Chance Me for Schools

<p>Stats: I have taken 8 Honors classes, 5 AP classes, and 3 college classes through the running start program. I have a 3.6 UW GPA and a 4.3 W GPA. I am in the top quarter of my class and I have a 26 ACT/ 1780 SAT. I am Hispanic and am applying for financial aid. </p>

<ul>
<li>I have always challenged myself in school, but have always gotten a B in AP math and science classes. I have taken AP classes ranging from Art History to Calculus. I am eager to learn everything and I love to challenge myself. My GPA dropped last year because I moved to a new high school my junior year, but as of now I have a 4.0 UW GPA this semester.</li>

<p>Your GPA and ethnicity definitely gave you a boost for college admissions. AND OMG, your volunteer stuff is impressive. Kudos to you. You definitely has it going there!</p>

<p>Oh, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think legacy only applies to parents. So grandparents or cousins or whatever relative doesn’t really count.</p>

<p>But still, you have the credentials!</p>
