I’m an URM with a 3.5/ 3.7 uw/ w GPA. I have a 30 ACT, but I’m hoping to increase it. I received a 1410/1520 on my PSAT and I’m hoping to receive National Merit Status. I’ve taken the most rigorous classes at my school and my school is ranked #1 in my state. By the time I graduate, I will have taken 12 AP classes. I’ve been involved in scientific research since second grade, started playing percussion in the second grade, club tennis since 5 years old and school varsity tennis for 3 years, black student union member, and I’m also president of a community organization that looks to help disadvantaged and underprivileged portions of my city. I have over 100 hours of volunteering under my belt. I believe that I’ll have stellar letters of recommendation from 2 teachers and even one from my principal. I anticipate on writing an incredible essay.
Do you think I have a shot, and if so, is it worth applying early?
Thank you!
