<p>Hey everyone hope you’re having a fantastic day. Let’s get started. I’m sure you already know my question.</p>
<p>So before I begin a quick background about myself:
I am a senior and I used to be a very unmotivated student. I simply didn’t understand how important knowledge is how far it can take someone. However I was given a reality check and I have improved as a student(I’d like to believe so). Also - I am an instate student!</p>
<p>Anyways(time for the good stuff)</p>
<p>GPA(weighted): Around a 3.4.
My freshman year I had a 3.2, My sophomore year I got a 3.5 - I finished with an A+ in Biology(CP) and my GPA for junior year hasn’t been finalized but I believe I only got a 3.4ish
however I doubled up on science that year and it was difficult for me(Chemistry and Anatomy). However all my classes have been on uprise all the way to senior year, you will notice when you scroll down :)</p>
<p>SAT - 1530 I know this is extremely horrible, however I plan on to increase it 100-200+ this October!
ACT - 21, 10/12 on the essay(again Its horrible i know)</p>
