<p>New improvements!:

Received all A's in 6 AP classes last semester--AP Psychology, AP Art History, AP U.S. Government, AP English Literature, AP European History, and AP Human Geography.</p>
<p>Everything else is the same:
ACT: 30; 33 English, 24 Math, 12/12 essay
AP scores: all 5's in AP World History, AP U.S. History and AP English Language
EC's:
9-11th: Debate, captain 11th grade, state qualifier
12th: Amnesty International, founder and president
11-12th: Community service organization
12th: National Honors Society (with my new GPA I'm eligible this year, yay!)
Community service: 500+ hours of volunteer work in nonprofits and community groups</p>
<p>During 10th and 11th grade I underwent a 'special circumstance' and let my recommenders and colleges know what I went through and what I learned...</p>
<p>Waiting for decisions from:
University of Texas at Austin
Scripps College
Barnard College
Smith College
Trinity University</p>
<p>I've been accepted to the local-state-university-that-takes-anyone and Austin College (they had to see my 7th semester transcript before accepting me.) Being deferred from my match-safety sort of upset me. With the exception of Trinity (which I'm guessing has the same selectivity as Austin College), did I end up applying to too many reaches?</p>
