<p>edit: sorry, that was not supposed to be my title. oh well.</p>
<p>Profile:
Rising senior at somewhat tough Ohio private school
Asian male (Filipino)
Single-parent family, income <40k (need good financial aid at schools)</p>
<p>Academics:
UW GPA (4.0 scale): ~3.97 (using just "main" courses--one B+, rest are A's)
W GPA (4.3 scale with +/-): 4.26 --> 4.42 & 4.32 junior year
Rank: N/A (At LEAST top 10%, probably top 5% or better, in a class of 300-400)
ACT: 34 (35E, 35M, 33R, 33S) -- superscore 35; waiting for essay score
SAT: 740CR 690M 790W -- 1430 & 2220
-----> Any thoughts on whether or not to submit just the ACT to schools? (Unfortunately some already have my SAT because of the 4 free sends from CollegeBoard.)
SAT II's: NONE
-4 APs by graduation: USH (5), Govt. (expecting a 5), Spanish, Eng. Language -- most at my school only have 2-3 going into senior year and students are generally restricted to no more than 3 APs/yr.
-MOSTLY honors classes taken but not completely
-Maybe important?: only through H pre-calc by graduation (though math is obv. not my thing)</p>
