[quote=Anonymous][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.

She could have attended Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or any Ivy with those impressive state and accomplishments (TASP and Scholastic Medal, and Choral Music helped my son into Harvard).  Congratulations to you.[/quote]
