In state
I have a 3.92 UW GPA (my school doesn’t weight AP classes)
My 2 SAT scores are: 1280 (690 CR 590 M 18/24 Essay) and 1250 (660 CR 590 M 21/24 Essay) (Equivalent to a 27 and 26)
APs: US History + Lang: 4 Government: 5
Classes: In my school, underclassmen aren’t typically allowed to take AP classes, and honors/IB is not offered. However I did take Spanish for 4 years beginning in 8th grade and ending my junior year. My junior year I took the 3 APs listed above. Senior year I am taking AP World History, AP Human Geography, AP English Lit, Precalculus (one of the hardest classes offered in my school), Chemistry, Art 1, and Yearbook.
I am thinking I am in the top 10%-20% of my class (However, if APs were weighted, I would most likely be in the top 5%-10%)

My extracurricular activities are:
Tutoring in Spanish
Model UN (Junior Secretary General)
Gay Straight Alliance (Vice President)
A local community service club (Co-leader)
Foreign Exchange
National Honor Society
Working part-time as a lab technician
Piano and Voice
Political volunteering/canvassing

I am the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants (so a black female)

My Common App essay was okay, my UMich community essay was (in opinion) pretty good, and my ‘Why’ essay was pretty good, but not as good as my community essay.

My letter of recommendation is really good (written by my favorite teacher)

Thank you very much!!
