Hi, guys!
I’m a rising senior from a small town in NY, just north of New York City! I’m in love with Pitzer, and it’s probably my second choice (?) after Wesleyan. I’m applying ED1 to Wes, but I don’t know if Pitzer is even moderately plausible RD.
some things about me: White female at highly ranked small public school and my financial need, which I’ve discussed with my parents, is not significant.
GPA: 94 average (I would have nearly a 97 if you took out my math grades though )
ACT: 33 (36 E, 36 R, 32 S, 29 M. 10 on essay)
SAT2: 740 on World History, taking Lit tomorrow (AAAAh)
AP Scores: (I self-studied all of these APs with the exception of Environmental Science, which I took at school.) AP Human Geo (4), AP World History (4), AP US Government (4), AP Comparative Government (5), AP Environmental Science (5). Will graduate with 10 APs.
Recommendations - Guidance counselor one will be fine, my Honors English, AP Environmental Science and/or SUPA US history teachers will all probably write me really good recommendations
Essay - 9/10, about curiosity to learn through quiz bowl
Alumni Interview - 10/10, interviewer told me I exuded the core values of Pitzer
Extracurriculars: President of Quiz Bowl, Secretariat of Model UN, selected for a program where I shadowed New York State legislators and then founded a youth civic education/engagement club due to my genuine horror about how uninformed we are about politics, volunteer for local Democratic county executive campaign, singer-songwriter, in select and regular chorus, high school theater, volunteer tutor, National Honors Society, etc.
Intended Major: Poli Sci, maybe psych or anthro also?
