<p>I am currently a junior and I'm expecting my GPA to be around a 3.65 weighted. I know that's not the best GPA but I do have a lot of extracurricular activities. I was really lazy my first two years of high school, and I didn't get really motivated until this year and I have found a passion of mine and I want to major in economics, I haven't taken either the SAT or the ACT but I am scheduled to do so, I just want to know what chances I have of getting in.

<p>Hello
I am From Jamaica and I also applied to Wake forest regular decision. I would love to know what you think my chances are too. My gpa is 3.2 out of 4, The school system is different here than in America so we don’t have any honors but we do have a grade 13. Which is like pre college courses. I am in grade 13 and this is my final year. I will not be submitting my SATs but is what I got.
I am the vice secretary of UNESCO
Vice treasurer of KEY club
President of the cultural society re-establishment committee
in the tennis club
in the field hockey club
I only participate within my school for the sports.
I am a member of the departing society and
The inter school christian fellowship.
I volunteer at an animal shelter and teach adults and children how to read and do math in my church’s adult education program.
In Jamaican public high schools we do not have class rankings but at the end of grades 11, grade 12 and grade 13 every school in the Caribbean takes the same exam. These are like our end of high school exams. Grade 12 students take an exam that is called the Caribbean advanced proficiency exam in each subject. in 2011 i took the exam and ranked 10th in Caribbean for the history exam (out of 1890 students from 10 different islands). What do you think my chances are?</p>
