Pretty good public school. Ranked about 50th in CA & 500th in USA.

GPAs are unweighted:

9th:
3.4 / 3.6
1 Honors Course (Not UC Approved)

10th:
2.8 / 3.0
4 Honors Courses (Killer!) (Only 1 Honors is UC Approved Weighted)

11th:
3.67 / 3.25 (2nd Semester is Expected - Trying to bump it - 3 more weeks of school)
1 AP & 1 Honors (Eased it up a bit) (Both UC Approved Weighted)

12th:
Planned 2 APs + Leadership

SAT: (Just got today!) My Strength!
CR: 690
M: 710
W: 610

-2010

(Did way better than I expected & than on PSAT!)
I plan to take it 1 or 2 more times so hopefully will do a bit better. I beat all my friends who even took classes and got better GPAs than me so I was pretty happy!

Plan to take SAT Subject Tests but will probably just do decently on them.

Pretty Good ECs:
-Leadership (Commissioner)
-Sports
-Leadership in an Elective Class
-Couple Awards
-Traveled to 10 Countries
-70 Hours of Community Service (40 in Foreign Country Building a House)
-Fairly Active in Church
-2 Clubs
-Plan to do something this summer: Work / Community College Class / Leadership Camp, etc… (any suggestions?)

Courses:
-Only 3 Years of Math (Adv. Alg, Pre-Calc, & Stats) - No Math Sr. Year (AP Calc is super hard at our school, my friend got an F and we have no other math classes.)
-Only 2 Foreign Language (Teachers sucked & I got bad grades)
-4 Science (2 AP, 1 Honors)
-Lots of Electives
-Everything else is good.

Yeah, so I kind of screwed up during 10th grade. Chance me! I’m nervous with my low GPA!

Planned Major: Business

GPAs:
(None of them include sports, Weighted = All APs + Honors = Additional Point)

9-11 Un-Weighted:
-3.33
9-11 Weighted:
-3.65
10-11 Un-Weighted:
-3.2
10-11 Weighted:
-3.6
UC (& Cal States too?) (10-11 & only some are weighted):
-3.45

What GPA does Miami use? I’m only used to CA schools? haha

Chances would be greatly appreciated. I have no clue what my chances are. Thankss!! Anything especially that Miami likes that I could do to improve my chances this summer?

Thanks!!
