@bessieh Sure thing.
ACT: 30 (I only took it once)
GPA: 3.8
I also applied through Common App.
I am currently taking AP literature, AP psychology, AP Spanish, and AP macroeconomics. I did not send any of my AP scores from previous years and I never took any subject tests.
My essay and personal statement were both really well-written and conveyed my personality well.
I did not read my recommendations but I have a close relationship with both of my recommenders and I assume they were both pretty good.
I have plenty of extracurriculars and a ton of community service, but I’m not sure how much that matters in admissions at St. Andrews (if it does at all).
I applied to a different school early decision and I am now waiting on their response. If I am not accepted, I will most likely be attending St. Andrews next year. Either way, I am super excited.
Good luck to you! Maybe I will see you at St. Andrews in the future.
