<p>Alright, here this goes. </p>
<p>Sex: male
Location: Oregon</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)
SAT: 2350 (800 verbal, 750 math, 800 writing)</p>
<p>Freshman Year: attended Blacksburg High School (ranked #164 or so) in Blacksburg, VA. Took 7 courses, received high-As (no grade system for A+'s) in each class. Classes were above regular-level, but slightly below honors.</p>
<p>Sophomore Year: Family moved to Modesto, California right during the beginning of the school year. Due to that move (which took until October), I had to take courses through Brigham Young University: Independent Study. Retained my 4.0. Generally, 95% required for an A...40-50% of the grade deteremined on midterms/finals. Grading is done by BYU, tests are proctored by specialists.</p>
<p>Junior Year: Moved again to Salem, Oregon. Still "self-schooled" through BYU. Still have a 4.0. Bad thing about BYU: only one difficulty of course available. So I've taken the most difficult courses available, but alas. There aren't many to choose from. Self-schooling, though, is still far more difficult and requires more responsibility and motivation than my freshman year, by far.</p>
<p>Senior Year: Taking 5 or 6 University-level courses through BYU this year. Expect to retain my 4.0. </p>

<p>ECs have been fairly difficult to do, given my constant moving and self-schooling.</p>
