<p>SAT: Didn’t take
ACT: 28 (made the same score three times in a row. Swarthmore was the only school I sent my scores to three times in a row, heh. My math is my lowest point (20 on one), English being my highest (35 on one)
GPA: 4.429 Weighted (4.0 unweighted)
Class Rank: Valedictorian (along with four others haha) out of 140</p>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<p>Essays: My main essay got good feedback from the three I let read it. I wrote about the day my mother passed away and how I changed from that day forward. My “Why Swat?” essay was pretty peripheral. I’ve never visited, and I don’t know anyone that’s ever went there. I just talked about the pamphlets and the DVD Swarthmore sent me and why it inspired me to apply to their school. They really did have an affect one me. I would say writing is my strong point.
- Teacher Recs: Both were great. My teachers are really rooting for me.
- Counselor Rec: Pretty amazing. I gave him some information about myself, and he talked with some of my teachers.
- Hook (if any): Um…I’m black? I also live in Louisiana, which I would guess is an under-represented area. I’m first-generation, low-income, all that bad stuff that colleges think is good.
I didn’t send any supplements. </p>
