<p>I'm an incoming senior who goes to a national ranked/recognized school in MD
Thanks a lot people, critique is welcome</p>

<p>SAT I: 2220 (720 M, 750 V, 750 W - retaking in Oct for EA)
SAT II: 730 USH, 730 Math I (retaking both in Nov along with Bio for ND)</p>

<p>^
both 1st time taking with minimal studying</p>

<p>APs: World History 5, U.S. History 5, Calc AB 5, English Lang/Comp 5, Comp Sci A 4</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA - 3.50ish
