Happy new year!!!
UF has been my dream school for a while and recently I’ve been overthinking it and I’m scared I wont get in. I got a 1280 superscored on my SAT and I can’t retake it because it’s too late at this point. I submitted 3 essays through common app hoping to boost my chances (my primary essay is really good, the others are good too).
For my activities I put:
1: Head drum major in my band (11,12th grade; 100+ members)
2: Was a part of a student leadership group in my county (30 ppl, very prestigious)
3: Section leader of 5 people in my band while a drum major (5 ppl in my section)
4: Co-president in Tri-M Music Honor Society
5: Founded a small pop-up, winning 2nd overall in H.S. division
6: Was a part of a leadership counsil with 4 people to address and solve problems in my county.
7: Lead Trumpet in our top jazz band
8: Part-time plumbing job with my dad’s company
9: Founder of a different pop-up (nothing won)
10: Playing tennis as a personal hobby
I feel like these really show leadership but I feel like my SAT score is the only thing holding me back.
