<p>i just want a general overview of some seniors from the class of '09 as one of the admissions director told me this incoming class of college freshmen is very competitive in all criterias.</p>
<p>over the course of your h.s. years:
~how many aps taken?
~rank?
~SAT/ACT score?
~many leadership positions held? y/n
..........ECs? y/n
..........volunteer/service work? y/n
~desire to stay in-state or out of state?
~top pick for college?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Haha, CC isn't exactly an unbiased sample, but oh well, here it goes anyway:
~how many aps taken? 13
~rank? School doesn't rank but I'm in the top 5% easily; what does rank matter anyway if you're trying to create a generalization for '09 anyway? Rank remains constant...
~SAT/ACT score? SAT1:800CR800M710W;BioM800Math2800Lit720
~many leadership positions held? Nothing substantial unfortunately...
..........ECs? Various club participation lol, but no leadership so they're all useless by CC standards

~top pick for college? Don't really care much haha</p>
