I’m trying to apply for CAS, regular decision. I’m done with everything, except i have to send in my school forms late because I began my app after winter break started.
I just got deferred by U of Michigan, so I’m low in faith right now, but here we go.

ACT: 32, writing-8

GPA: 3.83 unweighted, 4.03 weighted

Vigor: every single honor and ap i was ever offered, ap calc chem and english this year.

Ranking: higher top 20%, our school has 3000 kids and is pretty competitive

EC: no varsity sport , jv tennis freshman year, yearbook, hospital volunteering, work experience for a chinese Otolaryngology academic journal as translator for 2 years through emails, club green (our school’s environmental club) for 2 years

Essays: the 3 short answers are decent, not super duper creative, but personal. the common app ones are said to be awesome, but then again I don’t know what admission officers want exactly.

Recs: a really sweet/long/good one, then two that I’ve never seen

Background: chinese born canadian citizen, lives in michigan, girl, with no alumni in the family.

I appreciate your replies in advance, I really need some advice right now because I don’t want to settle for my safe school.
