<p>GPA: 3.8 unweighted, top 10%</p>

<p>SAT's: 2390 (Math: 800, Reading: 790, Writing: 800)
Subject Tests: (Math II-800, Physics-770, Biology-720)</p>

<p>EC's: </p>

<p>-Varsity Tennis
-JV Cross Country
-Cello section leader, all-state orchestra
-Letters published in NY Times, LA Times, and local newspaper
-Honorable Mention in state science fair
-Worked summers as intern in computer shop, at community redevelopment agency, and as a babysitter

<p>Do you think I can get into Stanford without a 4.0?</p>

<p>Rubik's Cube Club? Heh.</p>

<p>Anyway, looks like a competitve application. 4.0 isn't everything, the rank seems to be more important in many cases. Top 5% is ideal, but top 10% isn't going to kill you at all.</p>

<p>Thanks, I actually think I might be in top 5%, our school doesn't tell us (I just wish I didn't get so many B's in the first semester of junior year), and ha, yeah, Rubik's Cube Club is fun</p>
