<p>I</p>
<p>I’m a Canadian/Czech citizen living in the Czech Republic for the last fourteen years, attending an international school and taking the IB diploma program [I’m a junior]. Our school is really rigorous and there’s none of that grade fluffing stuff. </p>
<p>9thth Grade: GPA 3.6 [blah - does it matter that much since it was early in high school?]</p>
<p>10th Grade: GPA 3.8</p>
<p>11th Grade Semester 1 Marks:
- IB Higher Level 20th Century History A+
- IB Higher Level English A
- IB Higher Level Theatre Arts A+
- IB Math Studies II B+
- IB Biology A-
- IB German 4/5 B+
- GPA 3.8
- This is a grade in progress I’m looking for straight A’s by the end of the year which I think is attainable if I work my butt off.</p>

<p>I haven’t taken the SAT’s yet, but here are my PSAT scores:</p>
<p>Verbal: 78
Math: 54 [I know, absolutely terrible but I’m studying crazy hard to get up to a minimum of 650 and ideally a 700]
Writing: 61 [I’m not sure why this was so low but it should be able to get it up]
- I know my PSAT scores are pretty dismal but I’m spending a lot of time working on them onw [especially the math] and I’m taking the SAT in may. I’m aiming for at least a 2100.</p>
<p>Recommendations: should be excellent
Essay: I will make sure it’s nothing less than excellent</p>
<p>Schools I’m considering:
Brown [ED - my dream school]
Amherst
Bowdoin
Colby
Bates
McGill
Queens</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better to know…I got a 54 on my psat and a 650 on my SAT in math</p>
<p>Really?! Wow! Thanks so much - that actually does make me feel better. I heard that PSAT scores predict your SAT scores lower than they will actually be… at least that’s what I hope :D</p>
