<ul>
<li>ACT Composite of 36, SAT 2250 (710R, 770M, 770W). ACT will be submitted.</li>
<li>SAT Math - 800, Chemistry - 790</li>
<li>Great chance for National Merit - PSAT score of 230</li>
<li>4.0/4.9 uw/w gpa, I.B. program, all A's for entire high school career, will probably get 40+ points for I.B. diploma, top 50 I.B. school for U.S. Taking 6 I.B. honor level courses for seniot year.</li>
<li>Ranking: 2 out of 500+</li>
<li>Recommendations should be good - several I.B. students have gotten into top schools over the last few years. Essays are always a crap shoot, but literature class is focusing on them for the next entire month and she scored an 11 on SAT essay and 10 on ACT one.<br></li>
<li>Year round athlete with National results, but probably not D1 level, most schools do not have sport (gymnastics). Over the last 6 years it has required over 20 hours a week with only two week off every year.<br></li>
<li>Multiple honor societies, plenty of volunteer work (200+ hours), some minor academic awards, but not hardcore with STEM activities. She essentially chose sport (her passions) over spending a huge amount of hours with academic clubs and competitions.
Thanks</li>
