<p>Just a couple of thoughts while waiting for your SAT scores, which will give a clearer picture of your chances. Madison only looks at unweighted GPA. A 3.75 puts you in the vast middle of the pack. Honors classes are not given much weight either as the meaning of “honors” varies from high school to high school. Take more AP courses and score well on the AP tests. Continue to build your resume but don’t just keep adding “member of so and so club.” If you run track, stay on the team. Show consistency and dedication to a couple of activities that really interest you rather than joining a bunch of organizations just to have them on your resume. Good luck!</p>
