@iPink123, let me start by saying congratulations on what you have accomplished so far. It is funny that @inthegarden tagged me on this thread as I just watched a YouTube video on an African American female with similar grades (3.86 WGPA) in a similar sized high school class who took the ACT 7 times (highest score 25), SAT 5 times (highest super score 1200) who was accepted and will attend a top 30 National USNWR school. That student had a very nice EC profile and was a accomplished writer.
Your own profile is underrepresented as a young minority woman looking at a STEM focused field and you still have time to improve your resume. Having a job is a great extracurricular, and look to find others that you are passionate about (Starting or Joining a Data Science Club?). My family’s passion is giving back to our community which has given back more than we have served. Your passion may do the same while also helping you go to college.
Find some time at targeted ACT prep this summer (My son saw improvements with short 10-15 minute a day reviews over his weaknesses on Khan Academy after entering his practice ACT results profile). Look at your Ohio public and some of the Ohio private institutions that have your major. Don’t be afraid to take your shot at reach schools, but look for how you would fit in at all schools (size of the school, location, your major, school culture, support services at each school, etc.)
I would also advise to take a look at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). If that is not what you are looking for in a college, I understand, but some HBCUs may offer significant merit aid for a student with your credentials. Again, look at how your major fits at all schools as you may find varying levels of expertise in your major.
My last piece of advise is around essays. Spend some time this summer thinking about the narrative you want to craft towards college and scholarship essays. I believe that being able to craft essays that are “authentic” and sharing your story can make all of the difference in college admissions and in “securing the bag”. Good luck to you.
