I’m currently in the process of applying to colleges, but I thought posting this would help reel me back into reality and approach my essays from a practical perspective.

SAT: 1360 (superscored)

ACT: 30 (superscored)

Class Rank: 12 out of 365 (?)

GPA unweighted: 4.0

GPA weighted: 4.42

I have taken 4 APs so far, those being: AP Euro (3), APUSH (5), AP Lang (4), AP Psych (4)

I am currently taking 4 more APs my senior year (AP Lit, AP Human Geo, AP Calc AB, and AP Bio)

extracurriculars: Tri-M (9th), Marching Band (9th), Art Club (9th), ACE (9th, 10th, 11th), Key Club (11th, 12th) - currently have 25 service hours from last year, NHS (12th)

outside of school, I tutor 2 kids (since 9th grade) and take piano lessons (since 8th grade)

a first-generation student (Asian)

my teacher recs will be pretty good because they're from teachers I know quite well and have received excellent grades in their classes (and both are alumnis from Chapel Hill as well); my APUSH teacher is doing one of them and he also grades for the college board, and he said that he enjoyed reading my leqs so maybe that will help? idk

overall, I'm not the best student, but I would still like some feedback

I also heard that the county you live in impacts your chances of getting in?? I’m from Mecklenburg so I’m not sure if that’s going to do me any favors
