I am currently applying to colleges, but I am really concern about getting into Madison. I have done quite a bit of research and my ACT scores are nowhere near the suggested scores.
ACT Score: 22
(I am planning on taking the Oct. 2015 one without the writing)
(I also know some people who are admitted to UW-Madison with the same/lower ACT scores and a lower gpa)
I am a full IB Diploma Candidate
GPA Unweighted: 3.81
The classes I am taking this year are:
IB Chemistry HL
IB 20th Century Topics HL
IB Spanish B
Theory of Knowledge
IB English HL 2
IB Math SL 2
and Ceramics
I also took the most rigorous classes my junior, sophomore, and freshman year as well.
As far as activities goes,
I have been in DECA for all 4 years (pres)
National Honor Society
Spanish Honor Society
Current Events Club
Was in student council for 3 years
Link Crew (Probably not recognizable)
I also participated in sports such as Volleyball, Cross Country Running, and Nordic Skiing (but I didn’t follow them through)
Little bit of background about me
I am a minority (Asian/Filipino)
Lived in the Philippines til I was about 10 then moved to the US
I am now a resident of Minnesota
First in the family to go to college in the United States
