As of now i have a 2290 SAT, 87% in my junior year, 95% in my sophomore year (I just began my senior year, I’m from India) ,MUN accolades, Indian classical music Year 5 and very good writing skills. This year I plan to work on social work and service. Can anyone tell me what else do I need to focus on? How can I make my application worthy of any great college?
You are “worthy” already, @mysterygirl11, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll be accepted. One comment: the top schools are often looking not so much for “well rounded” as “truly exceptional in one area.” Of course, they do admit many students are have great stats, etc. but haven’t composed a symphony or started a homeless shelter. Good luck!
thank you for your answer @Roger_Dooley. Since we’re in India AP courses aren’t offered by high schools. I wanted to know if it makes sense giving AP Calculus in May, i.e. focusing a whole two and a half months of my senior year on AP.Will it make my application stronger significantly?
