So I posted this awhile back and got almost no responses, so I’m trying again. I want to apply ED to CC.

GPA: 3.94 uw and 5 w
SAT: 690 CR, 790 M, 700 W (64 MC, 12 essay) = 2180
I’ll be taking the Math II and Chem SAT IIs in October

I’ve taken 6 AP classes so far, gotten scores for 5 of my exams, I have 3 5s and 2 4s, which means AP scholar with distinction. I don’t know if that will help at all.

I got the national merit commended thing, won’t know about semi-finalist till the fall.

Extracurriculars:
*Gymnastics, since the age of 5, have been J.O. state, regional, and national champion (in the trampoline and tumbling discipline)
*Track & Field, since 7th grade, hold 3 school records (long jump, triple jump, 4x100m), have been MVP, honorable mention for MVP, and gotten the Coach’s Award
*XC junior year, and possibly senior year
*German club since sophomore year, was treasurer junior year, co-president for senior year
*Jewish Culture Club since its founding my sophomore year, leadership position guaranteed senior year
*Student Legislative assembly since sophomore year, environmental committee co-chair senior year
*Science Olympiad, junior and senior year, came in 1st, 4th, and 5th overall at regionals (I was JV then), came in 5th at states
*Envirothon, junior and senior year
*Drama club, was in the Sound of Music junior year, will costume Alice in Wonderland senior year
*I’ve been working at a coffeehouse for almost a year now, I’m a barista

I was inducted into German Honor Society sophomore year and National Honor Society junior year (but the honor societies at my school aren’t very active).

My school was number 9 in the nation based on Newsweek’s listings my sophomore year, my junior year we were 53, but we’re still top 100.

I’m not a URM, but I don’t think North Carolina is all that well represented at Columbia; will that make a difference?
