<p>My grades have increased dramatically from frosh through junior year, but i'm wondering if i've done well enough within three years to apply early. Should I do well in the beginning of senior year to raise my gpa/rank to put my best foot forward in the RD process? I've heard that this is a good option for those who have done badly in the beginning of high school. I'm really debating whether I should apply ED or wait. What do you think? Thanks. </p>
<p>Asian male, NJ, small public school , 140 in my grade(we usually send around 10 kids to ivies)</p>
<p>Intended major: econ, mathematics</p>
<p>Freshman gpa: 3.68 UW, 3.74 W
Sophomore gpa: 3.97 UW, 4.4 W
Junior gpa: 4.1 UW, 4.9 W (took 5 ap's, thus the inflated gpa, also my school's UW system works like this- A is 4.0 and A+ is 4.3. thats how i have a 4.1 UW if anyone was wondering.)
My junior year has pulled me into the top 5%, but should I wait to move up higher?
My overall is about 3.9 UW and 4.37 W</p>
