Hi everyone! So, I’m still a junior, but the common app comes out in four months for next year, so I’m starting to get everything ready for college application time.
My GPA is a 3.94

School newspaper:

School literary magazine: writer for each year
- I have also submitted to and placed in various capacities in a number of state/national writing contests throughout high school

(I am going to take it a second time early senior year, so these may go up a bit)
I can count on one stellar recommendation from my creative writing teacher, who also taught me English one year and has become a sort of mentor for me. My college counselor will probably write me a good rec too. I will most likely get at least one other vaguely decent rec from a history or French teacher.
Can’t tell for certain how my essay will be, as I haven’t written it yet, but I have a thing for writing (if you didn’t pick that up yet…), so I think it will be at least respectable.

William and Mary
