I have directed a local children’s theater group for 3 years now during the summer (~14hr/week, for 3 weeks each year). Additionally, I’ve worked as a camp counselor select years.

Leadership: Camp director, camp counselor, marching band student leader, multiple lead roles within theater

AWARDS
I cannot think of any at all. Is this bad? No, I’m not a Merit finalist. I literally cannot recall any awards besides annual academic excellence

HOOKS?
My brother’s illness (F.I.R.E.S., rare form of epileptic seizures) has given our family a large financial burden.

COLLEGES I’M INTERESTED IN
Ohio State (definitely applying)
University of Michigan
UCLA (visited the campus-- oh god, I fell in love)
Boston University
UNC Chapel Hill

If any of you could give me some realistic matches and reaches, that would be absolutely fantastic. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort given in your responses; college applications are truly stressful. Thank you all so much!

It might be better to wait until you retake the ACT in October and get the results; if your score improves you’ll get more accurate feedback on what might be matches for you.

As it is, you’ll get into Ohio State, and possibly BU, but likely not UCLA, UNC or Mich. But with a higher ACT score the picture could change.

You also need to consider how much your parents can afford. And whether you have any preferences in terms of type of school.
