UMichigan (was born in Ann Arbor, dad used to teach there), UIllinois (dad went there), Loyola U Chicago, UConn, U of Maryland, Macalester College, Oberlin College, U of Minnesota (in-state, dad teaches there).

I’m a junior in high school in Minnesota. My unweighted GPA so far is 3.53 (awful, I know) and my ACT composite is 32 (33 English, 28 Math, 33 Reading, 32 Science). I just took the SAT this March and am waiting on my results. I plan on taking the SAT Subject Tests in Math II, Biology and Lit. My school does not count freshman year since freshmen take classes in the middle school buildings.

Sophomore year:
Varsity Choir
Enriched (same as most school’s Honors) English 10
Functions, Stats and Trig (math that most juniors take, so it’s advanced)
AP World History (sophomores were only allowed to take AP history)
Enriched Chemistry
Philharmonic Orchestra
Spanish III

Junior year:
AP US History
Precalculus (math that most seniors take)
Enriched Biology
Concert Choir
Symphony Orchestra
AP American Literature
Enriched Spanish IV

Senior year:
AP World Literature
AP Psychology, then AP Comparative Gov. and Politics second semester.
AP Spanish IV
AP Statistics
Concert Choir
Symphony Orchestra

Extracurriculars:
I ran track during spring of freshman year
I’ve been doing theatre in the fall and spring (mainly backstage and pit orchestra; planning on performing more next year) since sophomore year
I’ve been doing mock trial since freshman year
I’ve been volunteering at the local hospital since start of sophomore year
