Class Rank: UNRANKED, though around 50th percentile, just below (I know its bad, our school doesn’t give class ranks)
School = EXTREMELY Competetive… (a few years ago, was ranked #1 in nation for old sat median, which was 1460, also is best school in state)
I’m not bragging or anything, in fact i hate it…
my GPA numerically is around 88.3, but supposedly translates to a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. I’m hoping to get it raised to 89 (possible) or maybe a 90, also taking extremely hard classes senior year

PSAT: 215
SAT: 2280 (730 Critical Reading, 750 Math, 800 Writing)

Classes
English III AP (4)
French IV AP (2) <– I’m hiding this one
World history AP-(5)
Us History

Next yrs load:
Psychology AP

so far, only 2 SAT II: World History, = 720

planning on taking Math IIb and English

Also i hope this is a huge hook:

Worked on research paper last summer, paper is being published in journal called “The Prostate” with me as co-author

Working THIS summer with a Doctor at Rice University in Nanotechnology… Nobel Laureate caliber lab, hope to get reccomendation, and in the process of getting another paper

Ive been told i’m a really good writer, so i think i will do well on essays

Also, whats the difference in admissions statistics between ED I and II?
