im curently a senior and i didnt have the best junior year i had a lot going on in my life at the time emotionaly and mentaly. So i lterly dont have a gpa for my junior year beace i didnt pass to many claseses, however i scored a 1690 on the sat with my math being 560 and the same for critical reading. i also took the sat subject test and recieve 710 on the math 2, 690 on litterature, and 750 in biology m. I feel that it is rediculous that they lower the standards for test scores when a test only proves you kno that subject and it doesnt prove any work ethic, and with a gpa one year will cost you so much my gpa droped from a 3.0 to a 2.0 and now in my senior year i have a 3.4 and im taking 5 AP courses. I feel that HEOP makes some feel that if they work hard in average classes and do avg on the sat they have a good shot in a great school. Mean while i may get looked over for one year i messed up.
