<p>I just wanted to gauge what others thought about my chances of getting into some schools based on what I've accomplished so far... which isn't alot. D:</p>
<p>I'm African-American and Latino (My mother is Panamanian and my father is from St. Vincent) if that changes anything...</p>
<p>SAT: March: 1830
ACT: Coming up in June
AP: Scores coming in July</p>
<p>Classes
I've left out silly classes... like gym.</p>
<p>Freshman:
World History CP (Final: B+)
Earth Science CP (Final: B+)
Honors English I (Final: B)
Honors Algebra I (Final: B)
Spanish 2 CP (Final: A+)</p>
<p>A word about Freshmen year. I moved to this town from Brooklyn from a highly selective middle school, in which there were only two classes to a grade, and all the classes were at the honors level. When I moved to Roselle Park, they told me CP was basically equal to my Honors, and being a silly 7th grader... I didn't question that. Thus the plethora of CP classes for this year, and the next.</p>
<p>Sophomore:
United States History CP (Final: A)
Biology CP (Final: A)
Honors English II (Final: B+)
Honors Algebra II (Final: A)
Geometry CP (Final: A)
Spanish 3 CP (Final: A)</p>
<p>A word about this. I was given geometry at the CP level due to scheduling conflicts. Having doubled up in math, the Honors Geometry class was that the same time at the Algebra 2 Honors. </p>
<p>Junior:
English III Honors (A)
AP Biology (B+ - A)
AP United States History (A)
Spanish 4 H (A)
Chemistry H (A)
PreCalculus H (B+ - A) (I'm leaning more toward A)</p>
<p>As far as my GPA, at the end of Sophomore year, it was a 3.6, unweighted.
I have a fair amount of concern with that given my school's... well, stupidity. All of the Spanish classes up to 3 are CP, so there's no way of having those at an honors level, and given the whole scheduling conflict with Geometry, it might also bring down the ultimate GPA.</p>
<p>I don't know if the classes next year count, but so far, I plan to take:</p>
<p>Physics CP ... (Physics H isn't being offered anymore because of funding. I'm mad about that)
AP Chem
AP Calc AB
AP Spanish
AP English Comp</p>
<p>I intended to take some Psych classes at a local community college.</p>
<p>My whole thing about classes next year is one, I don't know if they'll even be there next year given Governor Christie hates public schools, and those are really the only classes I can take given that most electives in my school are at the Standard level, which could possibly bring down my GPA.</p>
<p>Extra Curricular:
Track (10)
Ecology (10-11)
Students Always Showing Support Club (10-11) (President 11th)
Spanish Club (10-11)
CARE (I have no idea what that stands for, but it's a multicultural club) (11)
Powerback (11) - It just got started this year, and it's basically an anti-domestic violence club
Future Health Careers Club (11)
LFD (Lead for Diversity) (11) - I'm not in the club, but I was picked to help with their action plan in our town's middle school to spread awareness about hate crimes.
- While doing that, I was trained in facilitating group discussions.
Spanish Honors Society - (11)
RYLA (Rotary) (11) - Basically, I went to a camp sponsored by Rotary for young leaders.
Taekwondo (9-10) - This took up a chunk of time, but was ultimately too expensive to keep up)
Academic Honors/Excellence
Church member</p>
<p>A lot of the awards and stuff are given out at the end of this year, so I have to wait a little longer for the full list.</p>
<p>So, I want to apply to...</p>
<p>George Washington
Johns Hopkins
American
Columbia
Macaulay Honors College
Northeastern
NYU
City College (Gotta have a safety...)</p>
<p>I intended to apply to some of those colleges under an unpopular major... like Gender Studies (my teachers tell me that might help) and switch to Neuroscience (if its offered) or chemistry ASAP.</p>
<p>So... how about those chances?</p>
