I live in Connecticut so I think that might help me a little as far as applying to schools in Texas?
I am half white and half black, my unweighted GPA is probably around a 3.65 to 3.7.
I am in the top 10% of my class of around 460 students, I’m close to the top 5%.
I am a female and want to do engineering, I have taken all Honors & AP classes throughout HS.
Last year I took AP US History and got a 4 on the exam. This year I am taking AP Calc BC, AP Bio, and AP Spanish. I have a lot of leadership and community service activities, such as National Honor Society, Spanish NHS, Unified Friends Club, Human Relations Club (officer), Debate Team, volunteer at New Haven Reads (literacy tutor) and other places. I also am a gymnast, track runner and soccer player. I got a 2070 on the SAT (780 writing, 640 cr, 650 math) and 720 on the Spanish SATII, 700 on US History, 580 on Math I, 660 on Math II, and like 480 on Physics. (really bad, I know) I think my essays were pretty good and my teacher recs should have been pretty good. I also did a summer math and engineering program at Carnegie Mellon for 6wks that was pretty rigorous.
I was deferred from Yale and haven’t heard from any other schools yet.
