[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds just like my DDin 11th. Congrats! Please let us know what she chooses from her many great options. If she's willing to share her stats/EC, that would be helpful. She should be very proud![/quote]

Thanks! I've been advising her throughout the college process but I haven't been to a lot of these schools myself, so I thought it'd be great to ask this board.

She got a 1520 on the New SAT and goes to a private school which doesn't rank, but does put a grade distribution, and she's on the highest end in terms of GPA. Her unweighted is a 3.96. She is an accomplished writer who has won Scholastic Keys and other writing competition prizes, is part of a regionally acclaimed a capella group, and did the TASP program last summer.  She has created a psychology club at her school and has worked to connect students to the vast world of careers, learning, and opportunities related to Psychology. She also did a learning experience at a local university with a cognitive science professor, which she didn't have exposure of before but really enjoyed. She's a national merit finalist and a national AP scholar. I think her essays were glowing. For her Williams supplement, she talked about having a conversation with Sigmund Freud about the scientific vs human approaches to psychology. For her Pomona supplement, she did the diving into a Wikipedia article topic about how she discovered her psychology interest by leaping from page to page, even though her school only offers AP Psych.
