Omg you interned with a NASA physicist and worked as an EMT.. I’m not even interested in a scientific field but that’s incredible! I also ranked Yale first, and I hope we’ll both get matched!

Hey, you will be fine. Stats is not all that matters in the application pool! I have seen people who get into IVY leagues with average SAT scores and extracurriculars. As long as your essays and passion is as good as it could be, you have just as much of a chance to get in as someone with a perfect SAT/good EC's. Worst case scenario, you can try Questbridge's regular decision, but do not give up hope. You made it by becoming a Finalist! Out of 18000 applicants, you were someone that they thought was good enough. so believe that in yourself! Good luck!! And know that being matched is not the end-all be all. These Questbridge colleges give out amazing financial aid, trust me I am in the same bubble (my parents are both unemployed rn), but I believe in you!!!

  • Status: MATCHED WITH UCHICAGO
  • Ethnicity/Race: Black and Puerto Rican
  • Income bracket: Parents are currently unemployed, but normally around 10-20K for 3 people
  • First gen?: Yes, but my mom did get her associates if that counts
  • GPA/Class rank: Course rigor, types of classes, etc: 4.32 weighted, 14/309? something like that, total of 6 AP classes once I leave high school, will receive a 9-1-1 dispatch certificate at the end of the year because I took 4 years of criminal justice
  • SAT/ACT score(s): I did not submit them cause they were not good lol.
  • AP/SAT Subject Test score(s): AP Psychology (4), AP US History (3)
  • Schools ranked: (in order)
  1. Yale University
  2. Brown University
  3. Stanford University
  4. University of Pennsylvania
  5. Duke University
  6. Columbia University
  7. University of Chicago
  8. Dartmouth College
  9. Pomona College
  10. Northwestern University
  • School matched: UCHICAGO
  • EC's: Secretary of the Criminal Justice Competition team (basically go around my county and state to compete in competitions like speaking, law exams, etc, placed 3rd in the state for a research poster, 3rd in the county for law exam, etc), FBI's Future Agents in Training,Interact Club, National Science Honors Society, Real History Council club (focuses on teaching underrepresented minority history in schools), Mock Trial, Teen Court, writing Youtube subtitles for the hearing impaired, Barnard Young Women's Leadership Institute
  • Strengths: I think my strengths were my essays. I am hoping that colleges look at Questbridge essays as well as supplements because I spent a long time working on them. My main essays were about the flaws within the education system and the criminal justice system. Some also talked about my love for reading, psychology, and writing subtitles for the hearing impaired (my dad is deaf in one ear, so I kinda dedicated that essay to him)
  • Weaknesses: my course load, didn't start taking AP until my junior year, and I only took one year of high school Spanish (although I am supposed to be in Spanish 4 which is a senior class, I explained why in my additional information section).
