So I need to know if I have any chance of getting into an Ivy League School. I feel as if I have worked really hard, but I'm not sure it is enough. I am currently a junior at a public high school.
My resume:
-taken all honors courses
-taken AP European History (4 on the exam) A in the class
-currently taking APUSH, AP Calc BC and AP Language and Composition
-my GPA is a 4.1 weighted and a 3.95 unweighted
- I am in the top 10 of my class
-I have taken the ACT once without studying and got a 32, I am going to take it again and try to get a better score.
Extracurriculars:
- JV cheer captain
-varsity tennis all 3 years (placed 5th at State)
-Robotics team captain
-Student Council
-Girl Scouts
-DECA
-President of French and Math Club
-FCA
-Boys Tennis Manager
-NHS
-Key Club
-Friends of Rachel (a random acts of kindness club)
What makes me unique:
I am really passionate about involving Women in STEM. I have started a program in Colorado in which I teach girls about STEM and link their passions with a STEM career. I provide them with a mentor who helps guide them into a career that suits them best. I also started a middle school robotics team in which I coach a team of 13 about robotics. I have also arranged a STEM guest speaker seminar at my high school where I was able to get 10 highly successful STEM guest speakers, including an astronaut! I am really passionate about STEM!
Other:
-Nominated by my school to be the sole attendee at the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Camp
-Nominated by Buzz Aldrin to attend a science camp
-secured an internship with NASA
I hope I have done enough. Please let me know if there is anything else I could do that might help! I really want to attend Princeton, Duke, Cornell, or Harvard! My passion is STEM if that helps. Oh, also, I am a girl which may make a difference.
Thanks!
