My mom is a single parent low income educator, and college is expensive. I’m content at my current university, but putting in transfer apps to those with better finaid. We make below 60k, so Ivys are on my list. I’ll try to be brief, but these things rarely are!

Current School: State Flagship
Major: Triple major in Philosophy, French, and Art History, with a minor in Italian (only intend on keeping Philosophy and either french or art history at new school due to ap cred)
Entering as: Junior
High School GPA:3.5
College GPA:4.0 (a little more with weighting, but why nit pick)
SAT/ACT Scores:33
SAT II Scores:700 lit, 720 French
Significant ECs: Leadership in my schools Humanities/Fine Art Department Club, Museum internships

Non-empiricals
My essays do cite the whole specific reason to transfer, and this differed for each school

Ridiculous amount of AP tests in highschool, I came in as a junior, but I don’t intend to transfer AP Credit. Took tests without the classes.

Self taught french in High School, and skipped language levels in highschool (I took two different languages.)

Extremely good relationships with my professors, I’m deciding between law school and pursuing my Ph.D. and becoming a professor.

Published in a few minor literary and philosophy magazines (i.e. Home grown), and my friends and I hold regular DIY art shows in NYC and Boston that I show my paintings in. We usually get about 2-300 people, nothing major, it’s just for fun.

Good with languages (?). Native english, but speak french well, and have a sufficient grasp of German, Italian, Portuguese, and Norwegian (which barely counts, Norsk doesn’t even conjugate verbs by subject).

Schools: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, Columbia, Vassar, Wesleyan, Middlebury, Brown, and Dartmouth.

Thank you! and if you have schools to suggest, please do!
