Other stats: APs 5 U.S. Hist, 5 AP Lang
taking four more APs this year
Subjective:
Essays: I thought these were excellent... Both my short essays and my long one were examples of what I thought was my best writing
Teacher Recs: I know one was EXCELLENT my teacher read it to me, about how I was the best student hes ever had in his career. The other two were also very good, but not as outstanding as the others. They also all marked me as top few in career with one top 5% of the year that I know of from one teacher.
Counselor Rec: I dont know but Id assume it was pretty good, since I have a pretty close relationship with my counselor as far as relationships go at my school, where counselors dont know some students names Ive gone to talk to him a lot about academic things over the past four years.
Hook (if any): My interest in writing
.
Major ECs: Cross-country captain, managing editor of nationally-known school newspaper, varsity XC and track, written submissions editor of literary magazine, LIT last year (and 3 years participation prior to that) of a Girl Scout service group that is the Govenors Honor Guard on Mackinac Island for a week each summer (raise and lower the flags, stand duty, etc.), Regional Planning board for the Metro Detroit Girl Scout Council
a lot of other things as well
AB/BSE: AB
Strenth/Weakness: I thought my strength was my interest in learning (clearly emphasized in my essays), my writing, my range of interests but my weakness was definitely math (if you can call A-s and As vs. A+s weak... oh well *tries to stop being bitter *)
Location/Person:
State or Country: Michigan
School Type: medium sized public, well-known for its academic excellence, has been on national best schools list
Ethnicity: white
Gender: female
Other Factors:
Why do you think you got deferred/admitted: I think my math SAT I score hurt me, but I thought by bringing my SAT IIc up to 780 it showed that my math skills greatly improved in the past few months (as I went into Calculus). Also 2 other girls from my school applied ED, both which were very qualified - one is both a legacy and (I think) a recruited rower... I didn't think applicants from schools were compared to each other for "slots" but who knows...</p>
