[] ACT: 35 composite (36 M/34 W/35 R/35 S)
[] SAT II: 800 Math II, 740 US History
[] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): not sure…out of 4.3 it’s like a 4.0/4.1 though
[] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): don’t rank, but definitely top 10% at least. Maybe top 5%? 400+ students in class, I would guess top 20 so yeah probably top 5%
[] AP (place score in parenthesis): US history (5)
[] IB (place score in parenthesis): n/a
[] Senior Year Course Load: AP Calc BC, AP Econ (micro/macro), AP Spanish, AP Statistics, English 4A, independent study in journalism, Physics Honors

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

[] Job/Work Experience: Umpire, gym supervisor, library page 11 hours/week senior year
[] Volunteer/Community service: 100+ hours through key club. Special Olympics once
[] Summer Activities: NSLC program at Fordham. Nothing special
[] Essays: I don’t know…okay? good? I liked them or else I wouldn’t have sent them. Supplement was very lengthy (~1000 words, but I really couldn’t eliminate anything) and I guess my common app was good.
[] Teacher Recommendation: Not sure. Must have been good
[] Counselor Rec: Not sure. Again, must have been good. (didn’t read my recs)
[] Additional Rec: none
[] Interview: none. I suck at interviews, and heard it was just to gauge interest. I think EDing should show my interest
[/ul]Other[ul]
[] State (if domestic applicant): NJ
[] Country (if international applicant):
[] School Type: public
[] Ethnicity: white
[] Gender: male
[]Income Bracket: I guess upper middle
[] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): nada
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: test scores, GPA, I’d like to think ECs but can’t tell
[] Weaknesses: recommendations. Never really form bonds with my teachers…. I do good work, study, and do what I need to. Didn’t take honors/AP English after freshman year. Thought that would hurt me.
[] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: No one certain thing… I guess I looked like a well-rounded applicant…didn’t take honors English, but very very involved with newspaper.
[li] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: No where – I haven’t received decisions from anywhere I applied yet. I have to withdraw apps from Wisconsin, Michigan, UVa, Cal, and UCLA, and I will not be applying anywhere else, of course. Was planning on applying to Cornell, BC, Gtown, UNC. [/ul][/li]General Comments: Just very happy to know where I’m going now.
