Jean Lattimore grew up in a very rural area in New Hampshire where he was one of only 45 people in his graduating class. He was in the top 5% of his class meaning he was one of the best students at his school with a very good GPA of 3.8 and cumulative SAT score of 1920. Even though a few other of the applicants had slightly better GPA’s and SAT scores Jean had something that made him stand out from those people. Jean was heavily involved in his community, his student government, as well as his high school’s basketball team. Jean was the president of student council for all four years of his high school career as well as being on the JV and Varsity basketball team throughout his whole high school career. He got the silver award for community service as well as the American Legion Post Award for Academic Achievement proving that he was not only a good student but cared about his community as well. He also interned at Senator John Sununu’s office for one summer and has now become very involved with politics. On top of all this his Guidance counselor and his history teacher’s recommendations had nothing but good things to say about him and they stated many times that he was one of the most influential and intelligent student that they had seen in their careers. The one minor downfall in his application is that his essay was about politics and was very opinion based which I did not like. Other than that his application was phenomenal and I believe that he should be offered a spot at our institution.
