Love how you were able to share the different aspects of your personality in the essay. Great advice! Can you talk about how you were able to stay organized and focus on your studies along with all your extracurriculars?
I was really frustrated because I didn't know how to structure out my personal essay and the supplemental essays. I came across this video and you don't know how much you have helped by sharing this video. And please do a daily vlog. I look forward to that.
Hey Giselle, My question is this: Is it okay that I don't have focused extracurriculars? I want to do computer science in Stanford, but my extra curriculars have a lot of non-stem related clubs and activities such as DECA, Model UN, and student council. The only Stem related stuff I have is: Starting a hackathon for my region (soon), a few basic python projects (snake, ping pong, and such) and the VP of my schools Robotics and Coding team/club. I am planning to publish a paper on something computer science related, but I noticed that even though your focus is computer science, your paper is focused on Neurology and such, is that good? is that okay? I would love to streamline more but I am already too involved as I will be becoming the president for Model UN and DECA next year as well as robotics and coding club. What do you recommend I do in my situation? I am also from Canada, and the region that I am in doesn't have any schools with AP courses. What do you recommend I do? Another thing is that I am averaging around 94% - 95% in grade 9 and 10 combined (I am a rising Grade 11), would you say that that is good enough to get into top colleges and universities? I will be doing the SAT sooner or later, hoping to get 1520+, so lets put the SAT aside, and just use my grades, because as far as my knowledge extends, anything above a 90 is an A and anything above a 97 or 96 is an A+ so if looked at from that perspective, I have a 4.0 GPA. So when I apply, (lets imagine I'm applying right now) would universities look at it as a 4.0 GPA or would they look at it as a 95% average? Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this! I hope you can get to answer my question! :)
