This is so extremely unhealthy. The whole worrying about college right before AP exams start. Agh!

So!

Enrolled in a Law program at our school and I have completed 7 law credits for that particular program.
Random SSL here and there, a few hours at local play theatre, few hours at an organic farm, etc.
Attended a lot of random camps: leadership, math, writing, heroes and villians, overseas, forestry, etc.


Job Experience

Waitressing…bleh! But that’s what partially motivated me into business.

School Rep & etc.


Public + County School
A little above average; not too competitive
Either not many apply to ivies or not many get in…most people decide to stay in state


** Recs and Essays **

I will pound out a glittering, SCINTILLATING essay for those people to read. Yes, I will.

Recs will be pretty awesome

Questions and Concerns


I know my ECs sound a bit off and my disorganized choice of camps reflect my personality in freshman and sophmore years, but now I am thoroughly convinced that I want to go to uPenn. I actually haven’t considered any alternatives, which is…bad.
How much higher should I shoot for in the SATs? June will be my last chance to take it. Be mean to my SAT scores because in my school, that’s an above average score…but that’s just average to me.
What should my 3rd SAT II be?
Is my UW GPA too low?
Any other advice?


Thanks!
