Im currently going to be a Senior in High School at a VERY competitive well known school in Illinois.
I have a 3.89 weighted gpa and a 3.48 unweighted
I got a composite score of 30 on my ACT 29E 31M 31R 28S and a 9 on writing
I’m currently in 1 AP class, but plan on taking about 3 more next year
Im a A-B student (Did very well my last semester of junor year, i show an upward curve)
I dealt with depression and anxiety during my sophomore year and have done a lot better during junior year
I have been on the honor roll every year in high school
I founded and am president of the animal welfare club at my school. Im a student ambassador for the school and a peer helper, kind of like a one on one mentor. Im a studio helper in the after school photo studio and was a class leader for 4 years for give a thon (a giant donation event in Dec). I have 300+ community service hours. I have interned at a political organization in my town and at the local vets office.
I’m Jewish (don’t really know if that helps)
Right now, my number 1 is The University of Washington then Tulane and Syracuse are tied for second probably.
I have talked to the admissions counselor at the UW a couple times and I had a one on one meeting with her during my visit during my spring break. I also have a connection with a professor in the field I want to go into at UW and I also met with him during my visit. He said he would love to recommend me to the admissions people (even though UW doesnt accept recommendation letters) but Im guessing he could just said an email or something so hopefully that increases my chances.
Please chance me and give me insight on your reasoning Thanks!
