More SCEA Chances!

<p>Those of you interested in chancing me I would really appreciate it if you did!</p>

<p>Academics
I went to a mid-sized suburban high school for my Freshman and Sophomore years, but during my Junior and Senior years, I will have taken all of my academic classes at the University of Minnesota through a dual enrollment program. I took all honors classes at my high school.</p>

<p>My high school’s GPA is only reported in weighted format and it’s out of 12. I think my high school GPA looks something like this:</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.9 UW
UMN GPA: 3.889 UW</p>

<p>I’ve been on the UMN Dean’s List both semesters thus far.</p>

<p>Class Rank: ~10/350</p>

<p>ACT: 32 (36 Eng, 28 Math, 33 Reading, 31 Sci)</p>

Counselor Rec: Very good.</p>

<p>Although, you’re all my competition for SCEA, I’m cool with that… because… good luck taking up other activities for your apps in 2 weeks. </p>

<p>There ya go… knock yourself out in self misery as you see some of these people get accepted, and uber ultra competitive people get rejected. Most get rejected. Probably take you hours to get through these properly… IDK… maybe there will be someone here obsessed enough to make a scatterchart or something. lol… </p>

<p>However, it will make you guys happy to know that the CC acceptance average is higher than the National average. </p>

<p>Yup… I have all the threads… for a variety of schools. That’s what you get when you have been on this site as long as I have… how many years has it been since I clicked join… sigh… </p>

<p>Oh… and you’re welcome.</p>
