Hello,
For anyone who knows about admissions, I would love to share my stats. I am currently a high school Junior. Unfortunately, my GPA is quite low because I struggled very much Freshman year.
Schools
University of Delaware
Valparaiso University
Loyola University Chicago
GPA (weighted): 3.638 (out of 5)
Location: Massachusetts
PSAT scores: 1130, 570 RW, 560 Math
Desired major: Global Studies and International Business
Class Choices Grade 9:
Algebra Geometry (A level): Semester one: 72, Semester two: 74 (my math teacher in 9th grade did not interact with the students, to this made it very hard to ask questions or make connections. Also, much of our learning is based on an iPad, so it is very easy to get distracted with the screen-based learning.
English 9 (A level): Semester one: 94, Semester two: 91
Intro Physics (A level): Semester one: 81, Semester two: 88 (first semester was tough because a teacher left the school mid-year and the department was scrambling to find a new teacher)
Latin II (A level, although honors and A level were combined in the same class): Semester one: 84, Semester two: 86 (while I am aware my Latin grades are not awful in grade 9, I loved the teacher. Unfortunately, I did not get the same teacher in 10th grade, and this has made me slightly less motivated. Plus, I have always struggled in Latin, and have been counting the days until I can drop it.)
World Civilizations (A level) Semester one: 85, Semester two: 90
Class Choices Grade 10
