<p>I actually just signed up for it. I’m kind of scared because I got a 660 on the practice SAT 2 exam. Hopefully I can work up to an 800 by June. </p>
<p>Also, my math teacher basically told me I was going to community college lol. 3.85 uw, 190 PSAT, going to community college. My counselor actually thinks I’m gonna end up at Eastern ________ State University. She told me that George Mason might be an option for me. It really makes me sad, but extremely motivated to work harder.</p>
<p>I signed up for the world SAT, too, even though that’s my worst subject…</p>
<p>I heard that the SAT 2 World History test was more specific, so that’s why I’m kind of unsure.</p>
<p>What are you guys’ GPA’s? UW? I want to see where I stack up with the rest of the Class of 2016! :)</p>
<p>@texanhowler
4.0 UW</p>
<p>My numerical average is a 99.9. </p>
<p>@Apollo11
Why UConn?</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt </p>
<p>They might be the only people to accept me.</p>
<p>I’m obviously working hard, but my GPA is like 3.9 UW, and 4.7 W [Technically a 5.3] and definitely going to drop to ~3.85, my SAT scores are currently ~2100, I got rejected from TASS as a finalist and my ECs , while interesting, aren’t that amazing.</p>
<p>I’d really like to do some research, since my sister just won some pretty big IEEE awards for her paper on engineering, and though she’s in high school, it seemed pretty easy to do. Also, I’d like to pursue some more abstract UConn and AP courses, without getting a lower GPA and <3 AP Scores, especially since I feel like I’m going to bomb AP Physics B. I’d also like to do some work on ridding Mozambique of landmines, but considering that I’ve done essentially nothing for about 3 years, I doubt that will count for anything.</p>
<p>@texanhowler I think I’m around a 4.2 weighted, but I don’t know my unweighted.</p>
<p>3.85 uw this year, 3.8 uw including freshman/middle school. I get A’s in everything except math. I always get a B every year, no more no less. Hopefully I can break that streak in Precalc/ap stat next year</p>
<p>4.0 unweighted 4.44 weighted. I’m probably going to drop to a 3.9 and 4.3 weighted after this semester.</p>
<p>@afroninja26 Same here! I normally always get a B in math, except last year when I got an A. So as of now, I have a 4.0 uw, but I’ll probably get a B in math this year and I guess that’ll make it a 3.9.</p>
<p>3.93 ish unweighted. I’m in all honors/AP but I don’t know what it is weighted. Got all of my b’s are from 7th and 8th grade math, algebra 1 honors and geometry honors, when I didn’t try. Great. </p>
<p>Guys, my school is screwing me over hard. Because I’m one year ahead of everyone else in honors in math, I can’t take AP US and AP English next year, because they conflict with AP calculus. It just sucks. Especially since our school is “so good (My friends and I will be the first merit scholars in years) at academics”, you’d think we’d have more than one period of AP. But we don’t. So I’m punished.</p>
<p>What I said in parentheses, that was meant to show that my school is actually not good in academics</p>
<p>Sometimes I can’t tell if the people on this site are fishing for compliments or are really self loathing…it’s probably both</p>
<p>This is the first semester I’ll get a B in math :(. My teacher literally prides herself on having the lowest average because it makes her the hardest teacher.</p>
<p>@TheAtlantic
I’ll just come out and say that the point of my CC account is to fish for compliments ;)</p>
<p>However, I have an extreme amount of self-loathing, so even if I was fishing for compliments, that’s only because it helps quell the extreme hatred I have towards myself</p>
<p>@batman9
Just take Calc BC’s equivalent at a local CC and do AP English in high school…</p>
<p>I assumed, but I didn’t want to be rude ;)</p>
<p>@Apollo See that’s the thing. I can’t. The administration is being very uncooperative. They wouldn’t give me credit. However my dad had a meeting with them today and apparently if my math teacher is cool with it I can self-study. Which should go okay I guess. Still not ideal but I guess ■■■■ happens.</p>
<p>@TheAtlantic fishing obviously </p>
<p>Are the UC’s considered “good”? </p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt Berkeley is usually said to be the best public university in America. UCLA follows closely. Most of the UCs do pretty good on research. I would say they are considered good. IMO UCB and UCLA is comparable to Northwestern and Vanderbilt. Perhaps slightly under.</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt I mean 7 of them are top 50 schools. Most people here don’t think much of UCI and UCSB but they’re actually pretty good. </p>
