Chances

<p>I absolutely hate this, and if anyone from my school saw this, it would be mortifying. But my anxiety is so unbearably intense at this point, I figure it can't hurt too much. </p>

<p>I am a senior at a really difficult private school in New York with 49 students in my grade. </p>

<p>I've taken 3 AP's ( AP US, AP Bio, and AP Latin: Vergil) in the past 2 years, plus advanced math classes, Pre-calc junior year and Calculus this year. I got a 4 on my AP US and I have A's in both of my other ones. AP's are only offered Junior and Senior year, and I had a choice of only 5. Also, none of them are weighted because the non AP classes are equally as difficult. </p>

<p>Last year I had a 3.7 gpa taking AP US, Pre Calc, Biology, Transformations (1st sem), Madness in Literature (2nd sem), Advanced Latin Lit (really, AP Latin Literature, but my teacher was too lazy to submit a class syllabus). This semester I have approx a 3.55 taking AP Latin: Vergil, AP Bio, The Essay, Modern India, and Calculus. 10th grade was horrible (3.1 gpa), but I took advanced classes then too (Advanced chemistry, Trig, Latin IV) and I had a 3.4 gpa in 9th grade. My composite gpa is a 3.4, which is pretty good, and I've shown a mass upward trajectory in the past two years, the most important years. </p>

<p>Also, I'm pretty sure my school cant be compared to any public school, so take that into account before you compare me to 4.34 or 4.0 students who have taken 11 AP's. Mind you, not even the highest composite gpa at my school is a 4.0, and nothing is weighted. </p>

<p>SAT: 670 CR 590 M (fail) 660 W = 1920 composite
670- Bio SAT II
630- US History SAT II
I'm wondering if the fact that I've done decently in Pre-Calc and Calc can overpower the fact that I have problems with the time constraints of the math section. </p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Drawing and Painting (I am taking what is considered AP Studio Art, I've been taking drawing and painting for 4 years and I plan to submit an art supplement. Fairly intensive)</p>

<p>Captain of Varsity Swim (I've been on it for 4 years)</p>

<p>Peer Leader ( I was chosen to mentor the 9th graders, easing them into the high school
experience by leading workshops. It's pretty intensive)</p>

<p>Humor Section Editor of the Newspaper Publication (2 years; I write a lot of satire)
Hospital Volunteerism (2 years)</p>

<p>Founded and led "Radirsha Squad" ( A club exploring alternative art/artists, watching movies, discussing drawings, paintings, humor et al.) </p>

<p>Your ECs are very strong. However, (if at all possible) you should try to raise your SAT score so that it substantiates your claim of grade deflation.</p>
