current california senior looking to major in bioengineering or biochemistry with a minor in a language depending on the school.
here is my current list:
University of Waterloo
University of Toronto
University of British Columbia
Northeastern
University of Colorado, Boulder
Tulane
Cornell
George Washington
RPI

Standardized test scores :
ACT 32
SAT 1440 (770 writing, 670 mathmatics)
AP World (soph year) :4
AP Chem (soph year) : 3
AP Bio- 4
AP US : 5
AP Spanish: 5
AP Lang: 5
SAT Chem: 700

I didn’t study much for any of these tests (horrible test taker- im that person that panics and stares at the wall for half the time lol, but I created and am following through wtih a much better study plan for all of my AP tests this time around!)
i’ve taken most of the AP courses that my school has offered, and have gotten a pretty even mix of A’s and B’s throughout my high school career. My grades are on a slight upward trend as the courses have gotten harder, but my GPA is still relatively low.
UW GPA: 3.45
W GPA: 3.8
I might be able to raise it a little, especially the weighted, by the end of this quarter.
