I applied to both via Questbridge but wasn’t matched. They’re the last two schools I’ll be finding out about, so naturally I’m getting anxious for Friday and Feb 15…

Ethnicity/gender: White female
Income Bracket: parents divorced, primary household income <25k (which I suppose is conveyed through the QB application)
High School: large competitive public school in Tennessee that opened in 2008; I’ll be in the first class to go all 4 years.
Intended Major: Neuroscience
Showing Interest: I email Emory probably more than they like haha, and I have visited both schools

1) GPA as of the end of junior year?:
UW - 3.96
W - 4.26
Because I have no urge to type all of my classes and grades out,

Last semester I look AP Language (99), Honors Bio 2 (96), AP Euro (95), and Gov/Econ (98, 98). Euro’s a yearlong class, so they won’t add the 5 points for an AP class until May. boo. It’s technically a 100.
This semester, I’m taking AP Euro, AP Biology, Peer Tutoring, AP Stats, and a Biological Anthropology duel enrollment class at the local community college.


2) Rank: 25/543, the last time I was told. The school technically does deciles, though.

3) 7 AP classes when I graduate - 3 Junior year, 4 Senior year.
(Lit, Calc AB, Calc BC, Lang, Bio, Euro, Stats)

4) ACT: 32 comp both times.
first time - Eng:35, Math:31, Sci:28, Reading:32.
second time - Eng:34, Math:29, Sci:32, Reading:34.
(Emory was sent both, Virginia was sent the last one)

5) Volunteering/Jobs
-Mission trip to Bronx '09
-Mission trip to Boston '10
-Salvation Army every week
-Math and biology tutor
-Babysitting weekly for my church and 1-3 times a week for an ER nurse overnight.

5) ECs and random things:
-Disclaimer: I’m responsible for taking and picking up 3 other kids (1 is a sibling) from school because there’s no bus, as we transferred to this school, and they have no other way home, so it hinders my chances to do a lot of ECs. and yes, I did get to explain this to them on my QB application.
-Two Duke TIP summer studies (one for Art and Architecture, the other for Clinical Psychology)
-I attend monthly lectures at the University of Tennessee’s Medical Center, shadow doctors overnight several times a semester, and will have a 6-week paid internship at the hospital this summer.
-Questbridge College Prep Scholar, attended the Yale conference, QB finalist.
-TSA (Technology Student Association); 16-time trophy winner, including 5 at Nationals.
-National Honor Society
-Mu Alpha Theta (math club)
-Science Club
-STEM Girls Sorority (too weird to explain lol)
-first ever Student of the Month (HEY, I AM PROUD.)
-Awards for all A’s, minus one semester… stupid Calculus.
