I’m currently a junior at a college prep Catholic high school in the Midwest. I have a 3.56 GPA and a 29 composite on my ACT (31 super score-I’m taking it again in June). I have been a Class Representative on Student Council every year of high school (Student Court during 9th and 10th, Student Activities Council Secretary during 11th, and will be Student Leadership Council Secretary during 12th grade). I have played junior varsity volleyball one year during 9th grade and varsity volleyball two years during 10th and 11th. I have played competitive club volleyball during 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. I was a reporter for the school newspaper during 9th and 10th, an editor during 10th grade, and I will be Sports Correspondent during 12th grade. I volunteer at the Special Olympics and Camp Variety. I am a member of National Honors Society. I was a Penny Queen for my class during 11th grade (I helped my class raise $2,300 in one week for the American Cancer Society). I take Honors Trigonometry, U.S. Literature, U.S. History, and Psychology. I take AP Biology also. I helped raise $12,000 for my school in my Marketing Class. I am a certified lifeguard and I nanny. I am also a Tribal Council member of my school’s feminist club: Women for Women. I have received facilitation training for my school’s diversity council.
I’m nervous because I live out of state and my ACT score isn’t great. I would need financial aid.
