<p>I am a sophomore in a very difficult Yeshiva Highschool and have nearly double the workload of the average student my GPA is 3.56, but without my Jewish classes it is 3.7 how do colleges look at my Jewish courses, and would they value my GPA over one of a public school student that has a GPA equal to mine?
Second question: My PSAT grades without studying were a 63 on Critical reading (96th percentile among sophomores) 51 on Math (74th percentile among sophomores) and 55 on Writing skills (90th percentile among sophomores). Are these scores good, I already know my math needs improvement.</p>
<p>Can someone help me please, these questions are really eating away at me.</p>
<p>What do the guidance counselors at your school have to say about college admission? They would be the first people for you to ask.</p>
<p>When I used to teach in a Jewish day school, our school profile, which we sent along with the Secondary School Report when students applied to college, included a thorough explanation of the dual curriculum along with other information that allowed admissions committees to evaluate students’ records in context.</p>
<p>That having been said, happymom is right that the first place for you to go to discuss this question is your high school guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, I think I’ll also ask my cousin, she’s an admissions officer at Harvard.</p>
