| Should I apply EA?
Hey all, I am definitely applying to BC but I was wondering if I would be competitive enough to apply EA. Here are some stats:
Gender: M
State: Texas
ACT: 33 ( 34E,34R,34M,30S hopefully retake and get a 34+)
GPA: About a 98 weighted. Very large upward grade trend
Rank: Top 15%
Highschool: Competitive. 98% go to 4-year college. 100% graduate.
Courseload: Most rigorous. 11 APs by graduation (World H, US H, Lang, Chem, Bio, Physics, Calculus, Statistics, Lit, Government, Macro Economics) At my school, 12 is the most APs possible to take.
-5 on AP World History Sophomore year
ECs:
Principal Clarinetist All-Region Band - Junior
All-State Band - Junior
School marching band was state champions Freshman year
SADD Vice-President and helped found it
Student Council Community Service Committee head junior year. Helped organize a Walk-athon that raised ~30k for a cancer charity.
Student Council Treasurer Senior year (elected position)
NHS Member
Will have about 100-150 hours of community service at a center for sexually abused children by the fall.
Note:
I had fairly poor grades my freshman and sophomore years (B's in Spanish, Chemistry) because of a family crisis. My dad was arrested for drug possesion the summer before my sophomore year and sentenced to 6 months jail, 5 months rehab. That point in my life was extraordinarily stressful. |
