I’m a junior in highschool. I live in NJ, have a GPA of 3.45 (Unweighted) and 3.64 (Weighted). I haven’t taken the SATs yet, and am waiting on my PSAT scores. I was in honors history the past two years, am in AP now, and am planning on taking 3 AP history courses as a senior next year, and maybe honors English. (I obviously want to major in some form of history or politics, which is why im so interested in American). I slacked off last year, but my grades are already rising, and will continue to do so this/next year. I’m going to be the President of the Amnesty International club for my second year next year, and I founded and am VP of the vegetarian club. I might also create a political club this year, and will be the president of that. (So, as you can see, im pretty passionate about politics in my ECs)

So, am I on track for American as a Junior? Are there any other colleges I should look at? I know its pretty hard to get into, so I’m pretty worried about my lack of APs. Does American want a student who is passionate about something (me and history/politics) or an all around honors student (NHS material)?
