<p>This is very premature as I have not even taken the SAT's but just out of curiousity it would be nice to get some feedback to what I have. I'm aware this isn't much to go on.</p>

<p>GPA: I generally keep a 3.7 on a 4.3 scale, every couple of semesters it floats to a 3.8 and its been 4.0 once or twice.</p>

<p>Courseload: All AP/IB classes, I don't think I'm going to take any IB tests but I'll take 6-8 AP tests.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-3 years of newspaper, editor-in-chief
-3 years of mock trial, county champions
-2 years of forensics
-4 years of ice hockey</p>

<p>Other:
-Attended a symposium on politics at Princeton last summer
-I'm going to be doing some campaign work in '07 for the NJ Assembly elections</p>

<p>I know there's not much to go on, and I may be forgetting some stuff, but feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Also it helps to know what your rank or percentile you are in, that way we know how difficultly your schools grades. For example, a 3.7 at my school would put somebody, if not in the top 10%, then very, very close to it.</p>
