First of all, I am so very sorry about what happened with your aunt and the impact it had on you. If you have a good college counselor at school, their recommendation could include a line about your circumstance affecting grades. Beyond that, identifying as African American (not sure Arab carries the same weight, but going on identifying as African American) is an Under represented minority status. That will help ALOT. Any other hooks? First generation college student? Your SAT scores are good. Look to get near perfect grades this year and put a lot of time and effort into your essay, activity list ect. Make it flawless. Have a teacher check grammar/spelling. Do NOT list an expensive college program on your application. This hurts your application not helps it. It means nothing that the school itself is a selective school hosting it. Only if you received a scholarship to these programs should they be listed! Your internship means MUCH more. list that. Yes, Georgetown recommends 3 Subject tests. But I know students who have gotten in with only top AP scores. Apply to your state schools as well as some other easier admit schools, but it’s fine to try some super hard schools too. That URM status makes your situation different. But you have to work hard this year. Sounds like you have taken too much rigor. GPA is very important.
