was president of three clubs, but I'm honestly not. I truly enjoy all of the ECs I participate in (otherwise I wouldn't do them haha!) and really want to help run all three of these!</p>
<p>Also, I have a slightly random question which I asked on my last thread but never got a real answer. My grandfather went to Cornell during World War II, however, he dropped out after a couple of years to fight in the war and never came back to graduate. Would I still be considered a legacy of any sort since he left to protect his school? </p>
<p>Thank you so, so much!</p>
