<p>WOW!!! That is a great list for a rising sophomore. The class of 2015 just got our results today, and I’m happy to say that I got in!
Transcripts only show your final grade, so it doesn’t matter what you got for one quarter. Your classes look good, but it’s what you plan to take next year that is really emphasized. What is your class rank? I’m pretty sure your SAT is higher than your school’s average, so you’re fine. Sadly, that can’t be submitted, so you’ll have to take it again. Science Olympiad helps a great deal on the application, since almost all former SO national participants (me included) got accepted. It’s your math and science that they’re mostly concerned about. Also, do you have any leadership positions in any clubs? I can’t think of anything else, so message me if you have questions. Other than this, good luck!</p>
