<p>Well I’m a junior this year and I’m doing worse than expected. I got a horrible gpa this semester (3.0). Another bad thing is that I got a D in AP Calc…</p>
<p>GPA: 3.5 UW - 3.5 UC/CSU gpa - 3.76W
PSAT: Predicted 1280 (I didn’t study), but I’m hoping for a 1350/1950 (I’m taking it in March)
RANK: Top 5-10% out of around 650 students</p>
<p>9th: All classes were Gate level, which is basically honors with no grade bump.</p>
<p>10th: All gate classes and 1 honors - HL Pre-Calc</p>
<p>11th: AP Calc, AP US, AP Eng, HL Chem, HL Span 3, and Journalism</p>
<p>12th: (Projected Schedule) - AP Psych, AP Eng, AP Stats, AP Gov/Econ, Journalism and Physics</p>
<p>EC’s/Community Service/Awards: Tennis, CSF, Foreign Foods Club (VP), Journalism (Focus Editor), Early Academic Outreach Program, Relay 4 Life, Key Club (VP), Random Acts of Kindness Club, Conservation Club, Certificate of Scholastic Achievement, Circle B Athletic Award, Block B Academic Letter, and “Most Consistent Player” - Tennis.</p>
<p>Also 2 immediate family members had/have cancer during my high school years. My essay topic is about Relay 4 Life…I will have done it for 5 yrs, and the team I’m on with my high school friends should have raised over 50k dollars.</p>
<p>I’m applying the first day I can, for all of my schools…I hope that will improve my chances.</p>
