Hi,
I am a white male who attends an extremely competitive public high school in Ohio (Top-ranked public school in Central Ohio, I believe top 10-15 in state). I have just finished my sophomore year. I am in the 70-80k a year income bracket.
GPA: I have a weighted GPA of 3.87 (3.84 freshman year, 3.93 sophomore year) and an unweighted GPA of 3.65-ish. HOWEVER, these numbers are almost guaranteed to go up (Likely something like 4.0 W/3.7xx UW by graduation) due to a change in the schools grading scale that will make it much more student friendly (One of the last schools in the state of Ohio to make this change). School does not rank, and if they do, I have no idea what my rank is.
ACT/SAT: I have yet to take the ACT, but I take it this Saturday and based on practice tests, I am anticipating somewhere in the 25-27 range, but I haven’t even started my junior year. I will likely continue to take the ACT until I get a 31 or higher. I plan on not taking the SAT, but I got an 1770 on the practice SAT and if I continually struggle with the ACT, I may give the real SAT a try.
