Hi everyone! I know you really don’t like doing these chance things, but I would be elated if you gave me an honest comment. So what are my chances?

GPA- 4.2 (weighted)
3.8 (unweighted)

Class Rank- 8/200

Courses- Pretty much taken the hardest courses possible throughout school. Always in honors courses. My school doesn’t offer any AP courses until junior year, and then only one, US History. Still, next year I will be taking four APs (English, Biology, AB Cal, and Spanish)

Freshman Year- Only a B in math, everything else As

Sophmore Year- All As

Junior Year- All As

Extracurriculars- Mock Trial (3 years), JSA (3 years), Environmental Club (Secretary- 3 years), Drama Club (Parliamentarian/Publicity- 3 years), Spanish Club (3 years), Newspaper (Editor in Chief- 1 year, writer/layout 3 years), Student Council (Rep. all 3 years), Century Club (Academic Honors Club- 3 years), NHS (1 year).

I am particularly interested in journalism and I have been writing for a local town-wide newspaper since I was a freshman. I would estimate that I have published about 150 articles in that paper to date. My dream would be to a Medill student.

Also I started my own environmental magazine, ECO Life, and I am Founder/President/Editor in Chief. Also will be attending NU Cherub Program for Journalism in summer.
