<p>GPA in core subjects only is around a 3.6 something unweighted. Weighted is around 4.2? I’ve taken the most rigorous courses availablem but my school is super competitive with about 15 other kids with similar classes and better grades. Our school doesn’t rank though.</p>
<p>Tests
PSAT-222. In California, I’m pretty sure that’s enough to qualify for National Merit Semifinalist, since it’s usually at around 217.
SAT-2200 (750-CR, 740-W, 710-M) I’m planning to retake.
SAT II-Math 2C-800, World History-710, Literature-670
APs-World History-5, English Language-4, English Literature-4, US History-5, Physics-2, Calculus AB-5. Qualified for AP Scholar with Distinction.</p>
