<p>I’m currently a Junior that can’t decide if this class schedule is rigorous enough - if I should aim to raise my GPA in hopes of getting a spot in the top 8% - or if I should just focus on my ACT and SAT scores for now.</p>
<p>Context -
I am most likely not in the top 8% that would have automatic admissions to UT and I am currently attending one of the top 500 schools (out of 22,000) in the US according to US news and the NCES. (Unweighted GPA - 3.83)</p>
<p>Schedule - (At my school, Honors is equivalent with Pre-AP)
AP USH
AP Lang
AP Psych/PE
Honors Physics
Honors French III
Honors Alg II
Work Release (A free period essentially)</p>
<p>Question -
Should I aim for the top 8% or aim to increase my ACT and SAT above the 75 percentile (ACT [Composite] 31 and SAT 2060) Which of the option seems more sensible?</p>
<p>Does my schedule seem rigorous enough or should i include AP Bio? (Or should I focus on getting A’s and community service/leaderships?)</p>
<p>I appreciate your time and opinions!</p>
