Chances for EA

I am currently a Junior and considering early action for BC.

Ethnicity: Asian

Classes I’ve taken:
Freshman year – Math A Honors, Earth Science Honors, Global Hist Honors, Spanish II Honors
Sophomore year – AP Biology, AP World History, Math B Honors, English Honors, Spanish III Honors
Junior year – AP Chemistry, AP US History, AP Spanish IV, AP English Language & Composition, AP Statistics, Pre-Calculus Honors
What I’ll be taking my senior year – AP Physics B, AP US Gov & Politics, PA English 12 (I decided not to take AP English Language & Composition because the PA class is a lot of writing – something which I prefer to a lot of reading), AP Calculus BC, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and I don’t have room in my schedule for AP Spanish V.

7 APs so far, and 12 APs by end of senior year

Overall GPA – 4.0 weighted
SAT I: 1st time 2120 (CR:700 M:620 W:800) 2nd time 2190 (CR:670 M:750 W:770) . Superscore: 2250
SAT IIs: Will be taking Literature and US History in June. And Math IIC and Chem in October

Rank: I should be within the top 10 of my class – my guess is 5 or 6.

ECs:
-Editor for school’s Literary Magazine
-Math League
-Tennis team
-Science research (a class after school)
-Peer Tutoring
-Key Club
-Asian Cultural Enlightenment Club
-President of English Honor Society
-Treasurer of Math Honor Society
-Secretary of National Honor Society

Awards/Recognitions:
-Writer of the Year Award in my school
-National Merit Scholar (Commended)

Also, I recently got accepted into Walnut Hill’s Writing Program in Dublin for this summer.

*Correction - I meant that I decided not to take AP English literature.

I think you have a very good chance at EA. I would be surprised if you did not get admitted.

You have a great chance. Try to write an essay that will make you stand out and just show a lot of passion for the school. You have a lot of ECs, so as beanieboo said, focus on one of them. Good luck!
