<p>lets get this over with:</p>

<p>sat: 1970 (bad...) Math:700
sat2 physics: 670
sat2 math2c: 720</p>

<p>gpa: 3.3-3.4 uw (god, i had a 3.8 junior year, my stupid freshmen/sophomore year killed me - reason: my family moved and i ended up switching schools twice so my gpa is curve. I'm probably going to get a 3.9 senior year 1st semester and our school sends out grades with that included so maybe a 3.4+)</p>

<p>APs
computer science a 4 (studied by myself, school doesn't offer course)
psychology: 3 (studied by myself, school doesn't offer course)
human geography 4(studied by myself, school doesn't offer course)
will take:
literature (i am taking the class)
calc bc (i am taking the class)
statistics (i am taking the class)
physics c (i am taking the class)
comp sci ab (i am TEACHING the class)</p>

<p>EC's
this is what i hope will set my apart:
Teaching AP Computer Science A - (yes, i am really teaching at my high school - i am teaching my peers 10th, 11th, and 12th graders)</p>

<p>My Company - 2 years - software development (i am doing work for some big organizations - blue ribbon schools of excellence, kamtress automation systems..etc)</p>

<p>Model united nations - 4 years - part of leadership for 2 years</p>

<p>Aspects newspaper - 1 year - technology editor</p>

<p>Internship at kamtress automation systems in India over the summer (3 years ago)</p>

<p>Computer Technician for my school, 2 years</p>

<p>physics satII is low but ur still takin course</p>

<p>wow with all ur teaching urself and others stuff u look like u r pretty interesting</p>

<p>GPA isnt bad at all if it was just ur fresh year</p>

<p>no one ever knows about chances tho srry</p>

<p>your stats are low, but that computer class is really really impressive.</p>

<p>lol. I know how you feel buddy. I took Comp Sci AP sophomore year and our "teacher" didn't know java. We ignored her bad teaching after spending two months with her and crammed for the test 1 month before. Pulled out a 4, but it wasn't easy. The following year I was asked to teach the class as well because the new teacher also was incompetent with java.</p>

<p>=(</p>

<p>Well, I don't think your combined GPA will hurt very much. Just make sure you explain the whole moving thing in the application.</p>

<p>As for the Computer Science thing, nice. </p>

<p>Ragnarok, I think you should lock your teacher in a closet wit a Java manual and a laptop till he spits out a competent java program.</p>

<p>you're an interesting kid but the sats and gpa are kinda low. Its hard to tell.</p>

7

<p>how did u manage to get a 4 on human geo?! I thought they had only one score available for that subject which was a 5 :p</p>

<p>You seem an interesting person, but your stats are really low, sorry to say. Write a great essay and you might get in...who knows. It's like taking a half-court shot, so dont be disappointed if you dont make it to MIT. Btw are u an int'l student or an American?</p>

<p>^^
i got a 4 on that in 10th grade and 10th grade was my <em>quite</em> bad year.
No, im American.</p>
