Hello 
I’m currently a high school senior planning on majoring in CS, and I realized a little late that I don’t have close to as many safeties/matches in mind as I’d like… Any suggestions?
Here are my stats:
Race/Gender: Chinese Female
School: Somewhat competitive public high school (sends ~10 students to Ivies each year, often wins national academics competitions)
SAT: 1600 (new SAT) W: 12
SAT II: Math 800, Biology 780, Chinese w/ Listening 800
AP Tests (all 5s): Calc AB, Chinese, APUSH, Lang, Chem, Bio, APES, CS
Unweighted GPA: 3.95(ish)
Senior Year Courseload: AP Calc BC, AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Physics C (M), Newspaper, Engineering
(Nothing, but will be competing in a few Robotics competitions soon so there’s at least some hope lol)
Extracurriculars:
- [] Pres/cofounder of Coding Club (2 years)
[] EIC/Webmaster of Newspaper (1 year EIC, two years Web)
[] Secretary of Key Club (1 year)
[] Secretary of Robotics Club (1 year)
[] VP of Environmentalist Club (1 year)
[] School District intern
[] Designer for local hospital (2 years)
[] Webmaster for a nonprofit org (1 year)
[] Cellist for local student orchestra (4 years)
[] Two apps in Android App Store
Currently have an internship for a local business pending, but that doesn’t seem to be going very well…
Volunteer Service: Volunteering at the Shelter (3 years), sporadic on/off volunteering via Key Club and various environmental clubs
Summers: Not much oops
Supplement(s): Art/Music Supplement I guess?
No hooks… think my race actually works against me haha.
Hoping to find schools offering decent financial aid. My family’s not terribly poor, but we’re not well off either… (~60k unstable income). I prefer schools in urban areas, but meh. Thanks in advance!
