Chance At Emory

<p>My unweighted GPA is a a 3.85</p>

<p>My class rank is 9/118 (top 8%).</p>

<p>The school I go too is a part of the New Tech foundation. They emphasize a new type of approach where students are familiarized with an authentic work environment. Our work centers heavily around presentations, professionalism, becoming acquainted with the uses of technology in today’s world, and of course normal high school content. I took one ap class freshmen year and the rest honors. I took all honors classes sophmore year and now 3 aps and the rest honors junior year. When I graduate, I will also have 40+ hours of experience shadowing people in their jobs. This program was implemented to give us a visual view of the real world.</p>

<p>My SAT breaks down like this.
Superscore- 2250
Composite- 1560/1600
CR- 790
M- 770
CW- 690</p>

<p>For my extracurriculars, my big one is FIRST. It’s nationally sponsored robotics competition and I’m on the varsity team for it at my school.</p>

<p>By the time I graduate, I will also have 40+ credited hours to job shadowing professionals in their work environments. This is part of my schools program.</p>
