You seem to be an average applicant for Plan II. Plan II weighs the application essays very heavily in their evaluation of an applicant, so your essays will need to be exceptional. Also, they prefer candidates who have an interest in both the liberal arts and sciences, so you need to demonstrate that you have a broad range of interests. You also need to show some creativity, innovation, thoughtfulness, or unique qualities that give that wow factor as they read your essays and resume. Good luck!

Because Plan II is heavily focused on liberal arts, you will most likely need to raise your reading/writing score on the SAT to strengthen your app (if you choose to send your SAT score.) You ACT score seems strong though, I think you’re well off on the standardized testing! :slight_smile: You will also need to be sure you essays are very strong, and be sure to display yourself as a well-rounded student capable of handling a rigorous curriculum.
