Hi! I'm a rising senior from Washington state! I just wanted to ask for y'all's opinion/advice and see if there's anything I can do this summer/fall to add to my application!
Demographics: Female, White, Autistic/ADHD (plan on talking about that in personal statement), Upper Middle-Class
SAT/ACT: 1480 SAT (770 R&W and 710 Math)
This is my second time taking it and I sadly don't have the time to take it again, so I have to stick with this. I'm thinking of maybe applying test-optional to UChicago though
GPA: 3.99 UW/4.56 W
Coursework: 4 APs, 7 Honors, and 14 Dual Enrollment
For senior year, I'm taking pretty much all STEM classes (with the exception of AP French) and all AP or dual enrollment classes
Intended Major: Astrophysics/Astronomy and a Minor in French
College List: UChicago (this is my absolute dream school), UT Austin, Georgia Tech, University of Washington, Boston University, SDSU, UMich, UC Santa Cruz, Harvard (?), CalTech (?)
Extra-curriculars:
1. Co-President of Astronomy Club (Sophomore - Senior)
2. NASA SEES Intern (Summer of Junior Year)
3. Owner of Small Crochet Business (Freshman - Senior)
4. Secretary/Treasurer of French Honors Society (Junior - Senior)
5. Student Member of Facility Advisory Committee for my school district (Junior - Senior)
6. Girls Who Code Self-Paced Program (Summer of Junior Year)
7. Volunteer for my local library helping young kids with reading and english skills (Junior - Senior)
8. Member of Physics Honor Society (Junior - Senior)
9. Member of Key Club (Sophomore - Senior)
Awards:
1. 200+ Hour Community Service Award from my high school
2. NHS Member for all 4 years
3. Quarterly Honor Roll from my local university that I attend for dual-enrollment
I know I don't have a lot of awards so I'm hoping that everything else will make up for that. My LOR's are from my calculus teacher and my French teacher, both of whom I am quite close with. What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions for things I can squeeze in this summer or this fall?
To keep this community safe and supportive:
This looks so great, do your best and be good to go. Good luck!
