<p>bump… what do you think of my chances</p>
<p>bump…anyone??? i’ll chance back, only fair</p>
<p>I’m still a junior, but I just wanted to get a general idea.
UC GPA = 5.57 (Dunno, I might be tripping. 11 APs total (with senior year), and 6 courses per year, so that’s 7 regular a-g courses, not sure if that’s how it’s counted on the calc - straight A’s - or at least plan to for senior year 
)
Unweighted GPA = 4.0
Weighted GPA = 4.57</p>

COURSELOAD AND GPA=======================================
Sophomore and Junior Year GPA:=======
UW GPA: 3.60
Weighted GPA (OOS, assuming pre-IB and honors courses, as they are not UC approved, receive no bonus): 4.17
Weighted GPA (assuming pre-IB/honors courses receive a +0.5 bonus): 4.35
Weighted GPA (assuming pre-IB/honors courses receive a +1.0 bonus): 4.53
Freshman through Junior GPA, listed in same order as specified above:
3.59
4.14
4.26
4.52
Courseload:::: Fresh 1 AP, 4 Honors/pre-IB, 2 electives////Soph 1 AP (could have taken AP psych, but took a second science honors course instead [Physics Hon and Chem pre-ib]), 1 elective, 5 preib-Honors////Junior All IB/AP courses (including 2 science courses, Bio and Chem) [3 AP, 4 IB]
Academic Trends: UW GPAs-- Fresh: 3.57, Soph: 3.50, Jun: 3.70</p>
<p>Other notable courses: Taking Calc AB junior year, will take “double-math” in senior year–Calc BC and Statistics, replacing my foreign language (AP Latin [I took IB Latin IV in junior year]; Taking double science as a sophmore (physics honors and chemistry pre-ib; second science replaced AP Psychology, potentially increasing or reducing courseload) and for junior/senior years (Chemistry IB and Biology IB–Both had A’s Junior year [B’s for pre-IB chemistry in sophomore year) (Replaced my elective course in Sophomore year and my “Sixth Subject” (E.g. Comp sci, Philosophy, Psych, etc…) in Junior and Senior Year
CLASS RANK========== 15%
As of sophomore year, 15%; likely to be significantly higher by beginning of senior year due to 3.7 UW GPA in Junior year, while most other grades are going down due to significantly increased workload (IB and AP courses). Also, pre-IB courses tended to hurt my class rank because of their increased difficulty in spite of their same weighting value as honors courses.

<p>I’m working on my essays right now, and I have a unique passion that I believe will stand out and truly show who I am as a person. I plan on getting a recommendation letter from my history teacher who knows me personally beyond my work as a student. My other letter will probably come from my AP English teacher, as I got the highest mark in her class. In addition, I believe the LOR from my guidance counselor and principal will be nothing short of stellar.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I do not have any significant honors/awards. I have A LOT of school awards, but no academic awards beyond school. I know this isn’t an excuse, but there are very few academic extracurricular opportunities in Canada in comparison to the States.</p>
<p>As an international applicant, the competition will be more rigorous, but I would like to know how you guys think I will fare.</p>
