Hi, I’m currently a rising senior and i’m freaking out, because Im supposed to be applying for colleges soon and i have no clue where i stand with that.
If anyone could please give me feedback on what I could do improve my application I’d really appreciate the help.
For grades/academics
My GPA is a 97.6 (not sure what it is after junior year, it might go down a bit)
Im rank #7 of 73
In my past years I’ve taken AP human geography/biology/world history/chemistry and I’m planning to take AP physics/calculus/psychology/literature in my senior year.
Since I reside in NY, I take regents and my grades are as follows
Earth Science:89
Biolgy: 94
Algebra: 88
Geometry: 83 (2017 Exam was difficult)
Chemistry:97
Global Studies: 97
Physics: estimating 90-94
Algebra 2: estimating 83-85
Arabic regents: 93
US history: 98
English:99
For extracurriculars
I am a member of UNICEF, Humanitarian club, MIST, math club, robotics, ethics bowl
I am presidnet of our schools Debate team which is extremely successful, I’ve made the varsity level, and have made top 40 in the state championships.
I am the founder of our schools science olympiad team, and our team grew from 15 in our sophmore year, to 45 in our senior year. We have won a few awards at invitationals, but I’m hoping to go bigger in my senior year.
Work Experience/Programs
THIS IS WHAT IM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT!!! I’m short in this area
I worked at a doctors office between the summer of 10-11th grade
I volunteered at a cancer hospital in Egypt between 9th-10th grade summer, but the problem is they never gave me the slip to show proof of that
I was part of the MCNY program in my Sophomore year
I helped out younger students in science olympiad and got some community service hours for that, but I have barely any CS hours and it freaks me out
SAT/ACT
I’m yet to take my ACT but i took my SAT for the first time in April and it did not work in my favor. I usually score in the 1400’s, but that day was a major mess up and my reading comprehension score was so low and it brought my entire score down, so
1280: 690 math/ 590 Verbal
IM RETAKING IN AUGUST THOO, and it’ll hopefully be 200 points higher
As for what i want to do, I’m not 100% sure yet but I’m thinking medical school. (Looking into Sophie Davis) If not, i know i want a career in science because i loveee science.
IF ANYONE HAS ADVICE FOR ME OR CAN GIVE ANY FEEDBACK OR TIPS I’D BE VERRY GRATEFUL. THANKSS
