<p>I am talking about Illinois Math and Science Academy. So, currently I'm a 9th grader at palatine high school at creating my application for IMSA. Over the past 3 years, I've maintained a solid 4.0 gpa unweighted and of course with getting A+ in my AP HuGe class this year I have somewhere over a 4 gpa. In terms of classes, I've always been in advanced math and english in the 6th grade year moving onto to honors Geometry and advanced reading in my 8th grade year. I am in honors algebra 2, honors english, and honors bio, and AP huge currently and project lead the way, and spanish 2 again with a 4.0 + uneweighted gpa. Starting with 6th grade, there weren't many clubs but I was in engineering and "math" club and I was the student council president in 6th grade which included giving the speech for presidency and other speeches during the school year if that counts towards leadership skills. In 7th and 8th grade, I was a starter for the math team and scored highest in my school and team total in the contests in 8th grade. I was also a participant in the 8th and 7th grade science fair winning bronze and silver medals in the respective years. Another thing alongside the 6th grader presidency that I believe will make me one of the more unique applicants for IMSA, is that in my 7th and 8th grade years, I was the starting center for our basketball team and I basically have a starting spot for my 9th grade year as well. In 8th grade I was also in track and we won a district gold medal if that counts. Adding on to leadership skills, in my 8th grade year, I was a peer leader, which is basically like a national honor society mini version created by my district's jr highs where you apply out of hundreds of students and get selected and I was the leader in that group and gave speeches and presentations. Ending my 8th grade year, I gave the closing graduation speech as well! In my 8th grade year, I tied 2nd for both math team's AMC 8 and 10 contests and I was in a robotics class where we made a 10 story elevator and we got 1st place if that is relevant. I was an American Legion award finalist but it was awarded to a person of higher minority level and it's what literally my principle told me otherwise I would've won it. Idk why he told me this btw. P.S., I'm Indian he was Mexican and my best friend! Anyway, again, 4.0 weighted for all 3 years and 4.0+ unweighted and for my 8th grade year I received numerous academic awards including a golden tassel for my success. Moving on into my freshman year, I currently am a starter in math team, part of science olympiad, again plan to play basketball and tennis, and part of scholastic bowl. I took a practice SAT and scored it and took out the writing score cause it's irrelevant to IMSA and I got 560 on reading and 670 on math and it's obviously not my best work but I heard it was a perfectly ok score for IMSA alongside my other accolades and statistics. So now I ask you, my peers and more acknowledged ones, what are my chances at IMSA? P.S, my teachers love me and I'm sure my 8th grade teacher who is my favorite and vice versa will write a great extra teacher report. Thanks.</p>
<p>My unweighted gpa is actually above 4 somewhere around 5 btw</p>
Avi do you know Caleb neilson, Steven Pikor, Devon, or Aj Grana I used to live around that area
@DaDragonKing77 Yeah they were all elementary and jr high buds. They also go to phs with me now.
