<p>So i'm a black guy and go to super competitive public high school and have always taken challenging courses but i'm a bit worried that my super rough freshman year is gonna screw me over. But I was hoping my extra curriculars and essay will be enough to help me in the admissions process..along with being a minority.</p>
<p>GPA Unweighted:
9th-2.94
10th- 3.29
11th- 3.43</p>
<p>Including senior year I will graduate taking 5 AP Classes (AP Scores Still Not in Yet)</p>
<p>Unweighted Overall: 3.22
Overall Weighted may be 3.5-3.7 I'm not sure yet.</p>
<p>As for class rank, that's what I'm freaking out about because since my high school is super competitive i might not make the top 50% mark so I may be slightly below that 50% mark.</p>

<p>Thanks. So I was wondering if you guys should tell me I have a chance at any of my desired schools or even my 2 safety schools. With senior year drawing near, I am very nervous to where I might go for college....</p>
