<p>Here's a bit of background:
I just started my senior year in high school so most of these statistics are from junior year and prior, keep in mind that I'm now enrolled in 6 AP classes and will have an estimated GPA of 5.0 for my Senior year (weighted of course). Additionally, my high school is one of the top rated high schools in my state. And lastly, I'm looking into a political science major. Also, I'm white.</p>
<p>Academics:
Academic GPA (unweighted): 4.0
Academic GPA (weighted): 4.5
Enrolled in Honors or AP classes: yes (straight A's)
In the top 10% of my class. (13 of 733)
SAT: 2050 (will be taking again in November for sure)
-Math: 670
-CR: 690
-Writing: 690
SAT II:
-Chemistry: 790
-US History: 750
-Lit:700
-Math 2c: 670 :( need to retake in December, but even if i don't will this kill me?</p>
<p>AP Scores:
-World History: 3
-Chemistry: 3
-US History: 5
-English Lang.: 5</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
Played on the JV water polo team for 2 years, captain in the second year.
Vice President of my high school's NHS.
Founder and President of the school's Skiing and Snowboarding Club.
Co-captain of my school's academic decathlon team
and I'm on the FBLA competition team (2nd place in Parlemantary procedures at section XD not that that counts for much).
I won't bother to list the clubs I'm a member of, either than competition teams, I don't think that colleges care.
Outside of school, I'm a volunteer for RFB&D, or reading for the blind and dyslexic, which records text books for, well, the blind and dyslexic.</p>
<p>My major passion and hobby is hiking, and over the course of my 4 high school years I've done a majority of the famous American hikes (I.E. Mount Whitney, Half Dome, Grand Canyon, working on McKinley)</p>
<p>Lastly, one thing that has been following me all of high school has been the fact that, due to class sizes, I was unable to take an honors math class freshmen and sophomore year. If I would have taken those classes I would have had a 4.6 GPA and would have been ranked number 1. To make up for the fact that I had a lower GPA those two years, I dropped some unimportant credits from my junior year, bringing my GPA up to a 4.5 from a 4.4 (accumulative). Anyway, do you think that the fact that I couldn't take those classes will make a difference, especially since I made up a bit for it junior year?</p>
