<p>no APs junior year? </p>

<p>anyways it looks good. make sure you spend time on ur essays and show off something unique about yourself. from the stats you look like the average high scoring smart kid. also take SATs up to 3 times if you do bad. and check in the fall on the website to sign up for an alumni interview.</p>

<p>About the SAT , ur score is fine take it again only if you r really confident u'll do better !! If your teacher recs and essays are good you have chances of getting in.</p>

<p>ITG, i took ap chem junior year, the rest i am gonna take senior year</p>

5

<p>Just curious, how can you have over a 4.0, if you only took one AP? Is your scale out of 5.0??</p>

6

<p>the scale is out of 4.6</p>

7

<p>how come my school system always effs us all over, our scale is 4.0 with only APs weighted and 94-100 is an A, ***!</p>

8

<p>4.6 sounds pretty arbitrary? Why 4.6? Why not 4.78?</p>

<p>michaelburt don't worry colleges aren't stupid they can smell a smart kid when they see one, an A student is an A student is an A student even when he has a 3.4 GPA.</p>
