B- GPA (taking 2 English AP's this year)
710 writing 640 math 590 verbal (retaking next saturday to raise 1230 to possible 1300+)
main EC's: senior governing council representative, secretary of sports reporters club, 3 years of newspaper
great essay that I have been working on for months
horrible rec's (I'm just kidding, the teachers at my school are great magicians)</p>
