ACCEPTED 2023 APPLICATION

I recently applied to Mines 3 weeks ago for Environmental Engineering and got accepted today! (Applied September 21st)

Mines was one of my reach schools and I couldn't believe I got in. My stats shown below are under the middle 50 range for GPA (3.8-4.0) and I also didn't submit SAT because I got a 1280 (My reading score was terrible). My high school is pretty competitive and offers Physics C and Calc 3 which I did not take. However, my weighted GPA is much higher than most people who even have a 4.00 Unweighted. One of the reasons why I think I got accepted is for my extracurriculars and supplemental questions.

UW GPA: 3.775/4.00 (Every semester I either got 1 or 2 Bs)

W GPA: 5.05/6.00 (My school does a 3-tier system: regular//accelerated//honors and AP) If I had to say what that was on a 5-point scale I would think it's a 4.22/5.00

I took 9 AP Classes and 2 College Level Classes (1 Freshman Year, 2 Sophomore Year, 3 Junior Year, 3+2 Senior Year)

Human Geo = 4

U.S. Gov = 5

Computer Science Principles = 4

Computer Science A = 4

Environmental Science = 4

U.S. History = 3 (Did not submit)

Calculus BC = in progress

Physics 1 = in progress

Biology = in progress

Reading Writing and Inquiry = Indiana University Dual Credit

Literary Interpretation = Indiana University Dual Credit
