IMSA Applicant Class of 2023

Thought I’d share my academic statistics here. What should I improve and what am I doing well?

  • GENERAL -

Ethnicity: Hispanic

Gender: Male

Region: Chicagolands

Grade: 9th

  • ACADEMICS -

GPA: It’s around the 3.6 - 4.0 range, unweighted.
.
SAT: 1120 (Practice Test 1 back in May 2019), I’m taking a practice test tomorrow.

Grades: 3 Bs and the rest (n = 5) are As. Again, this should be improving shortly.

  • EXTRACURRICULARS -
  • Math Team (9th grade)
  • Swim Team (9th grade, winter season)
  • Yearbook Club (6th, 7th, and 8th grade), probably doing this during freshman year too.
  • Student Council (6th and 8th grade)
  • National Junior Honor Society (8th grade)
  • PROMISE Program (9th grade, throughout the admissions process on Saturdays)

I’ve volunteered at the library for about two years now, but I haven’t signed up for this school year though. Should I?

  • AWARDS -
  • National Junior Honor Society Membership (8th grade)
  • President's Award for Educational Excellence (8th grade)
  • Freshman team ranked 2nd place for the first meet of NSML (North Suburban Mathematics League)
  • COURSELOAD -
  • Introduction to Business
  • Accelerated Spanish III (Because I'm a native Spanish speaker, duh)
  • Accelerated Chemistry
  • Accelerated Geometry and Trigonometry
  • Accelerated English I
  • AP World History: Modern

Accelerated courses are equivalent to honors courses, due to my local high school not having them.

Thanks for reading.
