Rising senior here. Female from a small but top ranked public school in PA. I’m definitely starting to really freak out about college, so any advice or thoughts or anything about how you think I’d fair with Williams would be much appreciated. Hopefully I have at least a somewhat decent shot…

GPA: 4.26 (weighted) (unweighted=?)
Class rank: school doesn’t do it
ACT: 31
SATs: 2120 (740 W 700 CR 680 M)
SAT subjects: haven’t taken yet, but planning on U.S. History and Literature.

Main classes… (not counting electives etc.)
Freshman: H English 9, H Algebra 2, Chemistry, Spanish 3, American Civics
Sophomore: H English 10, H FST, H Bio, Spanish 4, H World History
Junior: H English 11, H PreCalc, Physics, APUSH (5 on exam)
Senior: AP Lit, AP Cakc AB, AP Bio, Politics/Econ

ECs: varsity cross country (3rd in state), long distance track & field, school literary magazine editor, school newspaper editor, co-founder/secretary Young Arborist Club (community service for local area parks), National Honor Society, volunteer hours at church with fundraising and vacation bible school, student ambassador trip to Australia, worked for two summers at a doctor’s office

Other: Distinguished GPA, Rotary Club Award, Top 3 Poetry Award, published in Green Lantern Press…

You can probably guess that I have an interest in English. I’m thinking I might major in English while on the pre-med track.

Other schools I’m considering: Kenyon, Davidson, Middlebury, Vassar, Colgate, Hamilton, and (super duper reach) Dartmouth.

Thanks for any help! Hopefully I’m not utterly doomed.
