Priority actions

ROI-ranked · what moves the needle now

Clearly document STEM rigor in the application (highest math completed, calculus/physics/chemistry coursework, AP or dual enrollment if available) to demonstrate readiness for engineering.

⭐ Wanted by 2 schools 🎯 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Spelman College ⚙ Low effort 🕒 Before Early Action submission

Scale the Clean Water Initiative through a partnership with a Chicago nonprofit, school network, or community organization to expand installations beyond the current three sites.

🎯 Northwestern University ⚙ High effort 🕒 3–6 months

Turn the Northwestern summer research into a concrete engineering artifact (prototype filtration system, microplastic capture design, or quantitative dataset with measurable performance results) and describe the engineering process in applications.

🎯 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor ⚙ Medium effort 🕒 During and immediately after the summer program

Collect and present quantitative water-quality results from the filtration installations (before/after contaminant levels, microplastic counts, or similar) and add this data to the application updates or essays.

🎯 Northwestern University ⚙ Medium effort 🕒 within 1–3 months

Document the engineering behind the Clean Water Initiative (design choices, filtration materials, before/after water quality measurements, and system performance data) and turn it into a short technical report or presentation

🎯 Spelman College ⚙ Medium effort 🕒 next 2–3 months

Overall GPA of 3.81 indicates strong academic performance in general terms.
Total SAT score of 1460 is considered a strong overall standardized test result.
Clear intended major (Environmental Engineering), which aligns with academically demanding STEM pathways if supported by coursework.
Solid core academic indicators: a 3.81 GPA and a 1460 SAT suggest strong general academic capability.

No transcript or course rigor information, making it impossible to judge preparation in advanced math and science required for Environmental Engineering.
SAT section breakdown is missing, so the committee cannot evaluate quantitative strength (especially the math score).
No context about the high school (grading scale, rigor, course availability), making the 3.81 GPA difficult to interpret relative to opportunity.
Academic rigor is unclear because the file lacks transcript details, course list, school profile, and class rank, making it impossible to judge how challenging the 3.81 GPA actually is.
