<p>Standardized Testing:</p>
<p>Did not take ACT
SAT - CR: 750, Math: 720, Writing: 800
GPA - 4.1 weighted… LOL? basically did nothing up to last semester of sophomore year, also very little grade inflation at my high school so my class rank wasn’t so bad.</p>
<p>4 APs, the rest Honors.</p>
<p>My “Why Reed” essay was really strong, seems to be a theme around here. My common app essay was also good although I found a typo…
My ECs are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Four years as a Creative Writing major at an art school —> 100 page published senior thesis, numerous Scholastic Art and Writing national awards</li>
<li>Editor of school newspaper</li>
<li>Tutoring</li>
<li>Student government without leadership position</li>
<li>some others</li>
</ul>
<p>My letters were probably really great, but everyone has that.</p>
<p>Also, from South Carolina. I’m sure that helped.</p>
