So I’m your typical soulless asian applicant without the asian accomplishments
Here are my stats:
SAT: 2220 (one sitting) Math: 800 CR: 750 Writing: 670 ( 8 on essay…)
*planning on retaking in october, currently scoring 2300+ on practice tests
SAT 2s: USH: 800 Math 2: 720
*planning on retaking Math 2 and taking Lit in November
AP: APUSH: 5 APGOV:5 APCALCAB: 5 APES: 4 APLAC: 4
GPA: ( not definate but approximation) 3.7 UW/ 4.3 W
***Upward GPA trend!! 2 B+s and 1 B in Freshman year, 4 B+s in Sophomore year … but STRAIGHT As in Junior year
Took all honors classes and 1 AP sophomore year and 4 in junior year
Rank: top 5% 14 out of 300+ kids from just freshman and sophomore year hopefully in top 10 after straight As in junior year…

EC:
Secretary of FBLA- sophomore year
Community Service VP- junior year (raised $2000 for March of Dimes)
Features Editor for newspaper club- junior year
President of NJ Youth ( founded human rights/ community service club junior year)
JV Tennis- Freshman and Sophomore year

Community service:
Volunteer at local Salvation army and in charge of reading program for lower-income kids

Awards
Second Place in school writing competition for human rights piece- sophomore year
Third place in science league- freshman year
AP Scholar

****Obviously, my stats are not spectacular, and I’m highly unlikely to get into top schools because of my lackluster academic/ extracurricular performance so far. But in truth, I feel that I have matured throughout high school, and through my experience working with lower-income kids and trying to teach them to enjoy education and learn I have learned myself the value of education–it is not just another “mandatory” qualification for success and a source of pride, it is the chance to improve oneself to become much greater. (sounds really corny but I REALLY feel this way ;x)

planning on applying ED to Northwestern IF it helps and I actually still have a shot of getting in ED lol :///
