<p>Hi the schools I'm looking to apply to are Deerfield, Millbrook, Governer's, and Westminster. I have currently a 4.5 gpa and last year i graduated 8th grade with a history award, a math award, a science award, and a art award. These were all awards for top in class or most promising. I will be applying for 10th grade (sophomore year). I also attend a IB school and am in the pre IB program. </p>
<p>My current stats are:
English; 95
Math:98
Science:99
Spanish:97
History: 97
Ceramics: 97
Chorus: 94
Drawing: 90</p>
<p>My EC'S are...
Basketball (jv)
Soccer (varsity 2nd string)
Dance Team (varsity)
KURA project-Kids united for rural Africa
volunteer work at animal shelter 2hr/w
I run a ebay business where i sell things for my parents friends and receive 15 percent</p>
<p>Don’t forget the 80 ssat and the 25 days of missed school if you want someones honest opinion. Your grade point average has jumped to a 4.5?</p>
<p>no my grade point average from last year was 4.0 and this year is 4.5 because of honors</p>
<p>Is it even mathematically possible for a middle school GPA to increase from 4.0 to 4.5 in one single term?</p>
<p>gmtplus7- my gpa in 8th grade was 4.0 and now i am in 9th grade and it is 4.5 currently for the first term of 9th grade. When i apply to boarding school I am applying for 10th grade as a sophomore</p>
<p>GPA is not a one term deal. You need to also include all the grades u received in the last 2 or 3 years, depending on how many years of grades the BS requires-- hence the surprise that your CUMMULATIVE GPA could increase by 0.5 in a single term, which is an absolutely humungous jump.</p>
<p>gmtplus7-yeah this year i decided to take 2 honors classes science and math.</p>
<p>I would be more concerned about your attendance issue than anything else. Honestly, schools would not appreciate it very much. You said you skipped school quite a few times because it didn’t provide you with challenging academics. While they should understand the situation, attendance should still be a big issue to them.</p>
