* At my school, my course load is considered very demanding. Also, very few students take AP courses due to the requirements such as a 90 average, essay and interview and due to the fact that they are extremely challenging and very few people earn UW A’s.
* Also, by the time I graduate high school, I will graduate with 7 years of foreign language which exceeds the 5 year requirement, and is rare in my school, must people do 5. </p>

<p>Unweighted: 3.0
Weighted: I am not sure, probably like a 3.3
Rank: 52/90, low rank due to hard schedule and the fact that I slacked off. </p>

<p>Jobs:
Sophmore Year and Junior Year, I was a camp counselor at a sleep-away camp in CT, for 2 months.
I am a certified lifeguard as well.
I helped coach a youth softball team last spring. </p>

<p>Teacher Recommendations = Excellent, French teacher said one of the best they’ve encountered in their career, AP U.S. teacher said one of the best students as well. </p>

<p>I would like to double major in international relations with a concentration in politics and philosophy. Also, maybe minor in Art History.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you're a safe candidate, you are obviously very athletic and less art oriented. Pitt will like your varsity sports. also, your scores are average to above avg for pitt, and if you can raise that math score a tinsy bit, you're almost guaranteed.</p>

<p>I think will will look pass the 3.0 gpa, besides, its still a B</p>

<p>good luck =]</p>

<p>Thanks so much for responding!! Pitt is definitely one of my top choices. The only thing that I think will really hurt me is my rank.</p>
