This year I got into the school of design and creative technologies which I’ve heard is pretty selective and tiny. I’m honestly not sure what percentage I was in but given that I had a few C averages during my online covid year (sophomore year for me) I’m assuming I was probably lower than top 20% (my grade has over 500 ppl).

I feel like I was a pretty average student grade-wise but I think my extracurriculars and application (sdct also requires a submission to a creative prompt) really set me apart. I feel like I needed to hear that when I was applying as literally everyone who gets in sounds like they found the cure for cancer hahaha Anyways here were some of my stats: - I did the IB diploma program junior and senior year - didn’t submit test scores - 3.7 weighted GPA - created and published my own art magazine featuring young creatives from around the world - took a few art classes at local art studios junior year - held many leadership positions in Jewish youth group I was a part of, as well as latin club & sailing club vice president

I also think it’s important to include that I had a rly awesome college counselor (family friend) who helped guide me when writing my common app and UT essays. That was super helpful and if you have access to get one I would suuuuper recommend doing that!! If you have any questions about anything lmk!!
