I’m applying to…

University of Vermont
University of New Hampshire (my top choice)
University of Maine, Orono
University of Southern Maine

Maine is my home state, so I think I’m likely to get into UMaine and USM. UNH is my top choice, and my mom lives in New Hampshire with shared custody of me, so I was able to claim residency there as well. UVM is definitely a reach, and I’ve also applied to Hartwick college, but was waitlisted due to their record number of applicants this year.

I have a 2.9 GPA, which is very low due to my first two years of high school, which I didn’t take seriously enough. In my junior and senior year, I’ve had all A’s and B’s. My classes are all high level, but not AP.

The first time I took the SATS, I got 540 Reading, 530 Writing, and 490 Math. The second time, I got a 580, 570, and 480 respectively. I was very disappointed to have my math score decrease rather than increase.

I’ve been involved with Key Club for three years, Habitat for Humanity for two years, Big Brothers Big Sisters for two years, and I have also been in ICE and Interact.
