<p>My stats:
GPA (w): 3.59
GPA (uw): 3.32</p>

<p>ACT: Writing 25, Math 27, Reading 30, Science 34. Composite: 29</p>

<p>SAT: Essay 10, Writing: 700, Math: 680, Reading: 640, Composite: 2020 (or 1320 on 1600 scale)</p>

<p>AP tests (got 4's on all of them): US Gov, Human Geography, US History (plan to take AP Enviro, AP Macro, and AP Micro this year).</p>

<p>My story is as follows. I went to a very easy school freshman year, the school closed and I switched to a much more academically challenging school. My grades went from a 4.0 to a ~3.4 for Soph year through the first half of Jr. year (I got 1 academic A throughout the whole time). Then I got extended test time and my grades went up to 3.67 (I currently have a 4.0 again). </p>

<p>EC's:
- AP Scholar
- Student of the month
- Co-leader of water quality monitoring group
- Model UN: 4 awards
- community service: cutting, stacking wood for the elderly, and doing odd jobs for them
- finance: I have done a lot of financial work on family finances, and am a very good stock investor (beat ~90% of professional managers, and am in the 94th percentile of amateurs). </p>

<p>my intended major is finance, unless I go to U Mass in which case it is sports management. </p>

<p>The schools I am applying to are:
Colorado University (I live in CO)
Colorado State
Oregon U
U Washington
U Wisconsin - Madison
U Mass - Amherst</p>

<p>My other question is this: how does applying early decision/action affect my chances of getting in? How does it affect my chances of getting financial aid?</p>
