I’m an Asian male in my junior year, and I’m in-state for SSTP. Here are my stats:
SAT: 1500 (750 math, 750 reading)
PSAT: 1490 (750 math, 740 reading)
I haven’t taken the ACT or any SAT subject tests yet, but the scores should be pretty high I think (if that’s even relevant).
Unweighted GPA: 4.00 / 7.00
Weighted GPA: 6.22 / 7.00
Class Rank: 4 / 472
AP Scores: Human Geography (5), World History (5), Psychology (5), Calculus AB (4)

Unfortunately, I don’t have any prior research experience; will this count against me?
