Im applying this year as a legacy ED2 (my dad went to CC). Stats:

3.9 GPA (unweighted)

My school doesn’t do weighted GPAs. All of our classes are “college prep,” which are somewhere between honors and AP, but we don’t get the weighted credit for them (Waldorf school, ifykyk)

1370 SAT — I might retake, but I’m not sure since it’s technically in range, just on the lower end

ECs:

Editor-in-chief of newspaper + publications for 3 years Poem published in a book

Started a volunteer-based camping club

Reading Olympics captain/coach for 8 years

Varsity lacrosse for 7 years, captain for 3

School ambassador (tours, admissions help, etc.)

Student government

Orchestra section leader

Paid music gigs at galas/churches

Pit orchestra for 7 years

Study abroad + fluent in German

Worked at a kindergarten and at a camp for people with special needs

~300 volunteer hours at a farm, plus volunteering at a senior center

I should also have really good recommendations. I’m currently struggling with the essays, though. Does anyone have any tips for the supplement?

Cc is my dream school and im applying this year. My dad also went to colledge, and i keep hearing mixed answers on wether it will positively impact my application or not.
