The Ohio State University is my dream school, but I plan on also applying to Brown and Oberlin. I don’t know what I want to major in yet. I am a junior in high school this year. I’ve only taken my ACT once as a sophomore. I got a 28 composite, 24 math, 27 science, 29 English, and 32 reading. I obviously plan on retaking it a couple more times. Unweighted GPA as of end of Soph Year: 4.0 Weighted GPA as of end of Soph Year: 4.06. I have completed 17 high school credits as of the end of soph year. I am from a school of less than 400 in West Virginia. I will be graduating either Valedictorian or Salutatorian. I took Spanish 1 when I was in middle school, and will have taken up through Spanish 4 by the time I graduate. I took APHUG soph year and got a 4 on the AP test. This year I am taking AP Eng Lang and the AP Psych test. This year also, I am taking College Algebra and College Trig. Senior year I plan on taking APUSH, AP Eng Lit, College Government, College Speech, and possibly College BCA. That would cover every AP class my school offers (that aren’t online).
In terms of extracurricular activities so far: Robotics team freshman year, mentored robotics team soph year. Plan on continuing that. Co- coached an Academic Quiz Bowl team every year since I was a freshman, Student Council since soph year, I am treasurer of it this year. I am secretary of the class of 2018. I have went to regional math field day every year since eighth grade. Concert band since 5th grade (flute and violin). I’ve done Friends of Rachel Club (on the leadership panel), Spanish Club since soph year, Leo Club since soph year. Float committee freshman and junior year. Homecoming committee soph year. Prom committee junior year. I was a member of the newspaper staff freshman year. Editor of the school newspaper sophomore year. I am in National Honor Society, and plan on running for an office senior year. I will have between 300 and 400 community service hours by the time I graduate.
Anything I forgot to include? Any suggestions for things I could do to improve my chances at these colleges? I still have time to make changes and prepare.
