Hey CC- Chances etc. would be greatly appreciated!
Numbers:
My school doesn’t do it on a 4.0 scale, nor does it account for honors/AP- though after 3 years on the advanced track (most difficult courses) with 9 honors, 4 AP (APES, WHAP, APUSH, Chem) and 3 mandatory regular classes so far, the raw number would be about a 95. I’m about #5 in my class of 235.
-Next year, taking 6 APs. (Calc BC, Physics, Lit, Euro, Gov, Bio.) (10 total)
Scores:
-34 ACT, 8 on essay.
-800 Chem SAT II
-750 US SAT II
-5 on all APs, 4 on Chem.
-Planning to take a couple more subject tests in the fall, possibly retake the ACT.
Awards:
-Honors with Distinction since Freshman Year
-Highest averages in my grade for APUSH and WHAP

Flew with a few friends, worked with Australians on solutions to major global issues like climate change, and had our group proposals sent to the Australian Parliament. Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, recorded a speech for us for the conference opening.
