Transcript

Ever since I posted my Stanford acceptance, I've been getting a ton of DMs asking about my stats, so I want to share them with you guys. So starting with my unweighted GPA, I had a 3.99, and my weighted GPA was a 5.3 out of six, which made me classing five out of 550. I also took 18 AP classes, seven of which were this year, and I also took 12 dual enrollment, which are basically college classes, and six of them were at the University of Florida. Also got a five on all of the exams I took except for AP World, I got a four. My SAT scores are a 1570. For my extracurriculars, I'm just gonna read off the screen. For my number one extracurricular, I put Tutored By Design, which is basically a peer tutoring platform run by me where I had 30 million impressions, 50,000 followers, and 100,000 site visitors from over 100 countries. Number two was my in-person tutoring business where I tutored over 150 students over the course of three years. Then number three was DECA, the competition director during 11th grade and then the president this year. I also qualified for ICDC twice and states four times. Number four was an internship doing user generated content, so it's basically just posting on social media. Then number five was the creator and admin of a Discord server where I help students with college admissions advice, and it had about 1.5 thousand users. Now, number six was actually just paid work. I worked at Chipotle and I also worked at a restaurant throughout all of my junior year, and it was about 20 hours a week, so it was a lot of work. And then number seven was the co-president of Science National Honor Society. I was the only three year member in that club. And then number eight was actually the co-president of Math Honors Society for my grade every single year of high school. I also started a competition aspect of that club. Then for my ninth and 10th extracurricular, I just put both of my varsity sports. I was on varsity weightlifting for two years and made it to regionals. I was also a varsity swimmer for two years. If you guys want a more detailed video of my application, let me know because I might post one on YouTube.
