RANK: 7/390 in a pretty good school that sends 70% or 80% of grads to some college

GPA: 3.68? That’s what my counselor says but I have a feeling we don’t use the same system. I have a 93 average with all honors classes and 2 APs. Our valedictorian who hasn’t seen a B in her life got a 3.8 so I don’t know how our scale works. I’ll have taken 7 APs by graduation. Got 5s on US History and Bio.

SAT: 800M, 680R, 710W… retaking in November because I think I have a lot to gain on writing

SAT II: 800 US History, 780 World History, 770 Math I, 760 Math II
