<p>course rigor: i have one of the top 4-5 toughest courseloads in the class...guidance counselor is indicating this on my rec.</p>
<p>grades: my GPA is 89.8, but this is not communicated directly to colleges. our school simply sends the transcript (without the GPA) so that colleges can focus on the courses we took and the grades we received in them rather than on one number. GPAs at my school are unweighted.</p>
<p>test scores: 34 on the ACT. never took the SAT. 790 on u.s. history subject test...took the spanish subject test TODAY and will send if i receive a good score.</p>
<p>recs: i'm getting one from the headmaster of my school! (who was also my u.s. history teacher). and one from my ap spanish lit teacher...both recs should be top-notch.</p>
