<p>I'm an incoming senior who goes to 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 (should be getting 4 more back this summer)</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA - 3.50ish
Rank - Top 10% (top 7%ish I believe)</p>
<p>Will low UW GPA hurt me a lot? I have an insane weighted for being in a magnet program/taking the most weighted courses, but my UW is what's bothering me. May be able to get it up within next 2 quarters of senior year... </p>

<p>Now for a few questions: </p>
