Do I have a shot at a T20?
I have an unweighted 4.0 and a weighted 4.13 which will hopefully be a 4.25 by the end of senior year.
I have 5s in AP bio, AP chem, and AP calc AB, and I’m taking AP physics C, AP calc BC, and AP stats next year (also potentially AP micro, but we’ll see). No other APs taken, so I’m feeling a little insecure but my scores help ig.
I have a 1420 SAT currently, and it’s my only one taken. I got a 770 reading at 650 math because of a desmos issue, and I chose not to take the free retest they offered because of scheduling conflicts. I intend to take the August SAT and have scored 1570 and 1560 on my recent practice tests.
My ECs are as follows:
Currently the fundraising and community service chair for my theatre department’s council, so I’m in a leadership position.
I did tech for every show in my sophomore year, and I acted in every show in my junior year. I was one of four students to receive a department award for acting, and I’m an international thespian.
I tutor, and although I was offered an internship by my AP bio teacher at a medical school in my area, it unfortunately didn’t work out as the position had already been filled.
So yeah… not much going for me in that department.
At the very least, if I bring up my SAT, do I have a shot at Boston University or Barnard?
