<p>Hey!
I'm a rising Junior and I have really started thinking about colleges.. I had a horrible sophomore year due to major slacking, but now I have a very strong motivation and I am trying much harder. Please take the time to read, and please offer some advice on how I can improve myself and become a stronger applicant (ED). </p>
<p>Academics:
I currently stand with a 3.872 uw GPA, ranked 21 out of my class of 750 (top 3%).
Freshman year: 12 A's (4.0); 5 Honors, 1 Regular
Sophomore year: 4 B's, 8 A's (3.7); 1 AP (3), rest Honors
Junior year: (Predicted) All A's (4.0); 4 AP, 1 Honors, 1 Regular, 2 AP Self-Study
Senior Year: (Predicted) All A's (4.0); 3 or 4 AP, 2 or 3 Honors</p>
<p>Projected GPA: 3.9 uw before ED, 3.93 after senior year. </p>
<p>I am scheduled to take the SAT in January and I am currently at ~2000-2100. I hope to raise my score to 2200-2300 (which is feasible).
Taking SAT Math IIC and Chemistry and hoping for 750+ in both. ( I find the scores reasonable, given my ability)</p>
