Hi! I’m new to CC and was hoping to get any feedback. Thanks in advance!
Female, White
Prospective major: Engineering/Physics
School:
9-11 Arizona (Competitive) , 12 Connecticut (Moderate) (I moved summer 2008)
Arizona Class Rank: 5/551, Connecticut Class Rank: 2/196
GPA: Arizona UW 3.97/W 4.27, Connecticut about 95ish? (They have a different grading system)

APs:
US (5)
Calculus BC (4)
School in Arizona only offered 3 APs (did IB courses instead), was an IB Diploma candidate with a concentration in math/physics until I transferred schools my senior year
Junior Year: IB Physics/IB Accelerated Calculus/IB English/IB 20th Century History/French IIV/Concert Choir
Senior Year: AP Physics/AP Biology/AP English/Civics (required)/Calculus (highest math offered, moved too late to register at a college)/Psychology/French IV

SAT: CR 710 M 800 W 730 (1510/2240, single-sitting)
SAT II: Math Level II 800 Literature 670, taking Biology and US History in January (expect 700+ for both)

Varsity Dance Team (10, 11, lettered 2x)
Dance Training (12 years, ballet/contemporary/jazz/hip-hop, member of a studio dance company)
Varsity Soccer (9, 12, lettered, captain)
Volunteer Dance/Soccer Coach
High School Concert Choir (11)
2 Engineering Internships (at small companies)
National Honor Society (11, 12, organized fundraisers)

Essays: I’m not really sure about the quality of them because I’m biased…I got great feedback, so hopefully people were honest, but I can say that they are very different from each other

Recommendations:
Teacher 1: French teacher for 3 years, very good
Teacher 2: IB English teacher, did not see recommendation, but I think that it will be strong
Counselor: I only knew her for about 2 weeks (because I moved my senior year), but it talked a lot about how well I adapted given the situation, so maybe that will help?
I’m hoping the fact that I moved my senior year and was able to adapt will help me slightly…any comments are greatly appreciated!
