NOTE THIS IS NOT MY LIST, JUST COLLEGES IM CURIOUS ABOUT
GPA: UW-3.86/4.0, this is of course a rsult of grade deflation, although I attend a public school in Maine, it is insanely competitive, to give you a sense our school had 10-15 kids get into ivies last year, but it also sucks because it is pretty small so my class rank is just outside top 10%… ugh. There is potential for me to claw my way in S1, but I am not goin to rely on that.
SAT: One sitting
CR: 690 (retake to get up to 750+)
M: 760 (retake maybe to just improve it in general)
W: 660 (retake to get this 730+)

SAT 2: terrible, retaking for 700+ in both literature and math 2c

ECs (These will all be four year activities unless specified as another duration)
Mock Trial (state champions last season, maybe next season also!)
WAC/MUN 2 conferences attended, 2 delegate awards, will attend one next fall and spring
Math Team
Jazz Band
Orchestra
1 year inducted into NHS
Teaching assistant at a synagogue teaching a variety of ages
3 summers of being a camp counselor

Essay: Its gonna be really good, my summers as a camp counselor have all been spent with the youngest age group (3-4 years old) so I’m going to talk about how challenging and rewarding of an experience it was

Recs: Should be decent

No need for financial aid
