I think the fact that Princeton has been trying to increase their diversity and their pool of low income students definetly helped me get in. But I’m so thankful that I got into Princeton. I said I hope to continue this advocacy in the future by helping those in third world countries, like the one I come from.REJECTIONS:UPENN (applied through QuestBridge early action )YALE (applied through QuestBridge regular decision)GEORGETOWN ( regular decision)WAITLISTED:JOHNS HOPKINS ( regular decision)ACCEPTED:UMD COLLEGE PARK (early action)UMBC (early action)PRINCETON UNIVERSITY (applied through QuestBridge regular decision)OVERALL THOUGHTS:I was honestly really down after not getting into Georgetown and JHU. This advocacy carried on with me in high school where I was actively involved in student council. Immigrating here at a young age, I had to learn English quickly and I became an advocate for my parents as they did not know English. Here’s my stats and what schools I got into:STATS:SAT- 1470, 730 M, 740, R & WNo subject tests taken or submittedGPA - 3.88/4.0Rank- 2/26414 AP classes taken got a 5 on six of them, 4 on one of them, and a 3 on one I have not taken an exam for the rest of them yetEXTRACURRICULARS:SGA Vice PresidentVolunteer at local mosqueInvolved in FBLA, Environmental Club, and NHS, and held leadership positions in all in junior or senior yearRegional Student Council Board member for 3 yearsRegional Student Council Co- Committee Chair in senior yearState Student Council Workshop PresenterSUMMERS:I was visiting my home country in the summer of freshman & sophomore yearI held a summer job at our mall in the summer of junior yearHONORS:4x regional competitive event 1st place in FBLA1x state competitive event 1st place in FBLAESSAY:I talked about what advocacy meant for me.
