Subjective:
Basically a plate full of extra curriculars with plenty of successes. Also AFJROTC for two years.
Essays: wrote a story about something that happened while in Germany. Have received lots of praise
Letters of rec: great letter from prior band director, 1 Star General (president of old academy), and Outstanding letter from last year‘s English teacher.
Also i did a summer interview that i felt went extremely well. (Note: let the grammar in this post not be indicative of my intelligence, this is just nothing official so I couldn’t care less.)
Overall I feel as if I have a pretty well rounded application that is strong in many places, especially course load. Granted- my grades could be a little higher, but here‘s the kicker: My class rank is 50. I’m barely top 18%. My class is brilliant and many of them have GPA‘s well above 4.0 with a full load of AP‘s and A‘s in all of them. Any other questions about my app that you feel you‘d need to know more about for a proper opinion just ask. I left a bunch of stuff out with EC‘s and academic accomplishments, just the really big stuff is what I put in.
Also, I Applied ED I so I’m probably going to receive my decision soon, but just to ease my mind a little bit haha
