My Info :)
Objective: SAT I (breakdown): I took the new SAT btw Overall:1460 Math: 710 Reading:750 Writing: 6-6-8. (I think I'm going to retake it though.) I did really well on my PSAT too
ACT (breakdown): I took the act twice. both times I got a 32 composite.
But if superscoring: M:34 S:34 E:34 R: 32 W: 32 (I know they don't superscore but I hope to retake it this Oct.)
SAT II: Haven't taken any yet. Planning to in October.
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.89
Weighted GPA: 4.137
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable):16/401. My rank has to do with the fact that a lot of the honors/ ap class people take study halls and the minimum amounts of classes, while i take 3 after school classes that bring down my unweighted GPA even though i get A's lol. but i could definitely do better in this field i guess.
AP (place score in parenthesis): Most of my ap classes are to be taken my senior year and AP scores aren't in for this year unfortunately. AP Chem (didnt take) AP Lang (?? I think I did pretty well though) AP Euro (4).
IB (place score in parenthesis): N/A
Senior Year Course Load: Jazz Ensemble, Marching Band, Chamber Choir, Steel Band, AP Calc, AP Lit, AP Human Geo, a Computer Elective, Honor's French 4 (The hardest that my school offers, I will be taking the ap test though), P.E., Dual Credit Government, AP Bio. (3 of the music classes are after school btw)
Extracurriculars:
Freshman- Madrigal Singers, GSA, Spring Musical, some irrelevant leisure clubs as well.
Sophomore- Marching Band, Madrigal Singers, Pit Orchestra.
Junior Year- Marching Band, Madrigal Singers, Pit Orchestra, A Capella, Steel Band. (I was sadly rejected from NHS the judgement was a bit biased imo. at least I was honest on my application. meh
Senior Year- Hopefully NHS, Key club, Marching Band, Madrigal Singers, Pit Orchestra, Steel Band. (Obviously I haven't necessarily confirmed this but it's basically guaranteed.
I'd like to mention at this point that I'm a piano player and that I'll be going into my 11th year this fall. It takes up a large portion of my free time.
Volunteer Service: I do a lot of performing within the community. (Hospital and Retirement Home stuff.) I offer to accompany most of the music kids for free but I'm often paid. I have however done things unpaid as well. looking to volunteer more though.
Job Experience: Accompaniment. Took up a huge chunk of may of my junior year. Nothing official. I'm trying to get a summer job to accompany the summer dual credit course I'm taking.
Accomplishments: A lot of piano performance awards that I have to sift through. this year, I did win a scholarship competition at NIU though. I was 1st chair alto two at honors all state chorus this year. Scored first at a French Forensics competition. 2 year bronze medalist for the Grand Concours
Demographic Stuff:
State: Illinois
School Type: Public
Ethnicity: Biracial. Asian/White (I dont think im a URM tho)
Gender: F
Income Bracket:<35,000
Major: I'm kind of still in the deciding phase. I'd like to be involved in music obviously, but I think I'd like to major in something more academic. I'm trying to decide between international relations/ polysci/ foreign language (east asian)/ linguistics, OR Applied Mathematics lol. Also, I'd like to be involved in environmental science somewhat but that's not a priority for me.
I also have a chronic illness so I think I have a pretty strong essay topic for my app.
So my main problem is that I'm really focused on music as a high school student, yet i'm not planning on pursuing music in college as a major. Besides that, I think my statistics are on the lower side of what they accept. Do you guys think I could get lucky?
