<p>obsessed with both NYU and Oberlin, if anyone would like to comment on my chances at either school, that would be phenomenal (also like Washington U. in St. Louis, Wesleyan, Vassar, Tulane, Skidmore…any thoughts?)</p>
<p>junior at 2nd best public high school in my state
GPA (weighted): 4.2 (significant upward trend throughout highschool…3.98 frosh year, 3.98 soph year, 4.65 so far for junior year)…however 4.2 is out of 5.0 scale (ifhonors are taken) therefore a 4.2 = approx. a B+ average on an honors scale
SAT I’s: have yet to take the march exams, expecting 700’s-720’s in writing and verbal, 650-700 in math
SAT II’s: Literature (700) - plan to retake, Math (expecting a 650-700), Biology (expecting a 700-760)
honor roll every term of every year
Ap’s - junior year: Bio, so far have an A- in the course
