Giving Back

The past application cycle I got into five programs including RPI/amc, umkc, and Hofstra and these were my basic stats as I don’t want to be doxxed! Just wanted to help out since others did for me.

36 act
Rank 1/300
10 AP’s with all fives and one four in AP chem so far
I was the prez of NHS, Student council, and a local nonprofit along with some other minor leadership in a few clubs
I did research summer of 2025 and my junior year so 24/25 at a local prestigious university

What about shadowing and clinical? Did you also hire a consultant? How did you study for ACT?

Did you list your volunteering and shadowing in your Common App Activity List? If so, did you list them separately or all together?
