Caucasian Male, Junior
Public School in greater Boston area
GPA: 4.71
Class Rank: 5/369
SAT I: 2190 (670 CR, 740 Math, 780 Writing) - Will be taking again in October, definitely expecting a 2250 at least, aiming for 2300+. This score was done with nearly no prep or studying, and my 670 CR was well below what I was regularly getting on practice tests. 2300+ for a second time is definitely within reach.
SAT II:
Math II: 770
USH: 780
Physics: 750
APs:
USH - Definitely expecting a 5, very strong teacher and history has always been my strong point
Lang - Will probably be getting a 4 or 5
