<p>How can you have a 4.1 UW avg. on a 4.0 scale?
And are you going into junior year, or just finished?</p>

<p>Just looking at your EC’s, I think they’re good. Just stick with them. Maybe add a sport in there to make yourself look even more well rounded.</p>

<p>My school (in NJ) is weird. Our UW goes up to 4.33. And I’m going to junior year.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know it’s pretty bad. Last year was our school’s first year in SO, and I didn’t really study- just an all-nighter right before the comp. Since it’s so “pathetic” should I just quit?</p>

<p>No, I dont think quitting will be a very good idea D-:
Even though you are trying to make more room and time to study by quitting, being in the SO is really good :smiley: And getting 4th isnt that bad D-:
And your GPA is fine (really good actually) !!
Yes, you should keep ur SO and try to study harder the next time to get into a higher place :smiley:
Good luck!</p>
