<p>Awards:
AMC 10 (only in our school, kind of a joke but they recognized it at our ceremony so eh), National Merit Commended, "Academic Excellence" which is basically our form of honor roll.</p>

<p>"Hook": Probably doesn't fall under this, but I worked at a software company in India in 2007, studied math in Oxford SS in 2008 and again at Harvard in 2009. </p>

<p>Yeah, I know the deadlines are all past and all my apps are sent, but I suppose I was just looking to see if I'm considered competitive for T20 schools. I'm kinda worried about my GPA but I'm hoping the IB curriculum makes up for that. Also unrelated, do colleges tend to count art courses in GPA? Because I already had to factor out my Catholic school's mandatory religion classes from my grades.</p>

<p>hi! looking at your stats, i think you would still be competetive, mainly because your gpa would probably be buffered by the rigor of your school. then again, you also would look similar to a lot of applicants…you have standard test scores for this range of schools, and you have some extracurriculars, so chance would still have to play a big part. but i do believe you have a reasonable shot, it all depends on how well your app comes across admissions.</p>

<p>regarding art classes, i don’t think the grade counts unless it’s a high level course…but don’t quote me on that. that’s just what i’ve heard at my high school</p>
