But here's the thing, I'm lazy AF and I play way too much games. I spend about 30 minutes of HW a day and procrastinate hard. I know I can break that habit if I really do have a chance and I thought it'd be a good time to start.
If I were to stop playing games I could manage ap compsci, which equates to 7 weighted classes, 1 unweighted. We have a block schedule so we're allowed 8 classes</p>

<p>Now I know this is just average
compared to everyone else applying so I'm asking for all of your opinions, advices, critiques.
extra info: Asian, pretty good gamer- won a league season LOL. not sure if that means anything, I love tech- read lots of articles I know alot from CPU's to android etc.
May participate in intel SF for computing etc
Strong republican (forming my own republican club) but contrary to popular belief of republicans, I'm not a narrowminded individual
-internet culture person, I spend may too much time on it, reddit, tickld etc</p>

<p>I'd like to think i'm not too dumb, but I feel pretty discouraged after seeing what everyone is capable of
Thanks for your input guise ^_^!
any extra curricular activities that are easy please tell me lol...</p>

<p>Anything is possible when you remind yourself that you are an independent black women who doesn’t need no man.</p>

3

<p>aint nobody got time 4dat</p>

<p>I just want to ask you what kind of teacher have what kind of school you in? In my school, you can’t take AP chem and Ap physics at the same time, no juniors allow to take Ap calculus. My school all Ap test average was like 2.5 some of them are 1.5 or lower…</p>

5

<p>Thanks for your response, I go to a SoCal school running a block schedule.We’re ranked 3xx in the nation. Because of block we have 8 periods. What school do you go to? 2.5 is awfully low</p>

6

<p>“won a league season”? like league of legends? haha just curious.</p>

<p>anyways, i recommend keeping that sat score up like you are in practice tests, and getting it over with asap in the fall or jan 2014. after that you can focus on your ECs and school. your grades look good. gl</p>

7

<p>Don’t believe half of what you read on this site. Your stats are fine. Keep the GPA up, nail the SAT and work on the EC’s. GL.</p>

8

<p>I go to a public school in NYC. My school rank 100th in the city. I’m okay with it. My teachers do not give me a high grade for some reason. And most Seniors in our school never dare to take AP Calculus, most of them take a class called Pre Calculus. It’s a pre course of calculus lol</p>

9

<p>Yeah, I’m taking precalculus now and will be taking the SAT2 for math. Unless our standards differ that much, math is really easy as for as I’m concerned…then again east coast does have higher standards then west coast.
@sosomenza, thanks i’m also going to be graduating as a junior, thoughts?
League season referring to combat arms lol since that game died i’m switching to CS GO, still getting used to the mechanics but I can acheive a constant 4 kdr in Search/Destroy Competitive. I blow at league, dota2, etc . i’m a fps player.</p>

10

<p>Since you’re Asian, it’ll be a huge reach. You need a higher SAT and better ECs I think.</p>

11

<p>Jingpeng: It seems you school is not very competitive in math. Most students take pre-calc in sophomore or the latest in junior year.</p>

12

<p>“far reach”?
What other EC’s should I add</p>

13

<p>My teacher told me “if you getting a 100 or 99 in regent(state test), you go straight to calculus.” And you a intelligent person lol.</p>
