Hi!! I am going into my senior year of high school and I want to know my chances for this program. I currently have a 4.72 weighted gpa and a 3.8 unweighted. my APWH score was a 4, and my APUSH was a 5. By the time im done with high school, i will have taken 10 AP classes. My SATs are quite low, theyre only 1190. However, i have many extracurriculars. I ran a voter registration event at my school and registered the most people to vote in my state and my states secretary of state presented me with a special award. I am also a fellow at the Democatic National Committee and i spend a lot of volunteer hours there. Prior to my DNC fellowship, i regularly volunteered at food banks. I have been student director (professional directors right hand man) at my schools musical for three years (it is a 200 person production). I have been stage manager for 3 productions, and i am the Senior Representative for my schools Thespian troupe. I am also a member of the national honors society. I have a very high up connection through one of my relatives (he was in the scholars program). Thank you for reviewing this!!
It’s not a matter of how many AP’s you take but your commitment to improving your community. Your leadership skills and service to the community. In your essays emphasize how you will add value as a member of the honors college.
Many kids have taken lots of AP classes. Emphasize what makes you distinct from all the other applicants. Work on your SAT scores which are quite low.
