<p>Asian Male from one of the more competitive high schools in Central New Jersey
GPA: around 3.86 Freshmen year, around 3.3 Sophomore year, 3.90 junior year
I missed a whole entire sophomore year due to personal illnesses and family obligations, and had to repeat. In fact I had to go back to China that year to resolve some of those family obligations. My counselor explained my circumstances very well in the rec. My soph year GPA dropped significantly due to a year of absence and I was just not mentally ready. rigor of courses is good.

Physics Honors（B+）
German 4 Honors(A+)
AP Calc AB(took a p/f since my health is not in the best shape, my counselor recommended this to reduce my pressure. not sure if that was the best decision)
AP European History(B)
AP Statistics(A)
AP English II (B- or B)

<p>You junior year GPA dropped significantly? It was the year that you had your highest GPA with a 3.90. Is that a typo?</p>
<p>i meant soph it is now fixed thank you for the reminder</p>
<p>Boston College(deferred early action)- I don't have the slightest clue as to why you were deferred. Your SAT are in their 95th percentile or so. After reading the decisions on that board, many less qualified people got inm even some to honors.

NYU Stern- match
Carnegie Mellon(tepper)-match/high match but likely in
Columbia University- High match, 50/50
