<p>Hey</p>
<p>Im a High school junior. I know its early.</p>
<p>Here is some info about me:</p>
<p>I live in South Florida, in a suburb of Fort Lauderdale
I go to one of the biggest high schools in the country, and it is the best high school in all of South Florida according to many people. </p>
<p>My GPA:
Unweighted: 3.5
Weighted: 4.52
Core: 3.84
Class Ranking: 168 out of 949.
PSAT Sophomore Year: 173
Math: 65
Verbal: 55
Writing: 53</p>
<p>I am unhappy with my class ranking. The fact that I took a couple of regular classes messed me up with this. </p>
<p>I am really good at math, but my verbal and writing scores weren't that high because I wasn't prepared and ran out of time at the beginning.</p>
<p>My top college choices are UM, UF, FSU, Georgetown and Nova Southeastern</p>
<p>Georgetown is there because its a great school and I have tons of family in DC. This summer, I saw it from far away, and it looks like Hogwartz. Is that a correct perception?</p>
<p>I wanted to study either medicine or law, but I realized that medicine isn't for me since science isn't my thing. So now I want to study law</p>
<p>So what do you guys think?</p>
<p>I will post my next PSAT score and SAT scores when I take them soon</p>
<p>
With a 65 on math? I don’t think so.
Your GPA is very low considering your very-subpar test scores.</p>
<p>Your only chance at this rate is to have a really big hook like URM athlete or something… sorry but bump those test scores WAYYY up as well as your GPA.</p>
<p>I assume that you took the PSATs as a sophomore, which I’ve never thought made any sense.<br>
If you treat those scores as a predictor, don’t even bother.
If, on the other hand, your scores this fall show huge improvement, thereby suggesting you might get closer to 1500/1600 on the SATs, then you might have a shot, although I still think the odds are not good. You’ve said nothing, though, about the rigor of your curriculum and ECs.</p>
<p>Ok I will update this.</p>
<p>That SAT score is as a sophomore. I wasn’t well prepared for it. For this PSAT in 2 weeks, I will have studied and they will go up. I ran out of time in the first reading parts since I didn’t know this was by parts. I actually scored in the 90th percentile among sophomores, and I scored better than 80% of Juniors. I will let you guys know what I get on the new PSAT and on the SAT. The AP’s will improve my GPA as well, as Im putting A LOT more effort into schoo lnow than before</p>
<p>As for classes I’ve taken, by the end of this year, I will have taken 5 AP classes (Psychology, Human Geography, Spanish, Calculus, and American History) and plan on taking 4 Senior Year. My school, we go by block scheduling, so you can only take 4 classes/semester, and if they’re all AP’s, just 4 all year maximum.
I took Calculus 10th grade, chemistry, physics, among others.</p>
<p>As for extracurriculars, I have played varsity waterpolo for my 1st 2 years, making it 3. The team made it to the State Championships last year. I also play club soccer for one of the top ranked teams in the country.
As for clubs, Im a member of the Law and Justice Club, National Honor Society, National Society of High School Scholars, Spanish Honor Society, and been a member of a few others.</p>
<p>Oh. And I got 5’s in both AP’s I’ve taken so far. Psych and Spanish</p>
<p>Honestly, it’s too early to chance.
Your non quantative stats look good. Keep that up.
But seriously, your GPA and test scores NEED to go up…</p>
<p>You said that APs will improve your GPA, but I assume you’re talking about weighted. The focus will be on your UNweighted GPA, plus the rigor of your curriculum. (Many schools don’t weight, and others weight differently, so that’s the best way to compare.)</p>
