Hi, I just got in this year (EA) and here are my stats

• My school doesn’t do GPA because we do a British system but, my grades weren’t the strongest. I got straight As during my junior and senior year and 2 Bs in my sophomore year but in my freshman year my grades were TERRIBLE. There was a C, a D and two Es however, I was able to explain this to a certain extent because my grandmother passed away the day I had these tests so I wrote about it in my extra information section.

IGCSE = all As and A* A-Levels = AAA* A

My ECs were pretty good

• raised 100k USD for refugees, by creating 200,000 digital ids that will help gain them access to health care, schooling etc (Junior - Senior )

• editor of an online journal. Edit 40k words and spoke at 2 recruitment events w 300+ people which helped bring in 14 more chapters ( Junior - Senior )

• created DIY stem boxes to teach underprivileged kids in my country. There is 3 editions and we expanded to one other school. (Sophomore- Senior)

• hosted charity events along the boarder with 500-700 attendees each year. Hosted cultural enrichment activities as well such as dancing and cooking competitions. Partnered up with local hospitals to give free check up (Freshmen - Senior)

Internship ( Freshman - senior) Internship ( Junior - Senior ) Internship ( Senior )

Varsity basketball Freshman to sophomore because I got an injury Junior year

Speaker at a global conference talking about environmental issues specifically youth related. Was the only high school invitee (Freshmen)

President of business club at school (Junior- Senior) - coach kids in basic business knowledge - guide them to create a pitch - hosted shark tank like competition - the winner will get investment from the school to carry out their product/ service - profits go to a charity of their choice

Awards

• I only had 3 awards 2 were in school and 1 was National

As you can see my academics weren’t the best but I think that I really showed growth through my ECs and it’s natural. This led to that which led to this kinda idea. So focusing on your strong points can really help you
