<p>My freshman year, I got straight As and took 2 honors classes. Sophomore year, I took 2 honors and one college in high school chem class, where I got a C average ): And I got a C in geometry. This year, I'm taking 2 APs (English, US History) 1 college class (physics) and 1 reg (algebra 2). I started the year out with a D in physics and raised it to an A, but it averaged out to a C ): My physics teacher wrote me a letter of reccomendation. I worked my butt off and she inspired me so much. My unweighted GPA is a 3.5 ): I am dying to get into Pitt. My mom works for a UPMC hospital that's a 2 minute walk away from the dorms in Oakland where Pitt Main is. I get 50% off tuition too!

SAT for the first time was a 1640, I studied for the math this time, so now I'm expecting at the LEAST a 1750. </p>
<p>I got 2 letters of rec. from my AP US history teacher who saw my great improvement from the 80% I hardly had to the 92% I earned this last quarter, and from my physics teacher who saw me buckle down and start setting curves on tests. My essay is about Syria, how I would go there as a kid and see it as a paradise, and how I was blinded by my innocence, and now it's a hell where my family fears for their children on a daily basis without electricity and water. I then talk about how I want to change lives for the better and be the good in the world that many can be deprived off, and I mention my volunteer work and why I do it.</p>
<p>Do you think I'll get in? My parents and friends all think I should have no problem getting in, and that I'm worrying too much about it. I am so in love with Pitt main and I even am applying June 16th, which is 3 months earlier than when students usually apply. I also took my SAT on campus so I knew what I was working for haha. Thanks!</p>
