<p>oh yeah - gpa is 5.0 unweighted, 5.6 or 5.7ish weighted (we’re on a wierd 5.0 scale)</p>
<p>Thinking since you do not have your AP course scores for JR yr and only “hopefully” for SR yr, that you are not a SR yet.</p>
<p>If I am right, than nobody can chance you.</p>
<p>Honor roll or student of the quarter does not help when you are competing against NHS or Beta, they maybe bogus now a days, but they still carry weight if you are only on honor roll when the school has NHS. The fact that you do not include a gpa concerns me, and that is a critical factor regarding admissions.</p>
<p>Your course load is a little to difficult to understand
APUSH
Biology 2 blocks
English
- honors
Or is it that you are taking APUSH, APBIO, APENG + honors?</p>
<p>and will be taking all APs for your SR yr?</p>
<p>You also need to define your intended major…Brandeis and French major? IN! UPENN bio-med? Reach at best! Wake Forest is a university that places more emphasis on gpa over SAT, so again the gpa matters to make a decision. ARe you from CA? That also plays a factor for UCSD.</p>
<p>Any HOOKS?</p>
<p>Currently, I would say that you have safeties, matches and reaches.</p>
<p>to clarify things…</p>
<p>Yes, I am a junior (but I don’t see why I can’t be chanced yet.)
I am taking AP Bio (which takes up two blocks), AP Lang, and AP US History, plus honors classes (math and french). I am getting A’s in all my classes.
My senior year I will be taking AP Calc BC, AP French, AP Lit, AP Chem (which takes up two blocks), and AP US Gov.
I also think you must have misread my post, because I am in NHS and French NHS.
I am going to major in biochemistry and go premed.
I do not live in California.</p>
<p>I know my SAT scores are a bit low, but right now I’m guesstimating and I WILL bring them up to at least a 2150-2250.</p>
<p>Anyone else, please?</p>
<p>bump…please does anyone have any input? anything is greatly appreciated</p>
<p>The reason why it is silent is that it is ineffective to reply. You have no true base line, such as your jr yr gpa or a 2nds set of SATs, anything said will be for naught. Plus, many of us have walked this road, what you desire today in dream colleges is not necessarily the same next yr after you do campus visits… Finally, you are asking them to spend time chancing you, while other CCers really need it before they pay the 50-100 application fee, and hours on essays.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, you are low on the totem pole, you can bump it all you want, but it will be ignored by most.</p>
<p>Come back around next summer, when you have your jr yr gpa and the second set of SAT</p>
<p>Not trying to be rude, just explaining why it i silent.</p>
<p>FYI, you can’t chance back since you have no experience in the process or even stats from your jr yr to compare it with.</p>
