Decision: Accepted
Planned major: Biology, pre-med

Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): 2070
ACT: 32
SAT II: n/a
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): My school doesnt rank, but I think that I am definitely in the top 10%
AP (place score in parenthesis): English Language (4), Statistics (5), U.S. History (4)
IB (place score in parenthesis): n/a
Senior Year Course Load: AP U.S. Government and Politics, AP English Literature, AP Spanish Language, Robotics/AP Psychology, 2 religion courses (one semester each), AP Biology, and AP Calculus AB
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Nothing really just Honor Roll all four years

Subjective :
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Cross Country all 4 years, NHS, National Spanish Honors Society, Ohio Math League 2/4 years, minor involvement in Spanish Club all 4 years
Job/Work Experience: none
Volunteer/Community service: 12 hours each semester through NHS and NSHS, 10 hours in the summer for cross country
Summer Activities: Cross country conditioning/community service (we helped run several triathlons this past summer to raise money for the special Olympics)
Essays: On the extracurricular activity that you had to elaborate on, I wrote about my involvement in cross country-mainly about how I feel that it taught me patience and endurance. My main essay addressed prompt #1 about a significant experience and its impact on me I talked about a field trip that I took this semester to an Islamic mosque and how it changed my views on the religion.
Teacher Recommendation: Didnt get one since you can get by with just the counselor one
Counselor Rec: Nothing special, but it should be good. Its also personalized since we have to fill out this long sheet about ourselves before they do this.
Additional Rec: none
Interview: none

Other
State (if domestic applicant): Ohio
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Relatively small private Catholic high school, around 750 students total, pretty competitive academically however
Ethnicity: white
Gender: male
Income Bracket: around 150,000
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None

Reflection
Strengths: Academically, I excel at memorization-focused classes like history and biology
Weaknesses: I struggle a bit more with critical thinking-based classes like math, but I still like to think that I am good at these classes theyre just not my strong suit.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: An unweighted 4.0 GPA and a 32 ACT are pretty good
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Ive been accepted to OU, Miami, and Wright State. I still have yet to hear from UD.

General Comments: Scholarships I received the Maximus ($5000 a year). Great value but Ive received full tuition to Miami and OU. Im holding out to see what kind of offer UD gives me. Im thinking that I might do undergrad at one of the other schools Ive applied to and then aim for medical school at OSU.

Hey everyone…I looked online and I was accepted to the engineering school, however, I won’t be able to go unless I receive the National Buckeye Scholarship. I have yet to receive my letter in the mail, so I am wondering how do you find out/when do you find out if you are awarded?
