Stats + EC's that got me into every college I applied to

Transcript

I currently go to Duke and got into every college I applied to, so here are my stats and extra curriculars. First, my stats. I had a 36 ACT. I did not take the SAT. I had a 4.67 weighted, a 4.0 unweighted, salutatorian. And I did not submit AP scores because I got a lot of threes. My high school experience was pretty unconventional because I went to school during the day and then I also went to an entrepreneurship center throughout the school day, so that was super cool as well. So I was an ambassador for the entrepreneurship center and I was also a mentor. Also, I took 10 APs and I also did dual enrollment and I graduated with the Tennessee Volunteerism diploma. I think what really made me stand out was my extracurriculars. So first, I started my own business when I was 8 years old. I scaled it to six-figure revenue. I did a lot of volunteering through that business as well. And also through my business, I had a feature on the Hallmark channel, so they wore my hats in their holiday movies, which was kind of cool too. My second extracurricular, I've been a competitive Irish dancer since I was 5 years old. So my team got fifth place at the World Championships of Irish dance. My third extracurricular, I played the fiddle on the streets of Nashville for tips during the summer days. And in youth in government, I did student council. I was the president of the social justice club. I did Deca. I went to ICDC every year and for my awards, I was an AP scholar with distinction. I won a lot of awards for my business, like business competition and investment pitches and I had a lot of awards for my Irish dance. Hopefully this helps!
