<p>well its hard without SATs and i'm not really sure whats competitive on 6.0 grading scale...but ecs are pretty good and so is course load...and since youre in the asian club i'm assuming youre asian?...another plus</p>

<p>but if thats your psat score your SATs shouldnt be too much of a problem</p>

<p>Well...don't laugh, but I'm actually the only white girl in Asian Club (lols)...I mainly joined because a lot of my friends are Asian, and I wanted to learn more about the culture. Plus, most of them would go to the club on Friday mornings, and I would be left with no one to talk to in the library...:)
Oh, and the 6.0 grading scale is pretty competitive at my school...you get 10 points added onto your average if you're taking a pre-ap or ap course...</p>
