Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.9/4.00 UW
SAT: cr: 680 m: 530 w: 660 essay 11
ACT: N/a
SAT IIs: N/A
Rank: 5/130ish
AP classes: AP english language and composition, AP english lit, AP U.S. Govt (online), AP US Psych (online), AP Calc, AP Bio
AP tests: AP English Language and Composition: 4
Essays: I think they were good, except my "Why Reed" was almost embarrassingly enthusiastic (I don't remember exactly, but I believe the word "awesome" was used...as in, "Thesising sounds awesome!")
Recomendations: Good! I really liked the one from my english teacher, wonderfully perceptive. The counselor rec was probably not very good, but we have one counselor for 500+ kids, and most of his energy goes towards students who are on the verge of dropping out
ECs:
Drama Club-4 years, handful of plays, Treasurer
Golf-varsity letter, 3 years
School Board Representative, 2 years
Sophomore Class VP (...pretty insignificant, I don't think I even put it down)

Key Club 4 yrs: VP, Pres, Editor
FBLA 4 years: Treasurer for 2 of them, won awards at regional competition
Guitar lessons
Diversity Club-3 years, facilitated workshop at Diversity Camp
Interview: I toured and interviewed in August. My interviewer was very nice, but as far as interviews go...it was lukewarm.
Location

Description of school: Public, small, crappy and ghetto, not competitive
Ethnicity:Caucasian and Native american

Hook?: Come from crappy area (less than 30% of the graduating class goes to college) enrolled in/worked for tribe
It's nice that Reed took into consideration all the factors (less than impressive public school, low-income area) and didn't eliminate me for my crappy stats. |
