SAT II: chemistry:780, chinese:760, math2:730, USHistory:700
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): my school doesn’t do a 4.0 scale. I have an average of 87.12, and the average GPA from people in my school who got accepted into georgetown is 87.something
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): no idea sorry. not top 10% though.
AP (place score in parenthesis): Both Englishes(4), Chemistry(5), US History(4), CalcAB(5)
Senior Year Course Load: Advanced Physics(prepares you for the AP C Mechanics exam), Applied Math 2 (goes beyond Calc BC), Latin 3, a lot of amazing electives

Volunteer/Community service: 250+ hours with a nonprofit exchange program, 2 weeks at an orphanage in Shanghai
Summer Activities: Community Service, World Science Festival, Entrepreneur’s Class, Finland Exchange funded by the Finnish Parliament, orphanage in Shanghai
Essays: moral decision I had to make with my host family in Finland. It’s pretty decent, but would’ve been better if there hadn’t been the 600 word limit.
Teacher Recommendation: Both pretty amazing.
Counselor Rec: Pretty->very good. She’s my dorm head too so she knows me pretty well.
Additional Rec: None submitted
Interview: I thought it went pretty well.

Other
Applied for Financial Aid?: No
Intended Major: Philosophy
State (if domestic applicant): Massachusetts
Country (if international applicant):

Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Lived in Shanghai for the second half of freshman year, attended a British international school there

Reflection
Strengths: international experience, very good preparation because of the insane academics in my school, huge upward trend in grades, grades reliable in the sense that Georgetown knows my school really well, good but not amazing extracurriculars
Weaknesses: pretty mediocre sophomore year because of adjusting to a new school, freshman grades don’t really mean too much because of the switch to a British system, an Asian with my SAT scores kind of throws me into the pile of “oh look another Asian”.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My school’s kind of a Georgetown feeder school
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: University of Edinburgh(unconditional acceptance), Barnard (accepted), Boston College (accepted), Vanderbilt (accepted) UChicago (waitlisted), Northwestern (waitlisted), Middlebury (waitlisted), Columbia (deferred ED), Duke (rejected)
The rest of my list: Brown, Harvard, Tufts
General Comments: YAAAYYYYYY I’m not 100% positive I’d choose this over Barnard though. On the tour I felt like I belonged at Barnard.
