Hey guys, I know you deal with a lot of "chances at so-and-so college," but it's just such a big curiousity!</p>
<p>Here are some stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.35/5 weighted, 3.85 unweighted
Rank: top 10%
Classes: Frosh-Honors everything, 3 B's (Bio, World History, English), B+ (Geo), A- (French)
Soph-English H-A
Chem H-B+
French H-A
History AE-B+
Algebra II H-A-
Junior-GRADES TBD; AP Chem and Bio, H English, Trig, and French, and AE US Hist</p>
<p>I kind of slacked off on history. :/ BTW I am a rising junior! (poop worst year, as people tell me)</p>
<p>SAT-2300
SAT Bio-750

SAT Math II-780

Science Club, 4 years, on state team for 2 years (won gold nationally), regional captain 1 year
Volunteering: Hospital-30 Hours

<p>I plan to be a National Merit Scholar semifinalist or finalist (fingers crossed!) and write a butt-kicking essay. I will also push myself to maintain my weighted GPA or try to get it into the 4.4 region.</p>
<p>I realize my academic profile kinda sucks because of those B's and the lack of Honors US History. And I'm not SPECTACULAR in any way -.- (I'm working on that...)</p>
<p>Also, do you guys have any advice on attaining quality teacher recommendations?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>
