My unweighted gpa is a 3.7, my weighted gpa is a 4.29. My school doesn’t do class rank, they just let you know if you are in the top 10% (which I am), but from comparing my gpa to that of others it looks as though I’m in the 35-45 range out of about 575 kids in my grade. Also I go to a very competitive high school that is consistently ranked by US News Week as one of the top 50 in the country. Here has been my high school schedule:

Freshman:
English I PAP Honors - A+
World Geography PAP Honors - A
Algebra II PAP Honors - A
Biology I PAP Honors - A-
Theatre Arts Honors - A+
Spanish II PAP Honors - A-

Sophomore:
English II PAP Honors - A
World History AP Honors - A+
Pre-Calculus PAP Honors - A-
Chemistry I PAP Honors - B+
Spanish III PAP Honors - A
Computer Science AP Honors - A+

Junior:
English III AP Honors - A+
US History AP Honors - A-
Spanish IV AP Honors - B+
Calculus AB AP Honors - A+
Physics I AP Honors - B

Senior:
English IV AP Honors
Government/Econ AP Honors
Environmental Science AP Honors
European History AP Honors
Statistics AP Honors
Spanish V AP Honors

Not quite sure what I’m wanting to major in, but I’m thinking along the lines of business or engineering. Not sure what I can afford either. My parents have said they will cover 100% of the costs to go to a state school (tuition, room, board, spending money, etc), and if I want to go to a private university or out of state university then I need to come up with the difference through scholarships, loans, or jobs.

Location of a school doesn’t matter to me that much. I know I’m not an incredibly amazing student or anything, but I’d say I’m definitely above average and I’ve worked hard in high school so the biggest thing for me in a college is prestige and how respected it is. When I go to college I want to feel like I had to earn my way in, not that I could have slacked all of high school and still gotten into the same school. Essentially I want a college where I will feel like my high school work has paid off.
