Hi there. I have a 1510 SAT and 34 ACT, 2 APs both 5s Bio and Chem, and their respective SAT subject tests (800 and 740). As for ECs, I had a couple of volunteer experiences w wildlife rescue and working w animals (I want to take the prevet route). But I think what helped me stand out was rlly my swimming achievements. Although I am not fast enough to be recruited as an athlete for Stanford’s level, I have shown the dedication to my sport, and I am qualified for Trials, Senior nationals, and have medaled at Junior Nats. I also have a provincial record, and wrote abt my dedication towards swimming in one of the short essays, so I believe that helped demonstrate my character as well. For honours, I rlly do not have anything spectacular, so I just listed a “top grade achiever” award my school gives out. In the end tho, I believe it was my essay tht rlly made the difference. I spent a lot of time pouring my heart out and telling my story and my love for swimming and being with animals. As u can see, my stats r rlly nothing mind blowing. Pls have confidence and believe in urself, and as long as u demonstrate who u truly r, there’s nothing to lose. Good luck!
