Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>i am heading into my junior year in a public high school with a reputation for strong academics. i have a 3.8 unweighted and 4.5 weighted gpa. my school offers 4 levels of classes: college prep (CP), accelerated (ACC), honors (HON), and AP, respectively increasing in difficulty. here are my grades:</p>

<p>freshman:
HON English- B+
HON Latin 1- A
HON Environmental Science- B
ACC Algebra 2 & Trigonometry- A+
ACC World History- A</p>

<p>EC: volleyball, basketball, softball</p>

<p>sophomore:
HON English- A
HON Latin 2- A+
AP Biology- A- (an 800 on the Biology-E SAT2, 5 on AP test)
HON Geometry- A
HON Pre-AP US History- A-
ACC Civil War- A-</p>

<p>EC: volleyball, softball</p>

<p>in addition to the sports, i have been an altar server for over 5 years, which is twice a month. i volunteer helping children with special needs play sports and i was captain of my summer softball team last year. i joined NHS and plan on volunteering regularly at a local nursing home this summer. i joined composting club this year, and will stay in it for the rest of high school. i am also going to join republican club and community service club. i live in Massachusetts if that is of any importance. i took the PSATs in the fall and scored in the 89th percentile overall.</p>

<p>aren’t there any bored people about there? please :(! it’s the third time i’ve posted this!</p>

<p>If I were you, I would post any standardized testing scores you have and any awards. It makes it easier to review</p>

<p>i haven’t taken the sats yet. i am a rising junior. last fall, i took the psats and didn’t too that well- i was in the 89th percentile, but my scores were all in the 60s. i also received the alg2/trig award my freshman year, and two summa cum laude awards for doing well on the national latin exams.</p>

<p>also, does anyone have any recommendations for sat prep books? vocab especially; i’m mostly worried about the critical reading section. thanks!</p>

<p>Hmmm well for the SATs… best thing to get is the collegeboard official book. and for vocab I’ve got a GREAT book!! it’s called “Hot words for the SAT” by Linda Carnevale. awesome awesome awesome</p>

<p>Relax, nothing really matters yet. Junior year is really what matters. Do a post like this as a rising senior.</p>

<p>If you are really dying to know, I think you are on a good track towards Notre Dame as of now, just don’t fail junior year. :)</p>

<p>chill you have all summer and fall after junior year to stress
hit tons of AP’s prep HARD for tests bc an APP means nothing if they throw it away after dimissing you by your test scores
Notre Dame doesnt consider writing section so this mean study like double for CR & Math</p>

<p>being catholic they also like to see leadership & service hours
so continue racking those up
TEST SCORES only get them to read your app EC’S & Subjective info (essay ect.) set you apart and hopefully above others</p>

<p>still being younger i encourage you to research research research on your own until you become an authority on college matters yourself</p>
