Chance and I'll return the favor!

<p>Ok so, I go to a really rigorous private catholic high school in New York, that sends 100% of graduates to college every year, this year we have more than 20 going to top schools. I am taking the hardest courses available but my school offers no APs, or accelerated, everyone is on the same track, but we are on the same level as APs.</p>

<p>I had a 88.4 (88.8 without religion) freshman year, 88.0 ( 88.0 without religion) sophomore year, and a 93.4 (93.5 without religion) this year. So my three year average is a 89.93 with religion and a 90.1 without. Apparently secular schools recalculate GPAs without religion.</p>

<p>My ACT was a 28 (27-Eng, 28-Math, 29-Read, 26-Sci) Retaking in september
SAT was a 1720 (540-CR, 600-Math, 580-Wr) Retaking in Oct</p>

<p>buuuuuuuuump</p>

<p>come on guys, please</p>

<p>ECs are good…what’s your GPA on a 4.0 scale…you have to raise your SATs crazy amounts. Are you doing any SAT IIs?</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>hmm, i think a 90 is like a 3.6 UW</p>

<p>and yes i know i must raise the SAT, and no i havent planned on it because most of the schools dont require them and the ones that do will take the ACT with writing, i dont know if it would be better if took them, but if i did i guess i would take Math IIC and Chem, idk i havent put thought into it</p>
