<p>Hi, I'm starting a thread to see how close to the "right track" I am for getting into some colleges. I'm a Junior right now, so I'll be applying this fall. </p>
<p>Chinese, female, Canadian citizen (in the US on parent's work visa)</p>
<p>SAT I- current scores: 770 math, 770 CR, 800 writing (2340 total, retaking for the 800 in math)
SAT II's- current scores: 750 math II, 700 bio (I'm taking chem, math I, and English literature in May.)</p>
<p>AP's- currently taking AP English Language, AP Calculus AB, AP Chemistry. Predicting a 5 in at least Calc and English. My school only offers AP classes to Juniors and Seniors.</p>
<p>Next year, I am taking AP computer science, psychology, English Literature, physics, biology, and statistics.</p>
<p>GPA- (partially weighted system, so honors and AP classes are on a 5.0 scale instead of a 4.0) 4.5</p>
<p>Class rankings have not come out yet, but I am definitely in the top 10%. </p>
