<p>TESTING
SAT: 2310--struggled in math.
SAT II: Perfect score. Took United States History, French, Math II.
ACT: Scores still pending--I predict average or above.</p>

<p>APS: Fives on all four junior year AP courses listed--obviously don't have senior year scores. In addition to my junior year scores, I self-studied for World, Comparative Government, Microeconomics, Calc AB, and Human Geo. I earned fives on those as well. </p>

<p>I took Calc AB to make up for the C in Precalc--any thoughts on this? </p>

<p>ECS: </p>

<p>Total of 450 volunteer hours--especially passionate for Stop Hunger Now (aims to fight global poverty), French Tutoring, Discovery Place volunteer, and tutoring ESL kids at the library. </p>

<p>Clubs: Debate, Key Club (Since Freshman Year), National Honor Society, National French Honor Society, Latin Club (President), French Club (Officer), Newspaper (Officer), National History Honor Society (Officer), and DECA (President, numerous leadership positions since freshman year).</p>

<p>EXTRA
Excellent essays and recs, in my opinion. </p>

<p>FACTS: </p>

<p>Are you in the U.S.? If so, I can’t think of any reason to reject you.</p>

<p>Thank you for replying! I am in the U.S.–I currently live in the Southeast area. I was worried about my grades, especially the B’s in AP Econ, Spanish I, and Honors Biology, plus the CHonors Precalc. I tried to prove my abilities in econ by getting fives on both the macro and micro (self studied) AP exams, and I switched from Spanish to French, which I’ve gotten As in so far and hold an office in the club. As for precalc, the same year I got the C, I self studied for calc and got a five on the AP exam. Do any of these things make those bad grades a little less…harmful for my chances?</p>

<p>Why are you taking Calc AB this year if you already took the AP test? Does your school not offer BC?</p>
