HORRIBLE GPA (not exaggerating)

<p>I’m too lazy to explain what Kumon is, so if you are intersted, go here:
<a href=“http://www.kumon.com/about/default.asp?language=USA[/url]”>http://www.kumon.com/about/default.asp?language=USA&lt;/a&gt;. It’s basically like Kaplan/PR except it’s for all ages: preschoolers up to algebra 2-ish material… it was also founded by a Jappie <represent!></represent!></p>

I will have taken 7 AP classes by the end of senior year. Like others have recommended my doing, I am going to go full-out senior year and attempt a straight A/A+ across the board. Assuming I pull that off, I think I am in a fairly good/competitive position (I hope). However saying these things is 6.02 X 10^23 times easier said than done. Earning an A in an AP class is outright difficult, and will require SIGNIFICANT work on my part – especially considering senioritus and all.</p>

<p>I plan to major in biomedical sciences / pre-med area – this is why I’m intersted in NW, WUSTL, and Emory as my reaches. Will U. Wisconsin – Madison be a good safety, and U. Mich be a good match for me? Does anyone have any suggests on more safeties and matches?</p>

<p>I think, from what i’m reading, is that applying ED to any college with a not-so-stellar GPA, is worse than raising your GPA throughout Senior year and applying RD.</p>

<p>Not sure though, anyone have any inputs on this? I’m in pretty much the same position as you, interms of wondering to ED or not due to a messed up GPA.</p>

<p>*Kumon is basically this (EDIT: opps, not korean - japanese.) started company that began by teaching mathematics in courses. Basically, they have levels ranging from “A -> like Z”, A being as easy as 4th grade math or so, and Z being pretty difficulty. They’ve begun tutoring kids in English and other subjects. I’ve heard of a lot of asian students, as well as some american kids now’a days, going there beginning as young as 3rd grade. (Myself included, started further than I can remember)</p>
