<p>In-state???</p>

3

<p>I am not in-state.</p>

4

<p>whats your class rank and what state do you live in?</p>

5

<p>We do not have class rank, and I live in Minnesota</p>

6

<p>guess? like top 5% or 15%</p>

7

<p>Im definetely in the top 15%. maybe even top 5 or 10%</p>

<p>The reason is because our GPA is not weighted so people who take a lot of AP classes and have a 3.8 GPA lose to those who have no AP classes and have a 4.0. INJUSTICE, lol.</p>

<p>any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Also, can you elaborate on “-Gold Award in National Writing Competition (chosen out of 140,000 work)”</p>

<p>It was like this writing competition. It was basically a semifinals for nationals. I got gold in semifinals (kinda like first place) and advanced to finals, but did not place in finals nationals.</p>
