<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>Let me know if I have a chance for NC State, ECU, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, and Appalachian State. NC State is definitely my #1, so please let me know where I stand for that school. I am trying to major in psychology, but that may change later in college. </p>
<p>Race: Asian (Indian, to be specific) </p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.125 (Terrible, I know =/)
Weighted GPA: 3.9583</p>
<p>(The main reason why theres such a gap between my weighted and unweighted is because I took a couple of AP classes [and some honors] that I got Cs in. Do the colleges take into account the actual grades of each class?)</p>
<p>Class rank/size: 169/535</p>
<p>SAT score: 1770
CR: 500
Math: 630
Writing: 640
Essay: 10
(Im retaking the SATs this October 9th after taking SAT private tutoring, so hopefully that score will increase) </p>
<p>AP exam: Government and Politics: 3
(Does NC State care a lot about AP exam scores?) </p>
<p>Honors/Achievements:
-Presidential Volunteer Service Award
-A and A/B Honor Roll
-National Honor Society 11/12

-Secretary of Youth and Government Club (10-12)
-Treasurer of Human Rights and Social Justice Club (11-12)
-Features Editor for school newspaper (11-12)

<p>(Okay before I explain my ec, Im just putting out there that I live in a very Indian-heavy community, therefore a lot of my service comes from that community and from my temple, which is called HSNC: Hindu Society of North Carolina.)

<p>Employment:
-Worked at Mrs. Fields cookie store in the mall for a year and a half (Starting midway through junior year) about 20 hours a week. Worked as a cashier and sometimes baked in the back. Earnings were minimum wage. </p>
<p>Recommendations: One from my newspaper teacher. Even though its an elective, I have taken this class consistently for two whole years. I am also getting one from my AP Enviro teacher.
Essay: Not completed that yet, but I will finish in the next week. </p>
