<p>[ b]subjective:**
extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Art Magazine (Co-President), Model UN (Vice President but did a LOT to change the club, including the hosting new high school conferences which I created.

why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I’m a good “fit” for the school. I love learning but I’m laid back and not really cut-throat. I’m a free-thinker, incredibly liberal, “artsy”…which are all stereotypes of the school haha. Wesleyan isn’t my absolute first choice but I am really happy and taken aback about being accepted, just because my gpa was so awful and I can imagine myself fitting in there and having a lovely college experience.</p>

7

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): 2280 (superscored); highest- M 720, CR 800, W 760

Major awards (usamo, intel etc.): None</p>

<p>Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Model congress- a few different conferences (MUSS, MUN United Netherlands, HMCE, MEP; International Model European Parliament Conference VP); NHS (President); Student Council (Vice President); Class Council (President, 2xSecretary, Treasurer over the years); Scouting (Eagle Scout, 3xPatrol Leader [akin to committee chair], 2xSenior Patrol Leader [equiv. to President], Order of the Arrow [Scouting’s honor society]); Varsity tennis; Varsity track (captain year 12); LEO service club (founder and President)
Job/work experience: Not allowed by parents.
Volunteer/community service: Common App doesn’t let you place hours, but I do a lot of service. Started a LEO club at school, NHS Pres, Eagle Scout, Order of the Arrow, etc.
Essays: Common App essay was very good, I suppose; the supplement was alright.<br>
Teacher recommendation: Not allowed to see.

Applied for financial aid?: Yes; got a decent package.

Hooks (urm, first generation college, research, etc.): I went to TASP, if that counts.</p>

<p>Strengths: Good range of interests but definite achievement in a few that are important to me. My writing is usually very good (though I haven’t applied for any Golden Key/Silver Key things or whatever they are) and I stick with what I start. I think my odd blend of being a US citizen but living overseas (but not a wealthy expatriate) might have made me a little less BWRKy and more attuned to global issues. I wrote about international cooperation and talked a lot about my experiences as a military kid.
Weaknesses: Scores and lack of major awards. </p>
