Stats:

ACT:
GPA: 4.2W
Rank: 33/339
Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): 5 AP Spanish, 4 AP Eng Lang, 5 AP USH, taking 6 APs this year

Subjective

Essays: honest, maybe too honest
Teacher Recs: sounded very strong, IMO (english and math teachers, had both in class for 3+ years)
Counselor Rec: no idea, counselor doesn't know me well
Supplementary Material: none
Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): URM?

Personal

Other

Extracurriculars: President of Young Democrats, Secretary/Treasurer in Model UN, Newspaper/Yearbook Photographer, founding member of Math Honor Society, Producer and Host of original weekly TV segment
Awards: National Hispanic Scholar Finalist, a few local science competitions
Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: Can't say I was surprised. I'm actually glad I didn't get flat-out rejected. Most likely the low GPA and SATIIs are what got me. My midyear report should be excellent, and I'll be retaking the SAT Physics.
