Hi! I am currently a junior and I want to go to one of the schools listed above. I know some of this stuff isn’t the best, so please be honest! Thanks!
My test scores are pretty good, but I know they are not the best. I have only taken each once, so I might try to take them again and raise each of the scores (and get a “superscore” going).
SAT: 2050
CR: 690
M: 700
W: 660
ACT: 31
R: 33
W: 33
M: 29
S: 28
Overall, I am not too worried about my test scores. My GPA is what I am very concerned about. I went to a regular high school for two years and I was bullied very badly and my grades suffered from that (Freshman: 2.9 UW, Sophomore: 3.0 UW) after Sophomore year, I transferred to an online school and currently have a 4.36 W/4.0 UW (first half of junior year only - not 100%). I have my schedule for Senior year all worked out and have 5 AP classes on top of the 2 AP’s and one honors I have this year.
I do have a few things that I have going for me though. I am fluent in 4 languages and am working on a 5th. I am part of the French National Honor Society. I have medals from Russian language competitions. I have also been to Russia and studies the language there for a month, same with Costa Rica/Spanish language. I am part of the dance club, baking club, and the president of the book club. I have varsity letters in tennis (2 from my years at a normal high school). I have over 300 community service hours (working at marathons/triathlons, habitat for humanity, working/putting together haunted houses in the fall, and tutoring kids/teens in english and math - basic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and precalculus. Aside from tennis, I golf, dance (ballet, pointe, and tap), ride horses, and run (not with a school, but I probably could if I wanted to).
By the way, I would like to major in either Computer Science, Math, or both!
I know my GPA is going to hurt my chances, but what do you think? Be honest, and please let me know if there is anything else you think I can do to make my résumé stronger!
