Explain it, please.

<p>I am from Puerto Rico, and like so, I’m no familiar with the SAT, nor everything else that american universities requires. I will like if somebody will introduce terms like unweight or weight GPA, or the standars for the SAT. I will really like to be in a good university, but I’m a “little” lost in what I am supposed to fulfilled to make it happen.</p>

<p>PD: Right now, I am in a boarding school, specialized in science and math. I am taking 9 classes, minimum, including:</p>

<ol>
<li> Spanish 10 </li>
<li> Spanish 12 (advance)</li>
<li> English 10</li>
<li> Algebra and Trigonometry</li>
<li> Geometry</li>
<li> Chemistry</li>
<li> Biology</li>
<li> Latin America</li>
<li> Puerto Rican History </li>
<li>Last semester, I took Introduction to Drawing.</li>
</ol>

<p>Plus, I am secretary of the Math Club, member of the National Honor Society, and from the Arts and Literature Association. I participate in the Math Olympics, and in short-movies from the TV department of my school. Next year, I am hoping to take:</p>

<ol>
<li> Pre-calculus</li>
<li> Analytic Geometry</li>
<li> Statistics</li>
<li> Physics</li>
<li> Scientific Investigation or Genetics</li>
<li> Anatomy</li>
<li> Volleyball</li>
<li> Softball</li>
<li> Responsible Paternity</li>
<li>Domestic Economics</li>
<li>English 12</li>
<li>Social Psychology</li>
<li>Introduction to Painting </li>
</ol>

<p>And taking: Spanish 11, English 11 and History of U. S. A. in summer.</p>

<p>If you’d like to know SAT standards, go to collegeboard.com and search for a college (<a href=“http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/index.jsp)%5B/url%5D”>http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/index.jsp)</a>. The college’s profile will show up and you can see their middle 50% SAT ranges for accepted applicants. Here’s the Univ. of Florida for example:</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 560 - 670
SAT Math: 580 - 690</p>

<p>So, 25% of people who were accepted to UF had critical reading scores below 560. 25% of people who were accepted to UF had critical reading scores above 670. Same logic applies for math.</p>

<p>Hope that helped a bit.</p>
