Hey guys! Thought I’d start this
Objective
College: Case Western, previously small unknown LAC
GPA: ~3.69 overall, 51 credits/4.00 major-specific, 14 credits
Major: Psych and Sociology
HS: Pretty good NJ public
GPA: 3.14 I believe (My chest!)
Rank: 304/514 (My chest!)
SAT (not submitting): 1930 (630 M, 640 CR, 660 W) (My chest again!!!)
Financial Aid: Y
Gender: M
Race: Caucasian
Subjective
ECs: Rowed crew during HS, volunteered at soup kitchen for a few years, research during college, part of EMS freshman year, a few other minor volunteering things.
Essays: Could break 8/10 for the transfer common app prompt if lucky, supplements probably won’t be as good.
Recommendations: Probs not amazing for (hopefully) supplemental recommender, trying to get an old professor to write one which should be better. Regardless, my sociology professor should write a good one, maybe close to 9/10 if I’m lucky. She seemed to like me.
Where else am I applying: Northwestern, Yale, Columbia, Amherst, Haverford, Davidson, Duke, UChicago.
I’m perfectly content with staying at Case, as you can most definitely tell. Good luck to everyone! Remember, an acceptance or denial can not define you, only you can!
