Hi! :slight_smile:
I’m a white female from MN.
ACT composite: 30
English: 36
Reading: 35
Math: 26
Science: 27
GPA: UW, 3.67 as of last year. My school doesn’t give us a weighted GPA.
I will have taken a total of 7 college-credit/level courses by graduation. (My school offers a lot of opportunity for college credits, both in our school and online through actual colleges and we do not have AP classes.)
As of last year I was number 12 out of 45 in my class rank.
Extracurriculars: I have a part-time job, was elected as a student council representative 11th grade, student council treasurer this year, class secretary for 2 years, NHS, history club, Knowledge Bowl, concert band, jazz band, and debate club.

I submitted the Common Application on October 29th but haven’t heard back yet. All my friends have been accepted already so I’m getting nervous. Do people who used the gopher application hear back before people who applied with the common app?

It’s possible that the class rank is slowing things down a bit (are your friends ranked higher, do you know?). Your stats seem good enough for CLA - my D16 (also a white female from MN) got in a couple of years ago with similar. She applied in August and wasn’t notified till mid December (would probably be equivalent to this Friday). Good luck to you!

My friends are ranked higher than me- they’re 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in my class. That could be it, I suppose! It makes me feel better knowing someone with similar stats got in though :slight_smile: Thank you!
