<p>How much weight does you school give for AP’s? I’ve never heard of being able to tack on an extra 1.0 on your GPA after only 3 AP’s? Maybe may school is odd, we only get .04 per AP.</p>

<p>We get 1.0 extra for a weighted class, I took the 3 APs tests last year, but 5 AP clases. I didn’t take the test in two of them because I had a bad teacher and I didn’t think I would be able to pass. I’m taking 5 this year and I have As in all of them. Therefore an A in a weighted class is 5.0 instead of 4.0.</p>

4

<p>Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, UChicago, Emory, Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>Written 2 screenplays means nothing unless you have sold it or something…</p>

<p>anyone can write a screenplay…</p>

6

<p>JC is a good safe school for you</p>

7

<p>Why are you retaking your SAT?</p>

8

<p>Seriously^^^^^^</p>

9

<p>You can’t be a real person…</p>

10

<p>I believe this is a ■■■■■.</p>

11

<p>seems like it</p>

12

<p>Why does it seem like I’m not a real person?</p>

13

<p>Because you have amazing stats and achievements, so amazing that it leads us to believe that it is unlikely for a real person to do all of this.</p>

<p>If all this is true, I congratulate you.</p>

14

<p>becoz I don’t know how you can achieve a 5 Weighted GPA… unless you have been taking AP since your freshman year…</p>

15

<p>If you want to be that precise to the thousandths place, my weighted GPA is actually, 4.952. You are correct, I took AP French IV my freshman year. I have also taken extra JC classes that are weighted, that’s why my GPA seems so high.</p>

16

<p>JC as in junior college?</p>

17

<p>Yes. There is a Junior College close to my school.</p>

18

<p>There’s no way you can be fluent in 6 languages; fluency is hard enough to achieve in two languages, even if one is spoken at home and one in school.</p>

19

<p>If all your information is true I think you can put Harvard as a safe school.</p>

<p>Sadly I think this is actually a real person-- I know where that “hippie circus camp” is.</p>
