Competitiveness and College Recs
Hello! I am a HS junior looking to major in either history or political science. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for my college list? I have a 4.0 UW (my school doesn’t do weighted), first in my class, have been in art club for the past 3 years, Forensics performing poetry for the past 2 years (competing at state in two different organizations last year), and have been part of Young Democrats club the past two years. I am going to work full time at the United States embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh over the summer for around 5 weeks this summer. I have around 40 hours of community service, which I know isn’t the best, and am a middle/upper middle class 2nd gen immigrant. I’ve taken 5 APs and am planning to take 3 my senior year. Let me know if you guys want any more information! Also let me know if anyone has any suggestions on things I can do to improve my application! I know I’m not the most competitive and I’m trying to change that.
My current list so far:
UW Madison
Carleton College
Macalester College
University of Maryland
William & Mary
Lawrence University
