Hello College Confidential, lately I’ve become more and more worried about my chances at applying to college. Bowdoin has always been high on my list, and I felt who better to ask than people familiar with Bowdoin themselves.

ACT: 35 (single sitting)
GPA: 4.13
Rank: 21/240
AP Tests (all self studied): English Lit (5), Chinese (5), Psychology (5), Microeconomics (5), Macroeconomics (5), World History (5)
Predicted IB Score: 45/45

I’m an IBD student so I don’t take AP classes. I take the most rigorous course-load available.

Extracurriculars:
Editor-in-Chief of School Magazine
Founder and Co-President of School Chess Club
MUN member (won two local awards)
Volunteered teaching English to kids every Saturday morning
Semi-finalist winner of National research competition in China

American living in China here. Thanks!
