I’m a racial minority Junior in an affluent neighborhood in a great school of Northern Illinois. I have progressed throughout the years to get into honors classes and AP classes. This year I am in all honors classes except for math, and AP French (highest level in my school). In my senior year, I will be taking AP Bio, AP AB Calc, AP Literature, and AP Psych (and Consumer Education). Last semester my unweighted GPA was a 3.2, weighted was 4.0. I plan on bringing that up absolutely as much as I can this semester. So far this semester I have an unweighted 3.4 and weighted 4.2. I got a 31 on my ACT.
I am an editor on my school’s nationally recognized newspaper, I was a student leader in one of those “get-to-know-yourself” retreats sponsored by the school this year (applying to be a student director, higher position, for next year), I am in Medical Club, After School All Stars (tutoring kids in less fortunate areas) and I tutor kids in a writing program at my school. I am in French Nat’l Honors Society and Nat’l Honors Society. I also have a job and my volunteering can count as the After School All Stars Club, however I plan on volunteering in a hospital soon. I played lacrosse fresh/soph year, not anymore.
What are my chances of getting into UW Madison? What should I improve? Please any advice is encouraged and welcome! Please please let me know!! Thanks!
