Hi, I'm a senior looking for any suggestions for any T20 schools I have a good chance of getting into. I have target schools and a bunch of safeties I thought were targets (I underestimated myself a lot). I am willing to go anywhere. My stats:
- 4.0 UW - 4.3 W
- Bunch of extracurriculars as a member
- Two jobs I've maintained for more than two years (waitress & babysitter)
- 70+ volunteer hours
- 2 officer positions (SNHS, FCCLA)
- In the middle of founding a baking club!
- Test optional
- 11 APs, 5 Honors
- Rank 3 out of 422 of my class (10% in decile bc my school doesn't do specific rank)
- Have tutored overseas Chinese students for a summer in core subjects through Zoom
- Summa Cum Laude on my transcript
- Asian, first-gen
- Intended major is pharmacy/pharmaceutical sciences (if unavailable, major in biochem or bio)
To give examples, my target schools are William & Mary, UGeorgia, UC Davis, UC San Diego, and my hard targets are UVA, Boston University (30-ish percent), and UCLA (mid 20s). Safeties (above 80%) are VA Tech, UMaryland, Purdue, UPitt, Rutgers, and JMU.
Thanks! :)
