<p>Hi everyone! :)</p>
<p>I'm an Asian female at a pretty strong public school on Long Island. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.24 (out of 4.5)
Though we don't rank: Top 20% of my class- though my GPA is a bit on the lower end of the spectrum because of a few slip ups freshman year and sophmore year (nothing below a B: 2 Bs and 1 B+ on my transcript), I believe I have shown progress throughout my 3 years so far (all As and A+s in my junior year- 3 honors classes and 1 AP) and I plan to get straight A+s throughout my first semester of senior year. I realize that trying your best in high school is worth the effort, but I just hope i didn't realize that too late.</p>
<p>AP/Honors Courses=
-Sophmore year: Honors Latin 3 (A+), Honors Chemistry (B, ouch)
-Junior year: AP Biology (A in class, 5 on exam), Pre-Calc Honors (A), Physics Honors (A), Latin 4 Literature Honors (A+)
-Senior year, I'm taking: AP Chemistry, AP Calc AB (but trying to switch into BC), AP Vergil, AP Government, and AP Economics</p>

SAT Subject Tests-
Biology: 750 (in 9th grade)
