[</em>] ACT: didnĀt take
[<em>] SAT II: 770 Math II, 710 US History
[</em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.98
[<em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable):

[/ul]
Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Mock Trial (President), Varsity Soccer (Captain, Sectional Finalists, League Champions), Yearbook (Copy Editor), Black Student Association (Vice President), Robotics (some international/regional awards), California Scholarship Federation (Chapter Founder, President), Private Tutor for most of high school</p>
<p>[<em>] Job/Work Experience: Summer Internship at BP (Graphic Designing)
[</em>] Volunteer/Community service: Tutoring, Mentoring at Robotics Summer Camp
[<em>] Summer Activities: university classes, mentor at Robotics camp, summer internship at BP
[</em>] Essays: Okay/Decent. Everyone who read them liked them but they werenĀt my best. Common App talked about my experiences tutoring. Supplement was about the influence of my father in my life. Well-written but nothing really stood out about them. However, I was genuine and showed my personality.
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: One I know was amazing, the other was okay. Both teachers liked me more than most students and I had a good reputation with all the faculty at my relatively small school.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: You never know with my counselor. IĀm assuming form letter
[<em>] Additional Rec: none
[</em>] Interview: Meh. Talked about Princeton 90% of the time and me for like 10% (even that might be an overestimation). I couldnĀt tell what he thought of me at all though.

General Comments:
Just excited, I canĀt believe it, Princeton Class of 2017!!! :D</p>
<p>congrats schoolgirl! are you for sure going to princeton?</p>
<p>I donāt know yet, Iām applying to Stanford and maybe Harvard, RD. But most likely, Iāve been falling even more in love with it since I got accepted. Are you for sure Harvard 2017? 
And congrats to everyone so far!</p>
<p>You guys are amazing! Quick Update:</p>
<p>Iāve just been informed that I was awarded a $10k/year merit scholarship from UChicago! I will definitely be matriculating there! Nice to be around a group of supportive, accomplished people! Keep it up everyone!</p>
<p>Wow, AMAZING job guys on both accomplishments and acceptances!</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T589 using CC</p>
<p>congrats on all of your accomplishments! Since everyone else is updating, I think I should too. I just became a NYTimes scholarship semifinalist. I should also mention that I was a national achievement semifinalist, not commended like l posted. That was an accident 
anyway, congratulations to everyone and good luck to everyone still applying! :)</p>
<p>Can more average students post on this thread? I feel pretty confident about my apps, but Iām nowhere close to the people on here. But Congratulations to all the people who got accepted to their dream schools!</p>
<p>Mustangmaniac-- of course you can post on his page. This page and the hispanic page has lots of info that you will find helpful. This is a stressful time and you will find that the info will not be on steroids like some of the other pages. Do not let the stats of others get to you. We incourage each other! We know its a stressful time. We welcome you!</p>
<p>Got into my #1 school, (Baylor University). Sent in my deposit yesterday, housing arrangements today. Iām not applying to anywhere else. Go bears!</p>
<p>Congrats bunny ! Glad this process is over for you.</p>

<p>Thank you buttafly13!</p>
<p>Well, I donāt have any results yet, but I have a 3.7 UW GPA, 4.6 W GPA, But my SAT Scores are horrid. I applied to NC State, UNC Charlotte and NC A&T. I really want to go to NC State though, but their engineering program is extremely hard to get into. I just hope the admissions office doesnāt focus too much on my standardized test scores. :/</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone else though :)</p>
<p>Thanks@buttafly!good luck to everyone else!!!</p>
<p>Congrats to you all!</p>
<p>@mustangmaniac- In the event you are opened to explore SAT/ACT optional schools, you should peruse this link. Not sure which is Engineering ones. I suggest you do followup with a specific school that interests you for more detail</p>
