As of the end of first semester junior year, my weighted GPA is 3.9 (my school doesn’t send unweighted)
I took the PLAN (psat version of ACT) last year and was projected a 31, I took the ACT a couple weeks ago and have not received my scores yet but I think i got in the 31-33 range. I got a 2030 on the PSAT with no studying (I’m taking the SAT next month), so I should be able to raise that into the 2100-2200 range.
I have talked to my coaches and they are pretty confident that I can get good enough times this season to run track at Penn, which I will definitely do if it means it will help me get into the school.
Thanks in advance!
