Hi, I am a rising senior. Please chance me for Tufts, WashU, Duke, Barnard, Stanford, Northwestern, Boston University, UPenn, and Georgetown.
My GPA unweighted is a 3.89 and weighted is a 4.82
(My grades took a dip, I got two B's my first semester sophomore year while my parents were getting divorced. My counselor will talk about it in her letter.)
I have taken or will have taken by graduation 6 AP classes. So far, I have earned a 5 on APUSH and I am waiting on AP Psych and AP English. I am taking AP Gov, AP Stats (better for psych majors), and AP English Lit next year.
All of my classes are honors or AP.
I got a 750 on the SAT Subject Test in US History. I took SAT Subject Tests in Literature and Math 1 and am expecting a score in the high 700s for both.
My ACT score is a 31. English: 32 Math: 29 Reading: 35 Science: 28 Writing: 9
I am retaking this weekend and hope to get a 32.
I go to an inner city public school.
I am a Jewish, white female.
As far as compelling stories go, my sister has autism which was the basis of my interest in the field. I will be writing my essay about her and our relationship as well as how my interest in psychology has grown over the years. She is my inspiration.
As far as activities go, I started a few clubs at school and am president:
Model UN
Book Club
I have just been elected as the president of the National Honor Society at school. Our project next year is tutoring young students at the neighboring elementary school.
I have over 300+ community service hours.
I have been asked to start a Best Buddies club as well (a club to connect mainstream students with students with severe disabilities). For three summers, I was a volunteer counselor at a camp for children with disabilities.
I have been on varsity tennis for four years. I will probably be captain for my senior year season.
I have an internship this summer in a psychology lab at University of Chicago, which is the career path I plan to pursue. I want to major in psychology, focusing on developmental psychology and autism research.
I have gone to three summer programs at Brown, Stanford, and Northwestern. Brown and Stanford were in psychology courses. All three were highly selective summer programs.
I have visited all of their campuses, if that makes a difference. I am a triple legacy at Northwestern, if that helps much.
I think I want to apply ED to Tufts or WashU. Will that improve my chances?
Please give me advice!! What more can I do? Thank you!!
