<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>17 Year old white male from Queen Anne’s County, MD here. I’ll post my academics stats then my extracurriculars later.</p>
<p>But first off, schools. I’m looking to be a Film/Comp Sci major:
Cornell
Boston College
UMD
Colby
Bowdoin
Bates
St. Mary’s in Maryland (safety)
and possibly Princeton because my dad knows the Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. Whether or not I apply there depends on how much this connection will help.</p>
<p>Academics:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.66 UW/4.05W
Rank: 21/150
SAT: 720 CR, 640 M, 750 W
SAT II: 560 Math II, 600 Latin, 640 Lit (yeah I know) These will be going up.
ACT: 31 - I may just use this to cover up my horrible subject tests
HARDEST courseload available by far – even completed online AP European History despite a 50% dropout rate. This was the first online AP course in the entire Archdiocese.
Recommendations and Essay will hopefully be good. </p>
