So far her APs are 5,5,4,4,3. She really learned from the 3, the only one she took freshman year (Human Geo). I don’t think that will happen again. I’m confident we will see 5s and 4s on the APs she is taking this year. 34 ACT and will take again in April as a required activity for HS juniors. Taking Lit/Math I Subject tests in December. Has 700/640 on different tests but wants to bring those up.
ECs
She’s very involved in politics. She’s the Opposition Research Campaign Manager for an Alabama State Senate candidate in the 2018 midterms. She’s also a major campaign contributor for an Alabama State House candidate. (She refers to herself as Don Quixote with a blue lance attacking the red windmills.) She is editor in chief and founder of a political journal for her HS that covers the effects of legislation, such as minority access to healthcare, that effect the cancer community. (At least 12 articles written and several more edited.) She has been in Girl Scouts of America for 10 years and has a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award (just waiting for the ceremony). Sits on Girl Scouts National Council as a representative for local and national issues that effect girls and women in her community. Was a campaign volunteer on the Doug Jones senate run in 2017. She is seeking an internship with one of her senators for next summer. She is also going to start a women’s organization in Bosnia (where her mother is from) that empowers women and provides them resources to succeed. Something that is really needed there. To that end, she will be volunteering for a local women’s organization this winter to seek guidance and funding for her venture next summer.
Are these the types of ECs that will get her consideration? She doesn’t have any national awards (unless Girl Scouts counts), but she has a real passion for politics. Should she be targeting different experiences or ECs while she still has time?
