<p>I would have taken more AP/IB classes if possible. I took 1 in my sophomore year, 7 my junior year, and am enrolled in 6 for next year. And its a good idea to improve your SAT score like you said, but your subject II test scores are very good in my opinion. I think you meant 4.1 weighted GPA and your unweighted GPA isn’t bad either. Extra-curricular are okay I think, I’m not sure since I also plan to apply ED for Johns Hopkins. Good luck to you though.</p>

<p>Yea, you’re right. I should have taken more APs my junior year–i only took 1, AP Biology. But that was because i wanted to focus more on SATs.
I couldn’t take any APs sophmore year becuase my school doesn’t allow students to do so.
But in my senior year, I will be taking 3 APs plus two honors courses.</p>

<p>And yes, the 4.10 is for weighted.</p>
