<p>My high school:
It is super small. THere are like 9000 applicants, but only 110 get in. We have a 100% college acceptance rate (but it has been dropping i think). The kids dont get into great schools. Lots of SUNYs, some NYU, a lot of POSSE scholars though (like 4, but thats like 4% of the graduating class), some CUNYs (my school is affliated with one). I think we had like 3 kids get into Ivies, I know one couldnt go because they were under a binding schlorship (sucks :/)</p>
<p>It has a silver award according to the website that rates schools. </p>
<p>RUMOR IS: It would be specialized if it was bigger.</p>
<p>I have a 91.43% AVERAGE:
Math - 94
Global - 90
Art - 90
Writing Arts - 90
Spanish - 91
Global Lit - 93
Chemisty - 92</p>
<p>According to the scale:
4.0 -- 93% and up
3.7 -- 90% and up
3.3 -- 85% and up
....</p>
<p>I have a 3.78. I dont know what is the GPA system in my school, but I am taking college courses this summer and thats the grade system they use.</p>
<p>I took a colelge course (BUSINESS1000) at BAruch CUNY and i recieved a 91%
I plan to take more. </p>
<p>On my practice SATs I score:
MATH- 620
WIRTING -630
CR- 520
TOTAL- 1760</p>
<p>i plan to score higher...</p>
<p>EC (I think this is a strong suit of mine. this is what its gonna be by the time i apply):
-- Korean Traditional Dance/ INstruments : 4 years
-- Lorax Club : 2 years
-- Student Gov't: 2 years
-- Softball Varsity: 1 year
-- Wrestling Team Manager :1 year
-- Volunteer at Thrift Shop: 20 hours
-- Volunteer at some like youth group: I plan to get 100 hours this year
-- Film Club: 2 years
-- Tutor: I dont know, I gonna start tutoring</p>
<p>I am trying to get my writing published at Teenink, so I can say i got it published. </p>
<p>Now here is the problematic part:
I have no APs.
In Sophomore and Freshman year my school did not offer any. </p>
<p>In Junior year, they only offered: Art, Global and English.
I applied to english but I was rejected. The APs in my school are difficult to get into because I am competing with the rising juniors and rising seniors. Priority is given to the seniors because thats their last opportunity.
I wasnt insterested in any of the APs, I wanted something that is science or math related. I plan to apply in senior year.</p>
<p>To make up for the lack of APs, I decided to self study for the test.
AP statistics and AP _____ (idk yet)</p>
<p>On the bright side: All of my classes are Honors (but thats for every single student)</p>
<p>No IB diplomas are offered.</p>
<p>colleges:
i was looking into the USC - RHP so please tell me if i have a chance at that. </p>
<p>but otherwise
i have no idea where i want to go. </p>
<p>I really wanted to go to UCberkley, but i figured i am probably not a strong candiadate (please comment on this)</p>
<p>NYU Stern is another option. My sisters go to NYU, so i am hoping that might help.
USC is like my top choice.
Baruch CUNY is a safety, CUNY honors would be a definite reach</p>
<p>gahhhhh -- please help me find some matches and safeties for me.</p>
