<p>hey guys</p>

<p>i'm a rising senior at the texas academy of mathematics and science @ unt. for those of you unfamiliar with the program, its a 2 year program that lets you live at unt and take a full load of college classes. for all intensive purposes, the program lets you skip your last two years of high school and get a head start on college. after two years, however, you must apply as a freshman to another college and have your credits transferred.</p>

<p>here are my stats</p>

<p>sat I: 2190
act : 35
sat II: bio: 790, chem: 780, math: 780
COLLEGE gpa (this is a real college gpa at unt): 3.56
High School gpa (freshman and soph years): 3.66 uw / 4.0 w
5/5 on bio ap, 5/5 on world history ap</p>

<p>ec's

avid golfer year round, compete in many tournaments

<p>One of my good friends at school went to TAMS! I think he is pretty comparable to you, which bodes well. Your scores look pretty good, but it looks like you might be lacking leadership, which could be a problem. Who knows though, with the stats the way they are, half of admission is probably based on luck.</p>

<p>is that right?! how about that...</p>

<p>thanks for the input</p>

<p>i have other ec's and 2 leadership positions, but i just didn't want to post them because it really reveals who i am....</p>

<p>do you know if your friend also had similar sat scores?</p>

<p>also, what do you think the adcom will think about my gpa? i know it sounds low when compared to other applicants but how much weight do you think they will give to the fact that it is a college gpa?</p>

<p>much thanks in advance</p>
