chance chopped DEI-maxxing sophomore for T20s
Demographics:
Middle Eastern, Transgender, Disabled, Middle Class, Competitive arts boarding school
major: not quite sure, will most likely apply undeclared
(just about everything happened my sophomore year, I had a very very rough freshman year and can explain that in additional info to schools if needed.)
Academics:
3.96 GPA (Upward trend)
School only offers 2-3 APs junior and senior year; I will be taking the most academically rigorous courses available. Weird circumstances, but it's not an issue because we get a ton of kids going to ivy leagues.
PSAT not out for another week
Awards:
YoungArts winner; writing
