<p>Question: how much of your senior grades goes towards the gpa you send to colleges? how does that work out?</p>

<p>1490 SAT as a sophomore suggests you can raise that score a bit, which would be really great.
It would be helpful to know your unweighted GPA.
Curriculum looks solid (how did you take AP Physics as a sophomore? Don’t you need calc?)
Your ECs are okay, but hardly overwhelming.<br>
Much will depend on your essays and recs.
And your GPA will be based on 9-11 grades, but strong consideration can be given to the first quarter or semester of senior year.</p>

<p>AP Physics B requires no calculus knowledge.
Your junior year grades and before will be the only grades NU will see unless you go ED, then I believe you send in grades from your first marking period (quarter, trimester, whatever).</p>
