Let me preface this by saying I’ve struggled with mild to severe depression throughout high school, and have only received help recently.
I don’t expect to get into either to be quite honest, but who knows. I’m not sure if it makes a differnce but I’ve attended a top 1% national high school, taken mostly AP courses, and have “exceptional” recommendations.
Rank: 345/355
GPA: 75
SAT: 1850
I don’t have as accomplished a portfolio, but did start a film club at my school.
I can take honesty, so go for it.
