<p>I am a junior in high school. Lets start with the good: My first SAT was a 2100 (800 math, 630 verbal) but my second one will most likely be above 2200 (Ive greatly improved my critical reading scores to 740+). My PSAT score was 223 which means almost definitely a national merit scholarship. Im planning on taking SAT IIs in Math I, and Math II, and getting at least 750 on both. Im also an excellent essay writer, and have had to endure my share of challenges, so essays can be very good. Ive done countless hours of volunteer work through church mission trips and boy scouts. I am currently working in a CPAs office doing basic accounting, and the CPA is lending me out to lawyers to do work for them (who are all willing to write great recs. One is the number 2 divorce lawyer in all of houston) Im also a soccer letterman so playing soccer at a division II or III schools is an option.
The bad: The only bad is my grades (lots of Bs). Im taking ALL AP/IB classes (and the hardest AP/IB classes and am an IB Diploma candidate). I will probably not be in the top 10% at my school, but definitely the top 15% (of a class of 1000+), my GPA is probably around 3.2-3.3ish unweighted, but 4.2ish weighted (rigor is MOST rigorous). Do you think i can get into those kinda schools if i make straight As my first semester senior year? If not do you have suggestions for matches? Im planning on majoring in Mathematics</p>
