<p>Gpa (recalculated): 3.84
3.5 in freshman year
4.0 for sophomore and junior years
rank: 10/50 (yep! my rank is crappy b/c of freshman year!)
arizona private
SATs: 670 CR, 700 M, 760 (I think my math score has the potential to be a lot higher when I get it back next week)</p>
<p>my extracurrics and stuff are pretty good: I don't think that I would be rejected from a college because of them.
do they care about the major you apply to? Mine is Environment, Economics, and Politics. </p>
<p>extra-curriculars:
-lots and lots on environmental work: awards, research, etc. (hence the major and I fit like a glove)
-community service stuff: president, blah, blah
-school play lead stuff</p>
<p>yeah.
co-founder of my environmental organization
president of a charity group
Girls State (apparently that helps with leadership)
captain of the debate team</p>
<p>I am curious; is CMC your first choice? If so, are you clear why? If you can write your essay showing how you are a good fit, I think that can really help. Your SAT scores are strong, and I think your EC’s show strong leadership.<br>
On a different note–did you take the most challenging courses offered at your school? That is always important at highly selective schools.</p>
<p>CMC isn’t my top choice, but its up there. As to if I’m clear why, to be honest, yes but no at the same time. I like it a lot but not for a very unique reason–I guess I just like its mission statement and the major I’m gonna go for.
Yeah, I took the most challenging courses offered, but my school doesn’t have APs or IB or anything–so I don’t know if that means much.</p>
