<p>Let me first say that I've never made a "B" in my first three years. My weighted GPA is a 4.083 and unweighted is 4.0. However, I may have screwed myself due to my first semester grades. The first 9 weeks I got all A's, with the exception of an 89 in AP Biology. The second 9 weeks I got 6 A's...1 B (87 or 88 in AP Euro) and a 60 in AP bio.</p>
<p>Yes. A 60...which means I'll have a 75 average for the first semester. If I get 85's the next two semesters (which is possible and I can do it), then I'll have a B average.</p>
<p>However I'm just really worried that my mid-year report will kill me and I'll be an automatic REJECT because it probably appears that I have senioritus.</p>
<p>In my defense, I have 4 AP classes this year and we're on a new schedule called "A/B Block". It's like college in that you take classes every other day...however instead of 2 classes a day, we have 4. So we're taking 8 classes at once. The past 3 years we've done regular block where we take 4 classes per semester, which, in my opinion, is fair to the student. 8 classes at once with half of them being AP's is rigorous. However, I do acknowledge the fact that a 60 is unacceptable.</p>
<p>I'm worried! Anyway, here is the rest of my stats from a past "chance thread".</p>
<p>Chance me again!</p>
<hr>
<p>General: Rising Senior, Male, Alabama.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: White.</p>
<p>Career Interests: Dentistry, culinary arts, broadcasting, Spanish (not as a career, but if I double majored). </p>
<p>School Info: Our school first opened in 2005 when I was a Freshman. I'll be apart of the first four-year graduating class. My school became an IB school this past year, however, you have to be a Freshman when you begin the IB program, so I wasn't able to participate in the program.</p>
<p>School Stats: GPA: 4.0 Unweighted. 4.083 Weighted. This year was the first year we could take APs, and I got an A in both of those classes (AP US/AP 11 English). Senior year I should have 4 AP classes, and an honors Spanish 5 class which'll be on a 4.5 scale? lol. That's just what my Spanish teacher told me. Anyway, If I get all A's again, I should complete high school with just over a 4.2 weighted GPA. Toughest courseload offered.</p>
<p>Rank: 1/200+ (not sure on exact #, obviously).</p>
<p>Testing:
30 on ACT.</p>
<p>EC's:
-National Honor Society (1 year; Senior year)
-National Spanish Honors Society
-Spanish Club President (4 years; President - Senior year)
-School Webmaster (1 year; Senior year)
-Varsity football Quarterback. (Freshman year we just worked out because we didn't get a coaching staff in time. Sophomore year I was the Varsity backup (although I did play in some Varsity games), started JV and was the captain of JV. Junior year, I was the starter and team captain and was second on the team in touchdowns---only behind our all-metro WR/RB. Senior year...I doubt I'll play. All of our coaches were fired and I knew back in November that I was done. I worked harder than anyone, and I was just sick of the BS. I was no longer happy playing, so I will just move on. Yeah, the attention that goes along with being the quarterback is cool, but that's not what matters. Happiness matters, not highschool "fame".
-I had a Private quarterback coach for football for 2 years. I would go to school from 8-3:10. Football practice from 3:30 to sometimes 6:30, and then a two hour session with private QB coach after that. I did that in the football season and in the summer for 3-4 times a week.
-Art. I placed 3rd in state for a 2D art contest. I also got honorable mention in state for this "Post-Card" contest.
-Quiz Bowl (2 years - fresh year we didn't have it, soph year I did it, this past year I tried to do it but it was SO unorganized, and I'm going to do it Senior year).
-A college preparation website for highschool students (Coming Soon still under construction)
-If I don't play football, I'm either going to do Mixed Martial Arts, play Piano, or play Baseball or Soccer in the spring. A job is a possibility, as well as getting a trainer at the gym (lol, only feels right considering I won't be playing football).</p>
<p>Community Service:
-This summer I got around 150-200 hours with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I've gotten around 70 at my Uncle's golf course, and another 10 or so with Spanish-club related stuff.</p>
<p>Awards:
-Letter from the Mayor acknowledging my achievements in highschool due to seeing me featured in the newspaper.
-Principal's Award.
-A honor roll.</p>
<h2>-As stated before, 3rd in state in 2D art competition, honorable mention in another contest, and 2nd in state in this QuizBowl-esque thing for this Spanish competition (same event that I won 3rd in state in for Art). </h2>
<p>Chance me for RD.</p>
