<p>Hello, a high schol junior here.
Well, I'm Asian and my dad is very insistent on me getting into "good" universities, preferably with a scholarship. I want to know my chances, especially because the admissions process starts pretty soon. I go to a Catholic boarding school in New England, but I'm not religious.</p>
<p>My GPA: 3.8-ish, unweighted
SAT reasoning: Reading 750, Math 800, Writing 790; overall 2340 (the first was 2210, and this is my second)
SAT subject tests: Math II 800, planning to take chemistry, physics, english lit, etc</p>
<p>SUBJECTS
AP's
Calc BC 4, Comp Sci 5, Japanese 5</p>
<p>Currently taking
Chemistry AP, Physics AP, Stats AP, US History AP, Linear Algebra, English, and church thingy. I'm expecting scores of 5, 4/5, 5, 4 in these AP's, respectively, and I will also be taking the English Language AP.</p>
<p>Next year:
Advanced Art (Photography), Real Analysis, Bio AP, Green Chemistry, English Lit AP, church thingy, and then one more subject I haven't decided yet (I'm thinking Music theory AP)</p>
<p>I'm also on the Honors committee at our school which is a committee that decides on the fate of students who violate academic honesty.
I don't know about being a prefect yet because it's pretty clear that my houseparents don't really like me.
However, I know that my English teacher, my math teacher (who is the principal), my art teacher and my college councilor will write me really good recommendations.</p>
