Rank: Top 20% of my class (54/300)
SAT Scores: 1940 (630 CR, 710 Math, 600 Writing). I have only taken the SAT once and that was my score. </p>

<p>Sports: Cross Country (Varsity, 3 years), Swimming (Varsity, 3 years), Tennis (Varsity, 2 years)
Extracurricular Activities: Marching Band (1 year), National English Honors Society (1 year)</p>

AP Classes: 3 AP classes (I will be taking 3 more next year for a total of 6 by graduation)
Electives: I have taken 12 electives classes
Language: 3 years of Spanish</p>

<p>I have no work experience but I'm looking for a job this summer and I am getting into a few charity projects by the end of senior year.</p>

<p>The average SAT score for American class of 2014 (the class that just got accepted) was 1220-1390
The average GPA score for the American class of 2014 (The class that just got accepted for next fall) was 3.6-4.1</p>

<p>Maybe get a few leadership positions and add a couple more EC’s but it looks to me like a low match. Your stats and courseload are definitely on par.</p>

<p>I was accepted to AU’s Honors Program with similar stats (higher class rank though).</p>

<p>Thanks for your honesty! I’ll be undertaking two leadership roles next year (Captain of the cross country team and section leader in the school band). One of the biggest things I regret is not getting more into school organizations. I play 3 sports and I’m part of two clubs.</p>

<p>Next year I hope to join another club where I am part of a committee to help raise money for cancer, as well as participate in more charity around my neighborhood.</p>

<p>My GPA is a bit higher than 3.7 because I’m now taking more classes and the AU average (Between 3.6-4.1) is weighted, so I think my chances will improve greatly.</p>
