College Readiness

I am going to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.  Here are some facts about Northwestern:

Acceptance Rate: 10.7%

Median ACT: 33

​

Here are some of the things I did to get into college:

1. Community Service - I have over 200 hours of community service at the Boys and Girls Club of Darlington County as well as my own French class I taught to preschoolers in Hartsville, South Carolina

2. I got a 1560 on the SAT.  800 on the Reading section and 760 on the math section.

3. I got good grades.  My GPA is a 3.93.

​

I learned some good tips from Amy Loy, a Freshman at the University of Tennessee, and Samantha McCall, a Freshman at Winthrop University.  From Amy I learned:

1. Keep good time management.

2. Stay away from easy fixes like stimulant drugs and cheating

3. Get involved

​

From Samantha McCall I learned:

1. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone

2. Don't be afraid to talk to your professors

3. If you find yourself with too much free time, get involved!
