How were your stats if you don't mind? Maybe PM me? I am curious about how I am looking now
It was probably my ECs/intangible stuff that got me in. My GPA is way below average. SAT is slightly above average.
SAT: 1340/1600 (670M,670R) only took once
GPA: 3.48 unweighted, 3.88 weighted, upward trend in Junior year, 6 APs, all honors classes when available, top 15% in my class like 40/330
ECs:
Lacrosse - 4 years, 3 year Varsity, 2 year Varsity captain, 3 year off-season conditioning captain
Coaching - 4 year youth lacrosse coach
Internship - 2 years at US Senate
Indoor track - 4 years Varsity
Online journalist - 3 years
Clubs - History Club founder & president
You read my essay so take that however. My recs were good, got one from AP Bio teacher and one from my boss' boss' boss at my US Senate internship (lol), he now works at Georgetown Uni. He's my dad's best friend and knows me personally. Also, I got a 5 in AP Bio so my teacher wrote a great rec.
I've heard it's also a lot harder to get in if you're out of state. You probably have a great chance regardless especially as an AZ resident who applied priority.
