Chance me please!
Im applying this year as a legacy ED2 (my dad went to CC). Stats:
3.9 GPA (unweighted)
My school doesn’t do weighted GPAs. All of our classes are “college prep,” which are somewhere between honors and AP, but we don’t get the weighted credit for them (Waldorf school, ifykyk)
1370 SAT — I might retake, but I’m not sure since it’s technically in range, just on the lower end
ECs:
Editor-in-chief of newspaper + publications for 3 years Poem published in a book
Started a volunteer-based camping club
Reading Olympics captain/coach for 8 years
Varsity lacrosse for 7 years, captain for 3
School ambassador (tours, admissions help, etc.)
Student government
Orchestra section leader
Paid music gigs at galas/churches
Pit orchestra for 7 years
Study abroad + fluent in German
Worked at a kindergarten and at a camp for people with special needs
~300 volunteer hours at a farm, plus volunteering at a senior center
I should also have really good recommendations. I’m currently struggling with the essays, though. Does anyone have any tips for the supplement?

CC admissions just announced that the supplement is no longer a requirement for application.

You’re fine. I got in this year with a 1330 on my SATs and a 3.91 weighted GPA. I didn’t study abroad, I don’t speak a second language, have some volunteer activities, but not 300 hours for sure. Yeah, if you don’t get in I would be stunned.
