<p>Stats:
Graduation: Early Summer, 2014, no grades "skipped"
3.65 GPA, previous two years had pre-IB, honors, and AP classes. Electives (2 freshman year; 1 sophomore year) are not honors and thus tended to reduce my weighted GPA even though I had A's in them.
Junior Year: First semester--3.7 GPA--ALL IB/AP classes
Other notable courses: Taking Calc AB junior year, will take "double-math" in senior year--Calc BC and Statistics, replacing my foreign language (AP Latin [I took IB Latin IV in junior year]; Taking double science sophmore (physics honors and chemistry pre-ib,) and for junior/senior years (Chemistry IB and Biology IB--Both had A's Junior year [B's for pre-IB chemistry in sophomore year) (Replaced my elective course in Sophomore year and my "Sixth Subject" (E.g. Comp sci, Philosophy, Psych, etc...) in Junior and Senior Years
SAT: (No subject tests)--750 M, 710 R, 700 W--2160 Composite--Not superscored--the scores were all from my first SAT test, and I haven't taken it a second time yet.
"Commended Scholar" on PSAT (probable, based upon a score of 203)
Class Rank: As of sophomore year, 15%; likely to be significantly higher by beginning of senior year due to 3.7 UW GPA in Junior year, while most other grades are going down due to significantly increased workload (IB and AP courses). Also, pre-IB courses tended to hurt my class rank because of their increased difficulty in spite of their same weighting value as honors courses.</p>
<p>SENIOR YEAR COURSE REGISTRATION (I've heard that this is a factor in admissions): IB Biology, Chemistry, Contemporary American History, English, Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Micro & Macro economics, AP Comp Gov--results in 8 AP tests and 5 IB tests (+ the extended essay and TOK assessment)</p>
