<p>My daughter has a 4.0 unweighted GPA (currently 5.08 weighted) in a ranked IB program. She has a 1520/2320 SAT score and is a NMSF until Feb when she will hopefully be a NMF. She is a strong student because of both innate ability and excellent organizational and time-management skills. The nice thing about her is that she is involved in school activities and volunteer work she truly enjoys and she keeps a very busy schedule. She isn’t the type of student who has published a research paper or who has cured cancer. Just a well-rounded girl who is academically interested in the sciences, but who also has a love of the arts. I think she really is both right and left brained.</p>
