So I have a 3.44 unweighted gpa (IB). I go to the top highschool in my state. I have a weighted gpa of 3.77. I have 1D, 4 C's, and a mix of As and Bs. How do my grades look to you. I'll take any raw feedback possible.

lol my early action is due tmrw and i left everything to the last minute cuz i truly was just in writers block, if anyone even sees this and gives me some sort of feedback that would be great lol. Basically rn im not sure if i should keep on writing this but, my essay is about the time where i was in this stage at a modelling competition in a local mall at Jakarta my home city.i talked about my nerves, how the audience was loud, cheery, and for an introvert, this felt like the Superbowl. i also talked about how the building up of how i didnt feel like i could win amongst all these other talented girls. but i talked about at the crowd there was my parents watching me with a smile, my dad mouthing the words “thats our girl” and then after my short anecdote I jumped to talking about growing up in Jakarta i struggled with my self identity of being a mix kid (i know vey cliché) but long story short i wanted to highlight how growing up, my self worth was so small and i didnt have much friends but that small moment where i won the competition made me feel at total shock, i couldnt believe my ears when they called out my name. By then my confidence grown and moving to a new school opened so many doors for me, i was able to grow, my first language was english so a lot of kids used to make fun of me but growing older i was able to speak indonesian better, and talk to more ppl and make genuine relationships. Take up leadership roles and becoming the head of arts for student council, and other cool stuff i never thought i could do before, all this happened because i truly finally believed in myself, and that whole stage moment only gave me this little push to strive to find myself and become mature as a person.. then i think i might end with after that day of winning i come home with my whole family enjoying my favorite soup noodles ever from my home town’s chinese restaurant l go a lot since i was a kid (lol maybe not add that it doesnt relate to everything im saying) but hopefully this makes sense, theres some parts i left out which is in the essay but kinda hard to put it all in this comment. If its not good enough or doesnt rlly relate to prompt one on identity, background, or talent ig im screwed lmao pls be dead honest, i know so much of these parts are cringe, i rlly dont wanna sound like a snob cuz thats just not who i am

Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father. To be a "Harvard man" is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain. April 23, 1935 John F. Kennedy

I have my essay finished and I wrote about a specific trip I had to france, and how I prepared for the trip by learning about the language and culture and I wrote about all the issues I was faced with in between and how I overcame them. I wrote about a Parisian man that gave me insight on what it takes to be successful and stuff along those lines. I guess it may not be original but I'm not really applying to very competitive schools so I think my essay is pretty good for the schools I'm looking at.

Wow. I love torturing myself after submitting my application and wondering if I'll even get accepted. I just have a question, what if the essay prompt asked to talk about a personal experience and not about accomplishments or explaining why you would be a great student?

Since you are not strong on the academic side, you could get in if you demonstrate really strong characteristics in other categories, for example, being a really good athlete and having national recognition, or participating in impactful research, etc, and having a really good overall application, with stellar recommendation letters and compelling essays. Otherwise, it would be unlikely for a student with a 33 act and 3.5 uw gpa to get in, because that is really below their average student academics. If you still have time (I know this response is kinda late), I would recommend you to, if possible, improve your gpa and test scores (a 35 act would be really good). A strong academic profile for top-tier schools would be something like 4+ weighted gpa, 34-36 act, 750+ sat subject tests, and maybe some medals in competitions. (btw that is not a gpa, im assuming you got a 3.52 )

But the biggest part is using your journey as a transgender person and your unique experience to show how it has shaped you and made a better, stronger person. Don’t just say “I’m trans,” say “BECAUSE I’m trans, I’ve learned to be strong/accepting/resilient” But it’s a really good essay with a lot of potential to show emotion and growth.

I totally understand the importance of focusing on what you learned from the experience rather than the hardship itself, but the way you phrased it came across that only life-threatening illnesses are life defining, which is definitely not the case. Your tone just minimized the consequences of non life threatening illnesses which actually alter lives. I hope you don’t continue to perpetuate the idea that chronic illnesses, especially pain, are not valid. Just some food for thought! :)
