*Rank: 31/317
*SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
*ACT: Taking it June 10th.
*9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 2 B's on my transcript and 1 b+), 10th grade i took 2 honors but got A's across the board, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors class.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/interesting facts:

<p>Your extracurriculars show how much of a commitment you have placed in music, but SATs and GPA are still vewwy important. Your SATs are sort of on the low side, but your GPA ain't that bad. You would probably be applying to the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, and you still need a good SAT or ACT score to get in, even if you are planning to major in music. If your GPA raises to 3.9 UW, i would say you have a shot, but try to get your SATs or ACTs up. That would really help you.</p>

<p>hahaha yes i know how important those factors are. I am crossing my fingers, praying to the Almighty, and wishing I have good luck June 10th for the ACT b/c the sat's just ... idk i can't do them for some reason. But, I'm hoping I can get like at least a 31 or a 31+ on the ACT so i can have a better chance ^_^.</p>
