<p>I'm currently a junior in high school, but I wanted to know where I stand while I still have time to improve.</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.9
Weighted GPA: 4.0 (Probably higher, but my school stops at 4.0)
*Up-to-date with my first semester grades</p>
<p>I have yet to take the SAT/ACT, but my SAT tutor thinks I'm likely to get an upper 1300/lower 1400 (on a 1600 scale.) I'm aiming for 2100 overall. On the ACT's I'll probably get between a 33 and a 35, based on practice tests I've taken.</p>
<p>Honors/AP Courses:
English H (9th grade)
Biology H (9th grade) - 640 on SAT II, probably won't submit
English H (10th grade)
Geometry H (10th grade)
World History H (10th grade) - 630 on SAT II, probably won't submit
AP English Language (11th grade)
AP United States History (11th grade)

I was certified by New York State as being financially literate (took an exam as part of a class, but did not know where to put it on here.)
Science Honor Society - Junior Year-Present
*Academic advisors have told me I will be inducted into National Honor Society, Business Honor Society, and Spanish Honor Society... This year is my first opportunity to be inducted, because they only induct juniors/seniors.</p>
<p>Work Experience:

<p>Probable senior year schedule:

Marketing III</p>
<p>I'll hopefully get leadership positions two of my three ECs (DECA and peer mentor,) since I'm very involved.</p>
<p>I'm also planning on doing a summer program, either young scholars at UMD or business courses at FIT. I'd love to do something else, but money is a factor (ironic that I'm applying to USC, then.)</p>
<p>Projected major: International business
- I didn't note this, but I've taken 4 business courses since my sophomore year (one of them being college level international business)</p>
<p>Other schools I plan on applying to: University of Miami, University of Maryland, University of Texas - Austin, University of Washington, University of Delaware, SUNY Binghamton, and POSSIBLY UC Berkeley but I don't know if I should waste my time.</p>
<p>Any advice is greatly appreciated :-)</p>
