White female
Out of state from Alaska (does being from a less common state help for diversity?)
i go to a boarding school in Washington (state)

GPA: 4.64(W), we don’t show unweighted
RANK: we don’t rank
SAT: I know these are bad scores let me just say, I’m hoping that when I take it again in October I can score higher (1910: 640 math, 670 writing, 600 reading)

CLASSES: All of my classes have been IB in junior and senior years, in underclassmen years I took all honors classes
THIS YEAR: IB HL English, IB HL History, IB SL Math Studies, IB SL French IV, IB HL Biology, IB HL Film

EXTRA-CURRICULARS:

Theatre-4 years, supporting roles in underclassmen years, leading roles as a junior, crew as a senior, won 2nd place at State festival for group performance

I’m applying Early Decision and I was wondering if that could help my chances since my SATs are much lower than the usual OOS scores.

Thanks so much for your help everyone!
