African-American High School Class of 2016

Hi everyone! I’m also late, haha. I was trying to wait until I received all of my college decisions to post here, but that would mean waiting until March or April and I just don’t have the patience. I’m an African American girl. My ACT composite is 30 and my GPA is 3.98 UW (4.72 W). I have a good number of extracurriculars and volunteer work, not a huge number of activities, but I have been doing them for a long time so hopefully I get points for commitment haha.

So far, I’ve been accepted to University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, University of Illinois-Chicago, Rockford University, Illinois State University, Spelman University, Soka University of America, and Temple University. I also got deferred to Regular Decision from University of Chicago. I’m still waiting for decisions from Howard. I also applied to and awaiting decisions from Syracuse, Northwestern, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton (I know those last three are super duper extreme reaches but my motto is if you don’t try you will never know haha).

Sadly, no outside scholarships yet, but I have gotten some institution scholarships. Congratulations to all of you with your acceptances and scholarships so far! Good luck with your remaining schools and scholarships!
