I’m interested in applying, but I feel like my stats aren’t that great-- honestly I didn’t realize how many really smart people there are in the world until I started looking at summer programs T-T Here’s a rough estimate of my stats:
GPA 4.0 unweighted (not sure about my weighted but I’ve taken a lotta AP/honors classes)/ 2nd in my class
SAT II United States History: 760
AP US History: 4
ACT: 34 (only a 29 in math but 36 in science-- will that hurt me??) PSAT: 209 SAT: Taking in two weeks
Currently taking: AP Calculus BC, AP Human Geography, AP Computer Science, AP Literature, AP Chemistry
Extra-Curricular: Varsity Speech Team (Three years), Varsity Swimming (Four Years), Rochester Public School Foundation board member, Key Club (maybe secretary if I get voted on; 2 years), Volunteered for the local DFL office for many, many hours
I think that’s it-- any help? Should I even try for really competitive programs like Yale’s? (Sorry this is so long!! This is my first post and I don’t really know what I’m doing)
