Hi everyone!
I am a current junior at a private rigorus high school in suburban Pennsylvania. I have narrowed my college list to about 10 schools and Swarthmore is one of my top choices. All and any information is appreciated!

Stats:
GPA: 4.197 (W) 4.0 (UW)
SAT: Currently around a 1340- hope to get it up to a 1450 with a few months of prep
Course Load: 3 APs this year (Lang, Physics I, United States History), 3 APs next year (Calc AB, Bio, Stat), everything else honors
Extra curriculars: XC (4 years), Swimming (4 years- state champions), Track (2 years), Chorus (3 years, leadership position), Auditioned chamber choir (2 years, leadership position), Mock Trial (3 years, leadership position), Music Ministry (4 years, leadership), Model UN (4 years), Latin Club (4 years), Math League (3 years), Annenberg Science Symposium (2 years)
Honors Societies: NHS, Tri-M Music Honors, Math Honors, Latin Honors (possible leadership senior year)
Job Experience: Lifeguard (2 years) Starbucks Barista (1 year)
Volunteer Work: 5 hours per week at local hospital
Summer Activities: I applied for a competitive internship at CHOP for this summer, hoping to hear back soon!

I am also beginning my own “medicine” club at school next year for anyone interested in going into that field. I want to major in either biochemistry or biomedical engineering as a pre med with hopes of pursuing med school in my future. If you could tell me (honestly) if Swarthmore is realistic for me and also let me know if there are any other schools that would be matches for me that are worth looking into!
