i attend an underperforming high school and i would be applying for need-based aid, my parents would be able to provide nothing
unweighted GPA: 3.3
class rank: 57/403
SAT: 1220…
since sophomore year i have been doing stage crew & design and production so building sets from scratch and being apart of deck crew for 4 major productions so far
i have also been apart of the school newspaper since then. junior year i was the news column editor and this year i am editor in chief
i participated in an outside mentorship program called ACE my junior year, since my intended major is related to architecture but at bmc specifically it would be the growth and structure of cities major, because i want to combine my interest in architecture and passion in social justice.
i took a lot of AP and IB courses and i passed with a mix of As, (mainly) Bs, and a few Cs on my transcript
bmc is my top choice because i truly have such a desire and passion to learn and my purpose in doing so is to pursue a career where i can create change as much as i can, even if on a local level, because that’s where it starts. i cannot convey my drive and ambition enough in this post or else i’d just be writing out my college essay, but multiple statements across their website describes me verbatim. the teachers ive had can attest to that. i genuinely would be a perfect fit at bryn mawr and i would 100% be able to handle the academic rigor. i take my studies very seriously but my home life has so many factors that i cannot use as excuses but are genuine reasons as to why i was not able to dedicate my full time to excelling in all the classes i took. this includes helping raise, take care of, tutor, etc. my younger neurodivergent brother. i know that there is extremely high competition for this school but it was one of the last things i found out as i was researching it. if anyone’s willing to help, it’d be greatly appreciated, but i understand if this is just lost
