Hi, I realize that decisions come out in less than a week but I need some closure for the rejection I expect is coming my way. I threw this together really quickly so please let me know if I should add more information! I’m applying to DC as a history major. Thank you!

GPA: 3.5 UW (school doesn’t weigh or have AP classes – Honors are the equivalent of AP)

Courseload: Most challenging classes my schedule accommodates except math (school offers higher math courses)

SAT: 800 Math, 760 Reading

SAT II: 790 Math II, 750 English Lit – APs: US History (5), English Lang (4)

ECs worth mentioning:

extensive field research on undescribed subtropical plants in Ecuador, presented research in Boston

summer intern at local historical society, preserved and curated manuscripts and exhibits

historical research under professor from local university

campus ropes course instructor (leadership position), theater backstage tech crew (leadership position)

summer job managing 10+ other people

Essays and LOR: mediocre at best I guess? I’m not exactly sure how I can rate myself on these
