<p>and a slack class of some sort or AP macroeconomics depending if the class forms in the fall. The spring semeter class for this sort will definatly be slack, I need to prepare for AP exams. </p>

<p>For my EC's:</p>

<p>In Music theory:

<p>I am a Leo Director in the Chinese-American Leos of Atlanta (commuity service club the teenager form of the Lions club)
Next year I will be board member, treasurer.</p>

<p>I also have a leadership position in Commuity Outreach, I help out on Elementry schools teaching kids how to do math and reading.
Next year I will be vice-president</p>

<p>I have about 150 hours of community service and counting.</p>

<p>I am in the Debate Team Secretary and will be president next year.
I have been to about 11 debate tourments and have placed in 4 of them.
4 Quarterfinalist positions</p>

<p>I also have a treasurer and sectary position for Junior State of America.
I made a 640 on my verbal and a 680 on on math in the SAT.</p>

<p>It looks like my GPA after these 3 weeks will be a 4.0 weighted and and 3.7 unweighted</p>

<p>If I get 5 A's and 1 B in the fall of my senior year my GPA will be a 4.1 unweighted and a 3.8 unweighted.</p>

<p>My class rank is a 110/600 and I am an asian male.</p>

2

<p>how can you have a 4.0 weighted with two C's sophmore year?</p>

3

<p>*If I get 5 A's and 1 B in the fall of my senior year my GPA will be a 4.1 weighted and a 3.8 unweighted.</p>

<p>an honors class A is worth 4.5 and an AP is worth a 5.
A B is worth 3.5 in an honors class while a B in AP is worth a 4.</p>

4

<p>UGA recalculates your GPA based on their own scale, which only awards a + .5 per grade for AP classes. Thus when they say their average entering freshman honors GPA average is 4.07, it's on that grade scale. </p>

<p>You look decently on-track, but you might want to bump that SAT score up to over 1400. Make sure you get all A's/B's for your final semester this year and your first semester next year and visit the honors program to talk to them and make sure they know who you are. Also, I know Walton's a beast, but you're probably going to need a higher class rank than that. Being asian will help though since they're very much into all non-white students.</p>

<p>Trying to pull up SAT at the moment plan to take 10 practice SAT altogether, I am on number 5 now.</p>

<p>Class rank will go up with GPA, don't worry:)</p>

6

<p>For the kind of school that Walton is, im upset at their weighting scale. Under that scale I would have over a 4.0 too.</p>

7

<p>Woot I got a gold medal for the national Latin Exam year 3.</p>
