Well, I’m not entirely sure. Maybe Georgia Tech. I’m not going to apply to a lot of schools if I don’t really want to go there. I’ve already been provisionally accepted into Clemson so I’m not worried about a safety or anything.</p>
<p>But just a few of my stats:
*Valedictorian (class size of 186)
*4.0 GPA unweighted
*5.06 weighted
*President of Beta Club
*All State band for clarinet for 3 years
*5 mission trips (I’m not sure how to calculate hours. Do I just count the hours that I actually worked each day or do I say 24 hours per day because they are all overnight trips in different states?)
*various other volunteer work totaling probably around 100 hours (haven’t figured it out exactly yet)
*a bunch of smaller awards that I’ve earned throughout the years
*4 different “scholar” awards from local colleges in my area
*Elder at my Church (leadership position)
*soccer for 4 years (2 JV 2 varsity)
*cross country for 5 years (3 JV 2 varsity)
*region champs for both cross country and soccer </p>
<p>In addition, I have ran 4 half marathons and 1 full marathon. </p>
<p>I know I will have solid recommendations and I have been working hard on my essays so hopefully they will turn out great!</p>
<p>The only thing holding me back from Stanford is my sat/act.
Sat: 770/600/600 (1970 total)
10 essay
ACT: 28/35/27/31 (30.25 composite)
9 essay (27 English/writing)
So my scores are definitely on the lower end. However, I am majoring in engineering so my math is definitely on par with their standards (I missed only 1 question on every single sat and act test I took for math). So I’m hoping that my situation is similar to the other engineers because I am 100% math minded and English/reading is NOT my thing. Plus, I know the rest of the application is just as important if not more so than the standardized tests so hopefully the rest will be rock solid and perfect! My scores definitely don’t show my full ability in those subject areas. </p>
