I’m a senior in high school and trying to finalize where I should apply… I am interested in the following…Would I have a chance at William and Mary, Tulane, University of Miami, Nyu? I have three very safe safety schools that I am also interested in, but they’re definitely not my 1st choice. I’m planning on majoring in Chemistry. And I would be oos for W&M.
- I'm in the top 6% of my class with an UW GPA of 3.69, weighted gpa of 4.45 / (weighted GPA is on a 5.0 scale)
I got a 27 on my first ACT, and then my second time I studied really hard for it and jumped to a 33.
My ECs aren’t too extraordinary, but I am pretty involved in my school.
- leadership club, executive council member 3 years
- Spanish club, Co founder/Vice President 3 years
- Senior Class president
- volunteer once a week at the hospital participating in the no one dies alone program
- I have worked 20 hrs/week, 52 weeks/year for 2.5 years at a full service salon as a salon assistant/receptionist
- Freshman Mentor
- Peer Tutor for my schools pre AP chem class
- NHS, Vice President for two years (sadly this is mostly just resume/application filler at my school...)
- I'm an IB diploma canidate so basically just everything with CAS hours I guess, my creative and action hours aren't really much worth noting.
-I’m also in other groups like environment club, women’s empowerment and LINK at my school but I do not have any leadership roles in those… So again not worth noting on apps?
“Awards” ~ again nothing extremely special
- 1st place award at a leadership conference at a local university
- 2nd place in a MLK poetry Competition
- 2nd Place Unsung Hero Art Competition
That’s about it, any input I would appreciate. Thanks!
